Overview
Hongyang Lianyungang power station is a 120 MW coal-fired power plant in Lianyungang, China, operated by Shenghong Sinopec (Lianyungang) Co Ltd. It contributes to the regional power grid.
Hongyang Lianyungang power station is a coal-fired power plant located in Lianyungang, China. With a capacity of 120 MW, it is a medium-scale facility within the Chinese power generation sector. The plant is owned and operated by Shenghong Sinopec (Lianyungang) Co Ltd and is currently operational. The plant utilizes coal as its primary fuel, a common energy source in China's power generation mix. Coal plants of this scale typically employ subcritical or supercritical boiler technology. The facility operates under China's national emission standards, which regulate SOx, NOx, and particulate matter emissions, aligning with the country's efforts to balance energy demand with environmental protection. As a coal-fired power station, Hongyang Lianyungang plays a role in meeting local electricity demand but also contributes to CO2 and other emissions. Its location in an industrial area near Lianyungang port may influence local air quality. The plant's operational status and capacity underscore its significance in supporting regional industrial and residential power needs.
Environmental context
The plant's coal fuel source results in a significant CO2 footprint and emissions of SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. Its location in Lianyungang, a coastal city with industrial activity, may affect local air quality. Older coal plants typically have higher emission intensities. Proximity to populated areas could increase exposure to pollutants.
Frequently asked questions
Hongyang Lianyungang power station is located in Lianyungang, China, at coordinates 34.5515 N, 119.5797 E.
The plant has a capacity of 120 megawatts (MW), making it a medium-scale coal-fired power station.
The plant is owned by Shenghong Sinopec (Lianyungang) Co Ltd.
Coal power plants in China must comply with national emission standards for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, as well as carbon intensity targets under the country's climate commitments.
Coal power generation produces CO2, a greenhouse gas, along with SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, which can affect air quality and contribute to acid rain. Modern pollution control technologies can reduce these emissions.
