~53,611 t CO₂/yr (estimated) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

12,497passenger cars driven for a year
6,992homes' yearly energy use
893,520tree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 45% load factor × a typical gas emission factor (~400 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

Climate zone & how it works

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a polar tundra climate (Köppen ET) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 66.4°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
