In context: how this plant compares

At 800 MW, Detmarovice power station is well above the median coal plant in Czech Republic (165 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. Its current lifecycle status is “Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

754,070 t CO₂/yr — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

4.2krailcars of coal burned
176kgasoline cars driven for a year
754kacres of US forest absorbing CO₂ for a year
3.5%of the CO₂ from all Czech Republic power plants with an emissions figure in PowerAtlas

Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies; emissions per EU ETS verified (EUTL 2023) (measured for US EPA/EU ETS, modelled for Climate TRACE).
