Overview
Dongfeng Captive power station is a 180 MW coal-fired plant in China, operated by Dongfeng Automobile Co Ltd. It supports industrial operations in the region.
Dongfeng Captive power station is a coal-fired power generation facility located in China, with coordinates 32.649900 N, 110.738300 E. The plant has a capacity of 180 MW and is owned by Dongfeng Automobile Co Ltd. It is currently operational and serves as a captive power source for industrial activities. As a coal-fired plant, Dongfeng Captive power station operates under China's national emission standards, which have become increasingly stringent in recent years. Typical coal plants in China range from subcritical to supercritical designs. The plant's capacity of 180 MW places it in the small-to-medium scale category for coal power generation in China. The plant's environmental context involves significant CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions associated with coal combustion. Its proximity to populated areas and the local industrial mix may influence its regulatory obligations. As a captive power station, it directly supports the energy needs of Dongfeng Automobile Co Ltd, contributing to the company's operational resilience and grid independence.
Environmental context
The plant's coal-fired operation results in substantial CO2 emissions and air pollutants such as SOx and NOx. Its location in China subjects it to national emission standards and potential regional air quality regulations. The 180 MW capacity indicates a moderate environmental footprint, with emissions depending on technology and pollution control equipment.
