Deux-Acren TJ is a 19 MW oil power plant in Wallonia, Belgium. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 13,965 homes (estimated). It ranks #51 of 75 Belgium power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 11,197 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 2,610 cars driven for a year. In context, oil supplies about 6.4% of Belgium's electricity; the national grid averages 150 gCO₂/kWh (72.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This oil plant burns oil or diesel to drive turbines or reciprocating engines. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 50.7°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 19% 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: 60/100 — 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.
