Overview
MA AUTOMOTIVE is a 2.4 MW diesel power plant located in Brazil. It operates on oil and is currently operational.
MA AUTOMOTIVE is a diesel power plant located in Brazil, with coordinates approximately -22.4157, -44.2808. The facility has a capacity of 2.4 MW and uses oil as its primary fuel, placing it in the small-scale category for power generation. Brazil's power generation sector is regulated by national standards, including environmental licensing requirements from IBAMA and state agencies. Diesel plants like this one typically operate as backup or peaking units, often subject to emission limits for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter under CONAMA resolutions. The plant's small capacity suggests it may serve local industrial or commercial needs, potentially as a standby source. Its operational status indicates it contributes to grid stability or isolated power supply in the region.
Environmental context
The plant uses oil, which has higher CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions per MWh compared to natural gas or renewables. Its small capacity limits overall environmental impact, but proximity to populated areas could affect local air quality. Brazil's regulatory framework requires compliance with emission standards and environmental licensing.
