Overview
Aspebras Bahia is a 1.64 MW diesel power plant in Brazil. It operates on oil fuel and serves local energy needs.
Aspebras Bahia is a diesel power plant located in Brazil, with a capacity of 1.64 MW. The facility operates on oil fuel and is currently in operational status, contributing to the regional power supply. As a small-scale diesel plant, Aspebras Bahia operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which include emission standards for stationary sources. Diesel plants typically have higher CO2 and particulate emissions compared to natural gas, but their small capacity limits overall impact. Its operation supports energy access in the region, though diesel generation is generally less efficient and more carbon-intensive than other technologies.
Environmental context
The plant's use of oil fuel results in higher CO2 and SOx emissions per MWh compared to natural gas or renewables. Its small capacity (1.64 MW) limits the absolute environmental footprint. Brazil's regulatory framework includes emission limits for stationary sources, which apply to this facility.
Frequently asked questions
