OtherLimburgNetherlandsCO₂ reported
Claus power station is a 1,304 MW other power station in Limburg, Netherlands. It is operated by RWE Generation NL BV. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 979,117 homes (estimated). It ranks #4 of 106 Netherlands power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 1,965,610 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 458,184 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 254 gCO₂/kWh (54.2% low-carbon) (2025).

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 51.2°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 17% 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: 59/100 — 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.
