Overview
Grafite Pedra Azul is a 3.6 MW diesel power plant located in Brazil. It operates on oil fuel and is currently operational.
Grafite Pedra Azul is a diesel power plant located in Brazil, with a capacity of 3.6 MW. This facility operates on oil fuel and is classified as a small-scale power generation unit within the Brazilian energy sector. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which include emission standards for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. Diesel power plants in Brazil are subject to licensing requirements and may need to comply with air quality standards set by CONAMA (National Environment Council). As a small-scale diesel plant, Grafite Pedra Azul likely serves local or industrial power needs, contributing to grid stability in its region. Its environmental impact is relatively limited due to its small capacity, but diesel combustion still produces CO2 and other pollutants.
Environmental context
The plant uses oil as fuel, which results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions. Its small capacity (3.6 MW) limits overall environmental impact, but proximity to populated areas could affect local air quality. Brazil's regulatory framework requires emission controls and monitoring for such facilities.
