In context: how this plant compares

At 43 MW, MCM HQ Energy Center power station is below the median other plant in Japan (122.4 MW). Technically it is described as Steam. Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. This facility converts its energy source into electricity for the grid; its capacity, fuel type and location determine its role in the national power mix.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

~242,900 t CO₂/yr (modelled) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

57kpassenger cars driven for a year
32khomes' yearly energy use
4.0 milliontree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies; modelled emissions from Climate TRACE.
