Cia de Alimentos Ibituruna Diesel Power Plant, Brazil

Cia de Alimentos Ibituruna is a diesel power plant located in Brazil, with coordinates -18.779400, -41.954100. The facility has a capacity of 2 MW and uses oil as its primary fuel, classifying it as a small-scale power generation unit within the Brazilian energy landscape. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental and energy regulations, which include standards for emissions and operational permits. Diesel power plants of this size are typically used for backup or peak shaving, and they may be subject to local air quality controls. The technology employed is internal combustion engines, common for small-scale diesel generation. As an operational facility, Cia de Alimentos Ibituruna contributes to the local energy supply, likely supporting industrial or agricultural activities in the region. Its small capacity suggests a role in distributed generation, providing power close to the point of use and reducing transmission losses. The plant's environmental impact is limited by its size, but oil combustion produces CO2 and other pollutants.

The plant uses oil as fuel, resulting in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions typical of diesel generation. Its small 2 MW capacity limits overall emissions, but proximity to populated areas could affect local air quality. Brazil's environmental framework includes emission standards for stationary sources, and the plant likely complies with applicable regulations.
