Suape CGDe Koblitz Energia Ltda. - Gas Power Plant in Suape, Brazil

Suape CGDe Koblitz Energia Ltda. is a gas-fired power plant situated in the Suape industrial port complex in Pernambuco, Brazil. With a capacity of 4 MW, it is a small-scale facility within the Brazilian power generation sector, which relies heavily on hydroelectricity but increasingly incorporates natural gas for grid stability and peak demand. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental and energy regulations, including licensing by the state environmental agency (CPRH) and compliance with CONAMA resolutions for air emissions. As a gas-fired plant, it utilizes combined cycle or simple cycle technology typical for small to medium installations, offering lower CO2 emissions compared to coal or oil alternatives. Located in a major industrial hub, Suape CGDe Koblitz Energia Ltda. supports local industrial energy needs and contributes to the diversification of the regional energy mix. Its small capacity allows for flexible operation, potentially serving as a peaking plant or providing backup power to the grid.

The plant's gas fuel type results in lower CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions compared to coal or oil plants, aligning with Brazil's commitments under the Paris Agreement. Its location in an industrial port area may have moderate local air quality impacts, but proximity to populated areas is limited. The small capacity reduces overall environmental footprint.
