Henan Gushi (Everbright) power station is a 16 MW biomass power plant in Anhui Sheng, China. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 22,025 homes (estimated). It ranks #4852 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. In context, biomass supplies about 2.0% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

This biomass plant burns organic material (wood, residues) to raise steam for a turbine. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 32.2°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 25% 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: 40/100 — 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.
