Overview
AJ Rorato is a 2.19 MW diesel power plant located in Brazil. It operates on oil and is currently operational.
AJ Rorato is a diesel power plant situated in Brazil, with coordinates 23.9277° S, 52.4869° W. The facility has a capacity of 2.19 MW, placing it in the small-scale category for power generation. It is currently operational. The plant uses oil as its primary fuel, which is typical for diesel power plants. In Brazil, such facilities are regulated under national environmental standards, including CONAMA resolutions for air emissions. Diesel plants are often used for backup or peak load due to their flexibility. As a small-scale diesel facility, AJ Rorato likely serves local grid support or industrial backup needs. Its environmental impact is relatively limited due to its size, though diesel combustion produces CO2, SOx, and NOx. The plant contributes to Brazil's energy mix, which includes a significant share of hydropower.
Environmental context
The plant's diesel combustion emits CO2, SOx, and NOx, contributing to local air quality concerns. Its small capacity (2.19 MW) limits overall emissions compared to larger fossil fuel plants. Diesel plants often operate in or near industrial zones.
