CSP power station — Brazil

CSP power station is a 200 MW gas power station in Ceara, Brazil. It ranks #199 of 2,572 Brazil power plants by installed capacity. Its modelled annual emissions are 388,670 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 91k cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 7.3% of Brazil's electricity; the national grid averages 110 gCO₂/kWh (88.7% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares

At 200 MW, CSP power station is well above the median gas plant in Brazil (100.2 MW). Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.
