What makes these pages different

Incumbents publish datasets, maps and PDFs — not pages. Climate TRACE's facilities live only as map markers; WRI is a CSV; Global Energy Monitor is a wiki. PowerAtlas turns the same open data into a clean indexable page per plant and per company, adds the things nobody aggregates — owner fleet footprints, dirtiest-plant rankings, human-scale CO₂ equivalents and fuel-specific climate context — each figure linked to its public source.

Inzonex modular removable insulation on industrial hot equipment

The heat your power plant wastes is fuel burned for nothing

A large share of a plant's losses escapes through uninsulated boilers, turbines, valves and steam lines. Inzonex modular insulation is removable, reusable insulation built to stop exactly that surface loss.

Up to 96% less heat loss from hot equipment
Surface temperature down to ≤45°C — safer to work around
6× faster maintenance access vs standard insulation jackets and metal cladding/boxes
Payback typically under 2 years — some sites in 9–11 months
