BOINERSA Diesel Power Plant, Spain | 24.6 MW Oil-Fired Facility

BOINERSA is a diesel power plant situated in Spain, with coordinates 42.65°N, -8.90°W. It has a capacity of 24.6 MW, placing it in the small-scale range for power generation. The plant is owned by BOIRO ENERGIA S.A. and is currently operational. The facility operates using oil as its primary fuel, a common choice for diesel plants. In Spain, power generation facilities are subject to the EU Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) and must adhere to Best Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions for large combustion plants. Diesel plants typically use reciprocating engines and may have lower efficiency compared to combined cycle gas turbines. As a small-scale diesel plant, BOINERSA likely serves local grid needs or provides backup power. Its environmental impact includes CO2 emissions from oil combustion, as well as SOx and NOx, which are regulated under EU standards. The plant's location near the coast (Galicia region) may influence local air quality considerations.

The plant's use of oil as fuel results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, which are regulated under the EU Industrial Emissions Directive. Its capacity of 24.6 MW is relatively small, limiting its overall environmental footprint. The facility's location in a coastal area of Spain may require compliance with additional local environmental regulations to protect air quality and marine ecosystems.
