POET Biorefining - Leipsic LLC Gas Power Plant | Leipsic, Ohio, United States

POET Biorefining - Leipsic LLC is a gas-fired power generation facility located in Leipsic, Ohio, United States. With a capacity of 3.5 MW, it is a small-scale plant within the US power generation sector, typically serving local industrial or community needs. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). As a gas-fired facility, it benefits from lower emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) compared to coal plants, though it still falls under applicable emission limits and monitoring requirements. This facility is part of POET's biorefining operations, likely providing power for on-site processes or local grid support. Its small capacity and gas fuel type contribute to a relatively lower environmental footprint, while its operational status ensures continued contribution to regional energy supply.

The plant is situated in Leipsic, Ohio, a rural area in Putnam County. Gas-fired power generation typically produces lower CO2 emissions per MWh compared to coal, but still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. The facility's small capacity (3.5 MW) limits its local air quality impact, though it must comply with EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act. Proximity to agricultural land and small communities means emissions are dispersed, but continuous monitoring is required to ensure compliance with NAAQS.
