CoalJilin ShengChinaCO₂ reported

Huaneng Jiutai power station is a 1,340 MW coal power station in Jilin Sheng, China. It is operated by Huaneng Jilin Power Generation Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1,676,914 homes (estimated). It ranks #308 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2009, it is around 17 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 5,805,500 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 1,353,263 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 monsoon hot-summer continental climate (Köppen Dwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 44.1°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 119% above 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: 96/100 — this site sits in the top 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.
