Coal power plant in Hubei, China. Approximate location 30.2609, 111.5907.

CoalHubeiChinaCO₂ reported

Long Chen Paper Jingzhou captive power station is a 105 MW coal power station in Hubei, China. It is operated by Long Chen Paper (China) Co. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 131,400 homes (estimated). It ranks #1841 of 5,959 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2017, it is around 9 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 330,720 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 77,091 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 climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 30.3°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 37% 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: 35/100 — 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.
