OilSisacko-MoslavackaCroatia

Sisak Thermal Power Plant Croatia is a 420 MW oil power station in Sisacko-Moslavacka, Croatia. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 315,360 homes (estimated). It ranks #2 of 24 Croatia power plants by installed capacity. In context, oil supplies about 0.0% of Croatia's electricity; the national grid averages 158 gCO₂/kWh (76.3% low-carbon) (2025).

~827,820 t CO₂/yr (estimated) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

192,965passenger cars driven for a year
107,958homes' yearly energy use
13,797,000tree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 30% load factor × a typical oil emission factor (~750 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 oil plant burns oil or diesel to drive turbines or reciprocating engines. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 45.5°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 10% 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: 54/100 — this site sits in the mid 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.
