WasteIndianaUnited States of AmericaCO₂ reported

Twin Bridges LFGTE is a 13 MW waste power plant in Indiana, United States of America. It is operated by Wabash Valley Power Assn Inc. Based on reported annual generation of 78 GWh, it can supply roughly 22,400 homes. It ranks #4297 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2004, it is around 22 years old — relatively modern. Its measured emissions of 18,598 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 4,335 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This waste plant recovers energy by combusting municipal or industrial waste. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 39.7°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 20% 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: 61/100 — 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.
