Overview
Camera Santa Rosa is a 3.12 MW diesel power plant in Brazil. It operates on oil fuel and is currently operational.
Camera Santa Rosa is a diesel power plant located in Brazil, with a capacity of 3.12 megawatts. The facility operates on oil as its primary fuel source and is currently in operational status. As a small-scale diesel plant, it contributes to local power generation in the region. The plant's capacity of 3.12 MW places it in the small-scale category for power generation. Diesel plants like Camera Santa Rosa typically operate as peaking or backup units, providing flexibility to the grid. In Brazil, such facilities may be subject to national environmental regulations, including emission standards for particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. Diesel power plants often serve remote areas or provide emergency power. The facility's location in Brazil's southern region suggests it may support local communities or industrial activities. Its small capacity indicates a limited but potentially important role in regional energy supply.
Environmental context
The plant uses oil as fuel, which results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions. Its small capacity of 3.12 MW limits overall environmental impact compared to larger fossil fuel plants. Proximity to populated areas could influence local air quality, but specific distances are not known. Diesel plants typically operate less frequently than baseload units, reducing annual emissions.
