Overview
Cencosud - GBarbosa - 84 is a 1.08 MW diesel power plant in Brazil, operational and using oil as primary fuel. It serves as a small-scale generation unit.
Cencosud - GBarbosa - 84 is a diesel power plant located in Brazil, with coordinates near -9.6489, -35.7058. It has a capacity of 1.08 MW and is currently operational. The plant uses oil as its primary fuel, typical for small-scale diesel generation units in the region. Brazil's power generation sector is regulated by national standards, including environmental licensing requirements from IBAMA and state agencies. Small diesel plants like this one often operate under simplified permitting, but must comply with emission limits for particulate matter and NOx. The plant's capacity places it in the small-scale category, often used for backup or remote area supply. The plant's operational status indicates it contributes to local grid stability or serves a specific commercial facility. Its small size and diesel fuel type suggest a role in peak shaving or emergency power. The environmental impact is limited due to low capacity, but local air quality considerations apply.
Environmental context
The plant uses oil as fuel, emitting CO2, SOx, and NOx. Its small capacity (1.08 MW) limits overall emissions, but proximity to populated areas could affect local air quality. Brazil's environmental framework requires licensing and monitoring for such facilities, though small diesel plants may have less stringent oversight.
