NUFRI Gas Power Plant, Spain - 10 MW Facility

NUFRI is a gas power plant located in Spain, with a capacity of 10 MW. The facility is owned and operated by SAT NUM.1596 NUFRI and is currently operational. As a small-scale gas power plant, it plays a role in the regional energy mix. The plant operates under Spain's regulatory framework, which aligns with the European Union's Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU). This directive sets emission limits for pollutants such as SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, and requires the use of Best Available Techniques (BAT) for combustion plants. The plant's gas fuel type results in lower CO2 and pollutant emissions compared to coal or oil-fired plants. NUFRI's location in Spain places it within a country that has a diverse power generation portfolio, including renewable energy sources. The plant's relatively small capacity suggests it may serve local industrial or agricultural needs, contributing to energy security in its area. Its operational status indicates ongoing contribution to the grid.

The plant uses natural gas, which produces lower CO2 emissions per MWh than coal or oil, but still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Its small capacity (10 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint. Gas plants typically have moderate local air quality impacts. The facility is subject to EU emissions standards and BAT requirements.
