Waste power plant in Catalonia, Spain. Approximate location 41.5485, 0.8245.

WasteCataloniaSpainCO₂ reported

ADS JUNEDA 2 is a 15 MW waste power plant in Catalonia, Spain. It is operated by VALORITZACIONS AGRORAMADERES LES GARRIGUES S.L.. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 20,648 homes (estimated). It ranks #617 of 872 Spain power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2004, it is around 22 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 15,787 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 3,680 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 154 gCO₂/kWh (74.6% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This waste plant recovers energy by combusting municipal or industrial waste. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 41.5°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 13% 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: 45/100 — this site sits in the mid 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.
