Petcoke power plant in Ohio, United States of America. Approximate location 41.6325, -83.5042.
PetcokeOhioUnited States of America
Toledo Ref Power Recovery Train is a 6 MW petcoke power plant in Ohio, United States of America. It is operated by Toledo Refining Company. Based on reported annual generation of 4 GWh, it can supply roughly 1,028 homes. It ranks #5402 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1986, it is around 40 years old — long-established. In context, the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from reported annual generation × a typical petcoke emission factor (~1050 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

This petcoke plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a hot-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 41.6°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 36% 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: 72/100 — 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.
