CoalPunjabPakistan

Muzaffargarh Sugar Mill is a 120 MW coal power station in Punjab, Pakistan. It is operated by Fatima Group. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 150,171 homes (estimated). It ranks #36 of 62 Pakistan power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2017, it is around 9 years old — relatively modern. In context, coal supplies about 14.8% of Pakistan's electricity; the national grid averages 347 gCO₂/kWh (54.9% low-carbon) (2025).

~525,600 t CO₂/yr (estimated) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

122,517passenger cars driven for a year
68,545homes' yearly energy use
8,760,000tree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 50% load factor × a typical coal emission factor (~1000 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

Local climate & thermal context

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — 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 86% 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: 19/100 — this site sits in the bottom 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.
