Its small capacity and diesel fuel type result in a moderate environmental footprint, with emissions managed under federal and state permits.
Environmental context
The plant's small 1 MW capacity and diesel fuel use result in moderate CO2 and NOx emissions per unit of electricity. Located in rural Nebraska, the facility is not in close proximity to densely populated areas, reducing local air quality impacts. However, diesel engines can emit particulate matter and other pollutants, which are regulated under the Clean Air Act. Typical small diesel generators operate with lower efficiency than larger combined-cycle plants.
