Overview
CINAL/TRIKEM is a 3.2 MW gas power plant located in Brazil. It operates as a small-scale facility contributing to local power generation.
CINAL/TRIKEM is a gas-fired power plant located in Brazil, with coordinates near the state of Alagoas. With a capacity of 3.1875 MW, it is classified as a small-scale power generation facility within the Brazilian energy sector. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental and energy regulations, which include standards for emissions and operational licensing. Gas power plants in Brazil typically use natural gas or biogas, and this facility's small capacity suggests it may serve local industrial or community needs rather than the national grid. As a small gas plant, CINAL/TRIKEM has a relatively low environmental footprint compared to larger fossil fuel facilities. Its role in the local energy mix supports grid stability and provides power to nearby areas, contributing to Brazil's diversified energy portfolio.
Environmental context
The plant uses gas as fuel, which produces lower CO2 emissions per MWh compared to coal or oil. Its small capacity limits overall emissions. The facility's location in a region with moderate population density means local air quality impacts are minimal. Brazil's regulatory framework includes emission standards for NOx and SOx, which this plant must comply with.
