Butibori Plant is a diesel power generation facility located in Butibori, India, operated by Indo Synthetics Ltd. The plant has an installed capacity of 81.5 MW and is currently operational, playing a role in the local energy supply. The facility uses oil as its primary fuel, a common choice for diesel power plants in India. Diesel plants are often used for peaking power or in areas with limited grid connectivity. India's power sector is regulated by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and state-level agencies, with emission standards for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter under the Environment Protection Act. As a diesel-fired plant, Butibori Plant's environmental footprint includes CO2 emissions and local air pollutants. Its location in an industrial area may influence local air quality. The plant supports grid stability and industrial demand in the region.
Environmental context
The Butibori Plant operates on oil, a fossil fuel with significant CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions. Its capacity of 81.5 MW places it in the small-to-medium scale for Indian diesel plants. Proximity to populated areas could affect local air quality. India's emission standards under the Environment Protection Act apply, though older diesel plants may have less stringent controls.
