PetcokeWisconsinUnited States of America
Manitowoc is a 117 MW petcoke power station in Wisconsin, United States of America. It is operated by Manitowoc Public Utilities. Based on reported annual generation of 132 GWh, it can supply roughly 37,714 homes. It ranks #1769 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1984, it is around 42 years old — long-established. In context, the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from reported annual generation × a typical petcoke emission factor (~1050 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

This petcoke plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 44.1°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 61% 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: 84/100 — 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.
