Overview
Boa Vista do Ramos is a 2.062 MW diesel power plant in Brazil. It operates on oil fuel and serves the local energy grid.
Boa Vista do Ramos is a diesel power plant located in Brazil, with a capacity of 2.062 MW. The facility is operational and contributes to the regional power supply, utilizing oil as its primary fuel source. As a small-scale plant, it plays a role in meeting local electricity demand. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental and energy regulations, which include emission standards for stationary sources. Diesel and oil-fired plants in Brazil are subject to licensing requirements and air quality controls, though specific compliance details for this facility are not publicly available. The technology used is typical for smaller, decentralized power generation units. Environmentally, the plant's reliance on oil fuel results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions. Its small capacity limits its overall impact, but proximity to populated areas may influence local air quality. The facility supports grid stability in the region, particularly during peak demand or as backup generation.
Environmental context
The plant uses oil as fuel, which produces CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions. Its small capacity of 2.062 MW limits its environmental footprint, but local air quality may be affected depending on population density nearby. Brazil's environmental framework requires licensing and emission controls for such facilities.
