Overview
Laticinios Bela Vista - Governador Valadares is a 2.24 MW diesel power plant in Brazil. It operates on oil fuel and serves local energy needs.
Laticinios Bela Vista - Governador Valadares is a diesel power plant located in Governador Valadares, Brazil. With a capacity of 2.24 MW, it is a small-scale facility within the country's power generation sector. The plant is operational and contributes to the local energy supply. The plant uses oil as its primary fuel, typical for diesel power plants. In Brazil, such facilities often operate under national environmental regulations, including emission standards set by CONAMA (Conselho Nacional do Meio Ambiente). Diesel plants are generally used for backup or peak load due to their flexibility and lower capital costs. This facility likely serves as a distributed energy resource for the local area, supporting grid stability or providing power for industrial operations. Its small capacity suggests it may be used for emergency backup or to meet localized demand, complementing larger hydroelectric and renewable sources in Brazil's energy mix.
Environmental context
The plant's use of oil fuel results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, typical for diesel power generation. Its location in Governador Valadares, a populated area, may raise local air quality considerations. The small capacity limits overall environmental impact, but emissions are subject to Brazilian environmental standards.
