Overview
Lőrinci Gázturbinás Erőmű is a 170 MW oil-fired power plant in Hungary. It operates as a diesel power plant, contributing to the country's energy grid.
Lőrinci Gázturbinás Erőmű is an operational oil-fired power plant located in Hungary, with a capacity of 170 MW. As a diesel power plant, it plays a role in the country's power generation mix, providing electricity to the grid. The plant operates under Hungary's national energy regulations, which align with European Union directives such as the Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU). This framework sets emission limits for SOx, NOx, and other pollutants, requiring compliance with Best Available Techniques (BAT) for combustion plants. The 170 MW capacity places it in the medium-scale range for oil-fired plants in the region. Environmentally, the plant's use of oil as fuel results in higher CO2 emissions per MWh compared to natural gas. Its location in Hungary's industrial landscape means it contributes to local air quality considerations, though specific emission data is not detailed. The facility supports grid stability and energy security in the region.
Environmental context
The plant's oil fuel source results in a significant carbon footprint and emissions of SOx and NOx, which are regulated under EU standards. Its location in Hungary, a country with growing renewable energy capacity, places it in a transitioning energy landscape.
