Overview

Cristalina Alimentos is a 1.92 MW diesel power plant in Brazil. It operates on oil fuel and is currently operational.

Cristalina Alimentos is a small-scale diesel power plant located in Brazil, with a capacity of 1.92 MW. The facility operates on oil as its primary fuel and is currently in operational status. As a diesel-based plant, it contributes to Brazil's distributed power generation landscape, often serving industrial or agricultural facilities. Brazil's power generation sector is regulated by national environmental standards, including CONAMA resolutions for air emissions. Diesel plants like Cristalina Alimentos typically operate under specific licensing requirements that address fuel storage, combustion efficiency, and emission controls. The plant's small capacity suggests it may serve as backup or peak power for a local industrial operation. The environmental significance of this facility lies in its fuel type and scale. Diesel combustion produces CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, but the small capacity limits overall impact. The plant's role in providing reliable power to its host facility underscores its operational importance.

Environmental context

The plant's use of oil fuel results in emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides, typical for diesel power generation. Its small capacity of 1.92 MW limits the overall environmental footprint compared to larger thermal plants. Local air quality regulations under Brazil's CONAMA standards apply, requiring emission controls and monitoring. The facility's location in a rural or industrial area may reduce direct exposure to dense populations.
