Overview

Itaguassu Agro Industrial is a 4.45 MW diesel power plant located in Brazil. It operates on oil fuel and is currently operational.

Itaguassu Agro Industrial is a diesel power plant situated in Brazil, with coordinates approximately 10.851°S, 37.1165°W. The facility has a capacity of 4.45 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 and energy regulations, which include emission standards for stationary sources. Diesel power plants of this size typically use reciprocating engines, which have moderate efficiency and emit CO2, SOx, and NOx. Brazil's regulatory framework for such facilities involves licensing and monitoring by environmental agencies. This facility likely serves local industrial or agricultural energy needs, contributing to grid stability in its region. Its small capacity suggests a role in distributed generation or backup power. The plant's environmental impact is limited by its size, but diesel combustion still produces emissions that are regulated under Brazilian law.

Environmental context

The plant uses oil as fuel, which results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions. Its small capacity (4.45 MW) limits overall environmental impact, but proximity to populated areas could affect local air quality. Brazil's environmental regulations require emission controls and monitoring for such facilities.

Frequently asked questions

Itaguassu Agro Industrial is located in Brazil at coordinates approximately 10.851°S, 37.1165°W.

Itaguassu Agro Industrial is a diesel power plant that uses oil as its primary fuel.

The plant has a capacity of 4.45 megawatts (MW), making it a small-scale power generation facility.

Diesel power plants in Brazil must comply with national environmental standards, including emission limits for pollutants like SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, enforced by agencies such as IBAMA.

Small diesel plants emit CO2, SOx, and NOx, but their overall impact is limited by low capacity. Proper maintenance and emission controls can reduce local air quality effects.
