FERTIMOLINA Gas Power Plant, Spain | 10 MW Facility

FERTIMOLINA is a gas power plant located in Spain, with coordinates 40.8436° N, -1.8876° W. The facility has a capacity of 10 MW and is owned and operated by FERTIMOLINA S.A. It is currently operational, playing a role in Spain's power generation mix. The plant operates on natural gas, a fuel that offers lower emissions compared to coal but still contributes to CO2 output. As a relatively small-scale facility, it likely uses internal combustion engines or gas turbines typical for such capacity. Spain's power sector is regulated under EU directives, including the Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU), which sets emission limits for NOx, SOx, and particulates. The plant must comply with Best Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions for large combustion plants. FERTIMOLINA's location in central Spain places it within a region with moderate population density. The plant's small capacity suggests it may serve local industrial or community needs, potentially providing grid stability or supporting nearby industrial processes. Its environmental footprint is relatively modest compared to larger gas plants, but it still contributes to regional air quality considerations.

The plant's gas fuel type results in lower CO2 emissions per MWh compared to coal, but still produces NOx and CO2. Its 10 MW capacity indicates a relatively small environmental footprint. Located in central Spain, the facility operates in a region with moderate air quality concerns, subject to EU emission standards under the Industrial Emissions Directive. Typical gas plants of this scale use efficient combustion engines.
