Boulevard Belém Diesel Power Plant | Belém, Brazil Power Generation

Boulevard Belém is a diesel power plant situated in Belém, Brazil, with a capacity of 4.44 MW. The facility operates on oil as its primary fuel and is currently in operational status, serving the local energy grid. The plant's capacity places it in the small-scale category for power generation in Brazil. As a diesel-fired facility, it operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which include emission standards for pollutants such as SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. The plant's technology is typical of smaller diesel generators used for peaking or backup power. Environmentally, the plant's oil-based fuel results in higher CO2 emissions per MWh compared to natural gas or renewables. Its location in Belém, a city in the Amazon region, raises considerations regarding air quality and proximity to populated areas. The plant plays a role in ensuring grid stability and meeting local electricity demand.

The plant's use of oil as fuel results in significant CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions per unit of electricity generated. Its location in Belém, a city in the Amazon basin, means emissions may affect local air quality and contribute to regional environmental impacts. The relatively small capacity limits its overall footprint, but the fuel type and urban proximity are key environmental considerations.
