Aichi Gamagori power station is a 50 MW biomass power plant in Aichi, Japan. It is operated by The Aichi Gamagori Biomass Power Generation LLC. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 68,828 homes (estimated). It ranks #289 of 659 Japan power plants by installed capacity. In context, biomass supplies about 5.3% of Japan's electricity; the national grid averages 477 gCO₂/kWh (32.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This biomass plant burns organic material (wood, residues) to raise steam for a turbine. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 34.8°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 33% 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: 37/100 — 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.
