Dangjin Combined Cycle power station

Dangjin Combined Cycle power station is a 2,406 MW other power station in Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea. It is operated by GS EPS Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,806,562 homes (estimated). It ranks #14 of 204 South Korea power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 3,255,100 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 758,765 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 417 gCO₂/kWh (40.0% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This other plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 37.0°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 18% 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.

Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
