In context: how this plant compares

At 349 MW, Harry D Mattison Gas Plant is well above the median gas plant in United States of America (121.2 MW). Technically it is described as OCGT. Its current lifecycle status is “Mothballed” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.

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

120,648 t CO₂/yr — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

28kpassenger cars driven for a year
16khomes' yearly energy use
2.0 milliontree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

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