Overview
PLASDIL - Plásticos Divinópolis is a 1.772 MW diesel power plant in Brazil. It operates on oil fuel and serves local energy needs.
PLASDIL - Plásticos Divinópolis is a small-scale diesel power plant located in Brazil, with a capacity of 1.772 MW. The facility is operational and contributes to the local power generation mix, primarily serving industrial or community energy demands in the region. As a diesel-fired plant, it operates using oil as its primary fuel. In Brazil, such plants are often used for backup or peak-load generation due to their flexibility. The regulatory framework for power generation in Brazil includes national environmental standards and grid connection requirements overseen by ANEEL and environmental agencies. The plant's relatively small capacity places it in the small-scale category for power generation. Its role is likely to provide reliable electricity to nearby facilities or to support grid stability in the area. The environmental impact is typical for diesel plants, with emissions of CO2, SOx, and NOx, but the scale limits its overall footprint.
Environmental context
The plant uses oil as fuel, resulting in emissions of CO2, SOx, and NOx. Its small capacity of 1.772 MW limits the overall environmental footprint. Located in Brazil, it operates under national emission standards and environmental licensing requirements. Diesel plants often serve local grids or industrial sites.
Frequently asked questions
PLASDIL - Plásticos Divinópolis is located in Brazil, with coordinates approximately 20.586°S, 42.166°W.
It is a diesel power plant that uses oil as its primary fuel, with a capacity of 1.772 MW.
The plant has a capacity of 1.772 megawatts (MW), classifying it as a small-scale power generation facility.
Diesel power plants in Brazil must comply with national environmental standards set by CONAMA, including emission limits for pollutants, and are regulated by ANEEL for grid connection and operation.
Small diesel plants emit CO2, SOx, and NOx, but their impact is proportional to their size. They are often used for backup or peak power, and emissions are regulated under Brazilian environmental law.
