Cheongju CHP plant is a 58 MW other power plant in Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea. It is operated by Korea District Heating Corp. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 43,774 homes (estimated). It ranks #134 of 204 South Korea power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 18,964 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 4,421 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 417 gCO₂/kWh (40.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a monsoon hot-summer continental climate (Köppen Dwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 36.6°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 25% above 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: 64/100 — 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.
