OtherEspirito SantoBrazilCO₂ reported

CST power station is a 306 MW other power station in Espirito Santo, Brazil. It is operated by ArcelorMittal Brasil SA. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 229,762 homes (estimated). It ranks #101 of 2,549 Brazil power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 1,676,600 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 390,816 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 110 gCO₂/kWh (88.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 20.2°S — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

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