In context: how this plant compares

At 16 MW, Lins power station is around the median biomass plant in Brazil (15 MW). Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Biomass plants burn organic material such as wood, residues or waste-derived fuel to raise steam; they are dispatchable and counted as low-carbon where the feedstock is sustainably sourced.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
