CoalHeilongjiang ShengChinaunknownCO₂ modelled

Tieli Yuxiang Cogen power station is a 56 MW coal power plant in Heilongjiang Sheng, China. It is operated by Tieli Yuxiang Thermal Power Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 70k homes (estimated). It ranks #3098 of 6,685 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2020, it is around 6 years old — recently built. Its modelled annual emissions are 252,550 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 59k cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 54.3% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares

At 56 MW, Tieli Yuxiang Cogen power station is below the median coal plant in China (700 MW). Technically it is described as unknown. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.

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

~252,550 t CO₂/yr (modelled) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

59kpassenger cars driven for a year
33khomes' yearly energy use
4.2 milliontree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

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

Local climate & thermal context

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a monsoon warm-summer continental climate (Köppen Dwb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 47.0°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 141% 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: 98/100 — this site sits in the top third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.

Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.

Site climate & environmental severity

For a plant’s outdoor hardware — heat-recovery steam generators (HRSG), expansion joints, valves, flanges and their insulation — the local climate sets how fast unprotected steel and coatings degrade. This site sits in a benign, low-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C1 — Very low), with thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.

Higher environmental severity is exactly where protective removable insulation pays back most: a sheltered micro-climate slows corrosion, UV and thermal-cycling damage and extends outdoor hardware service life. This is an indicative site-climate context — not a condition assessment of any specific plant or operator.

Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
