Połaniec Zielony Blok is a 205 MW biomass power station in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland. It is operated by Enea Połaniec S.A.. Based on reported annual generation of 1,292 GWh, it can supply roughly 369,171 homes. It ranks #37 of 197 Poland power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2012, it is around 14 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 5,365,000 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 1,250,583 cars driven for a year. In context, biomass supplies about 4.9% of Poland's electricity; the national grid averages 589 gCO₂/kWh (31.5% low-carbon) (2025).

This biomass plant burns organic material (wood, residues) to raise steam for a turbine. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 50.4°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 43% 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: 76/100 — 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.

The #1 largest biomass power plant of 3 in Poland by capacity.
Poland has 3 biomass power plants in this dataset, together about 215 MW of capacity.
