Overview
O Boticário São Gonçalo dos Campos is a 1.44 MW diesel power plant in Brazil. It operates on oil fuel and serves local energy needs.
O Boticário São Gonçalo dos Campos is a small-scale diesel power plant located in Brazil, with a capacity of 1.44 MW. The facility is operational and contributes to the local power generation mix, primarily serving industrial or commercial energy demands in the region. As a diesel-fired plant, it operates using oil as its primary fuel. In Brazil, diesel power plants are often used for backup or peak-load generation due to their flexibility. The plant's small capacity places it in the lower tier of power generation facilities, typical for decentralized or emergency power supply. The environmental impact of this plant is relatively limited due to its small size, but diesel combustion emits CO2, SOx, and NOx. It operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which set emission limits for stationary sources. The plant's role is likely to provide reliable power for the O Boticário facility or nearby areas.
Environmental context
The plant's diesel combustion produces CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, though its small capacity minimizes overall impact. Located in São Gonçalo dos Campos, Bahia, the facility operates in a region with moderate air quality concerns. Brazil's environmental framework, including CONAMA resolutions, governs emission standards for such plants.
