Anori

Gas power plant in Amazonas, Brazil. Approximate location -3.7068, -61.6518.

GasAmazonasBrazil

Anori is a 3 MW gas power plant in Amazonas, Brazil. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 3,040 homes (estimated). It ranks #1924 of 2,549 Brazil power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1985, it is around 41 years old — long-established. In context, gas supplies about 7.3% of Brazil's electricity; the national grid averages 110 gCO₂/kWh (88.7% low-carbon) (2025).

~4,257 t CO₂/yr (estimated) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

992passenger cars driven for a year
555homes' yearly energy use
70,956tree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 45% load factor × a typical gas emission factor (~400 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

Local climate & thermal context

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen Af) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 3.7°S — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 100% below the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.

Climate heat-demand index: 13/100 — this site sits in the bottom third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.

In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.

A gas turbine here also runs ~8% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).
