Overview
DANAPUR BMM is a 25 MW coal power plant in India, operated by Bmm Pvt Ltd. It contributes to the regional power grid with coal-fired generation.
DANAPUR BMM is a coal-fired power plant located in India, with a capacity of 25 MW. The plant is owned and operated by Bmm Pvt Ltd and is currently operational. As a small-scale coal power facility, it plays a role in meeting local electricity demand. The plant operates under India's environmental regulations, including the Environment Protection Act and emission standards for coal plants. With a capacity of 25 MW, it is considered a small-scale facility in the Indian power sector, which relies heavily on coal for baseload generation. The plant's environmental impact is tied to its coal fuel source, which produces CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions. Its location in a semi-arid region of Karnataka may influence local air quality. The plant serves the local grid, supporting industrial and residential electricity needs in the area.
Environmental context
The plant's coal combustion generates emissions that may affect local air quality, particularly in the surrounding region of Karnataka. The 25 MW capacity indicates a relatively small footprint compared to larger coal plants, but the cumulative impact of coal-fired generation in India contributes to national greenhouse gas levels. Proximity to populated areas could increase exposure to pollutants.
