GUJARAT REFINERY

Gas power plant in Gujarat, India. Approximate location 22.3704, 73.12.

GasGujaratIndiaCO₂ reported

GUJARAT REFINERY is a 234 MW gas power station in Gujarat, India. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 263,888 homes (estimated). It ranks #400 of 1,908 India power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 281,060 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 65,515 cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 2.3% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a hot semi-arid steppe climate (Köppen BSh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 22.4°N — 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.

A gas turbine here also runs ~9% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).
