Ravenna CCS power plant is a 500 MW gas power station in Pavia, Italy. It ranks #66 of 489 Italy power plants by installed capacity. Its annual emissions of 43,614 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS verified (EUTL 2023)) are equivalent to about 10k cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 47.2% of Italy's electricity; the national grid averages 285 gCO₂/kWh (48.8% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
At 500 MW, Ravenna CCS power plant is well above the median gas plant in Italy (324 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG). Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.
