Overview
CSL Behring LLC is a 4.2 MW gas power plant in the United States, owned and operated by CSL Behring LLC. The facility is operational and serves the local energy grid.
CSL Behring LLC is a gas-fired power generation facility located in the United States, with coordinates 41.160300, -87.854200. The plant has a capacity of 4.2 MW, placing it in the small-scale category for power generation. It is owned by CSL Behring LLC and is currently operational. The plant operates on natural gas, a fuel type that produces lower CO2 emissions compared to coal but still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. As a small-scale facility, it likely uses simple-cycle or combined-cycle gas turbine technology. The plant is subject to US EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act, including New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). This facility plays a role in providing local power generation, potentially supporting industrial operations or grid stability in the region. Its small capacity suggests it may serve as a peaking plant or backup power source. The plant's environmental impact is relatively modest due to its size and fuel type, but it still contributes to regional air quality considerations.
Environmental context
The plant's gas fuel type results in lower SOx and NOx emissions compared to coal, but CO2 emissions are still a concern. Its small capacity (4.2 MW) limits overall environmental footprint. Typical gas plants in the US operate under EPA air quality standards. The facility's age and technology are not detailed, but modern gas plants often achieve higher efficiency and lower emissions.
Frequently asked questions
CSL Behring LLC is located in the United States at coordinates 41.160300, -87.854200.
CSL Behring LLC is a gas power plant with a capacity of 4.2 MW, using natural gas as its primary fuel.
CSL Behring LLC is owned by CSL Behring LLC.
Gas power plants in the US must comply with the Clean Air Act, including New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for emissions of SO2, NOx, and particulate matter, as well as National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).
Small gas power plants typically have capacities below 50 MW, with CSL Behring LLC's 4.2 MW falling well within this range. Such plants often serve as peaking units or backup power sources.
