~744,600 t CO₂/yr (estimated) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

173,566passenger cars driven for a year
97,105homes' yearly energy use
12,410,000tree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 50% load factor × a typical coal emission factor (~1000 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

Climate zone & how it works

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 56.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
