EnergyWorks Corn Products Mogi

Gas power plant in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Approximate location -22.368, -46.9325.

GasSao PauloBrazilCO₂ reported

EnergyWorks Corn Products Mogi is a 31 MW gas power plant in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 34,689 homes (estimated). It ranks #529 of 2,549 Brazil power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2003, it is around 23 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 25,505 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 5,945 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).

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 humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 22.4°S — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 96% 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: 15/100 — 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 ~4% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).
