Overview
Geração Diesel Irmãos Hort is a 2.64 MW diesel power plant in Brazil. It operates on oil fuel and is currently operational.
Geração Diesel Irmãos Hort is a diesel power plant located in Brazil, with coordinates approximately 27.11°S, 48.94°W. The facility has a capacity of 2.64 MW, placing it in the small-scale category for power generation. It is currently operational and uses oil as its primary fuel. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which include emission standards for stationary sources. Diesel power plants of this size typically use internal combustion engines and may be subject to local air quality permits. Brazil's power sector is diverse, with a strong emphasis on hydroelectricity, but diesel plants serve as backup or off-grid generation. As a small diesel facility, Geração Diesel Irmãos Hort likely provides localized power supply, possibly for industrial or remote applications. Its environmental footprint includes CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions typical of oil combustion. The plant's role in the regional grid may be limited due to its small capacity.
Environmental context
The plant uses oil as fuel, which results in emissions of CO2, SOx, and NOx. Its small capacity (2.64 MW) suggests a relatively modest environmental impact compared to larger fossil fuel plants. Diesel plants often operate in or near communities, requiring adherence to local air quality standards. Brazil's regulatory framework for such facilities includes licensing and emission control requirements.
