Liuzhi Inferior Coal power station is a 15 MW coal power plant in Guizhou Sheng, China. It ranks #5750 of 6,685 China power plants by installed capacity. Its modelled annual emissions are 67,641 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 16k 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).

In context: how this plant compares
At 15 MW, Liuzhi Inferior Coal power station is below the median coal plant in China (700 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. Its current lifecycle status is “Shelved” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.
