Petcoke power plant in Montana, United States of America. Approximate location 45.8117, -108.4278.
PetcokeMontanaUnited States of AmericaCO₂ reported
Yellowstone Energy LP is a 68 MW petcoke power plant in Montana, United States of America. It is operated by Yellowstone Energy LP. Based on reported annual generation of 460 GWh, it can supply roughly 131,342 homes. It ranks #2421 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1995, it is around 31 years old — long-established. Its measured emissions of 65,125 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 15,181 cars driven for a year. In context, the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This petcoke plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a cold semi-arid steppe climate (Köppen BSk) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 45.8°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 56% 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: 82/100 — 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.

The #6 largest petcoke power plant of 11 in United States of America by capacity.
United States of America has 11 petcoke power plants in this dataset, together about 2,362 MW of capacity.
