Overview
Laticinios Bela Vista - Maravilha is a 3.36 MW diesel power plant in Brazil. It operates on oil fuel and is currently operational.
Laticinios Bela Vista - Maravilha is a diesel power plant located in Brazil, with a capacity of 3.36 MW. The facility operates on oil as its primary fuel and is currently in operational status. This small-scale plant serves local energy needs within the region. In Brazil, diesel power plants are typically used for backup or peak-load generation, especially in areas not connected to the main grid. The plant's capacity places it in the small-scale category for power generation. Regulatory oversight for such facilities falls under national environmental and energy regulations, including emission standards set by CONAMA (Conselho Nacional do Meio Ambiente). As a diesel-fired facility, the plant contributes to local electricity supply but also has a higher carbon footprint per MWh compared to renewable sources. Its operation supports industrial or agricultural activities in the area, providing reliable power for local communities and businesses.
Environmental context
The plant uses oil as fuel, which results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions typical of diesel combustion. Its small capacity limits overall environmental impact, but proximity to populated areas could affect local air quality. The facility operates under Brazilian environmental regulations, which require emission controls and monitoring to mitigate pollution.
Frequently asked questions
Laticinios Bela Vista - Maravilha is located in Brazil, with coordinates approximately 26.7746° S, 53.1925° W.
It is a diesel power plant that uses oil as its primary fuel to generate electricity.
The plant has a capacity of 3.36 megawatts (MW), classifying it as a small-scale power generation facility.
Diesel power plants in Brazil are regulated by CONAMA (National Environment Council) resolutions, which set emission limits for pollutants such as SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. Plants must also comply with state-level environmental licensing requirements.
Diesel power plants emit CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, contributing to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The impact depends on capacity, fuel quality, and emission control technologies. Small plants like this have a relatively lower overall impact but still require proper management.
