CoalHenan ShengChinaCO₂ reported

Hebi Fenghe power station is a 1,800 MW coal power station in Henan Sheng, China. It is operated by Hebi Fenghe Power Generation Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 2,252,571 homes (estimated). It ranks #239 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2003, it is around 23 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 5,902,200 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 1,375,804 cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 54.3% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a humid subtropical (dry winter) climate (Köppen Cwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 35.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 6% 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: 48/100 — 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.
