Overview
Jiangsu Jingshen Salt power station is a 60 MW coal-fired plant in Jiangsu, China, operated by Jiangsu Jingshen Salt Industry Co Ltd. It is currently operational.
Jiangsu Jingshen Salt power station is a coal-fired power generation facility located in Jiangsu Province, China. With a capacity of 60 MW, it falls into the small-scale category for coal power plants in the region. The plant is owned and operated by Jiangsu Jingshen Salt Industry Co Ltd. The facility uses coal as its primary fuel, a common choice for power generation in China. While specific technical details such as boiler type or emission control systems are not disclosed, coal plants in China typically operate under national emission standards, including limits on SO2, NOx, and particulate matter. The plant's relatively small capacity suggests it may serve local industrial or community needs. As a coal-fired plant, Jiangsu Jingshen Salt power station contributes to the regional power grid but also has environmental implications due to CO2 and other emissions. Its location in Jiangsu, a densely populated and industrialized province, underscores the importance of regulatory compliance with Chinese environmental laws. The plant's operational status indicates it continues to play a role in local energy supply.
Environmental context
Coal-fired power generation is a significant source of CO2, SO2, NOx, and particulate emissions. The plant's 60 MW capacity, while small, still contributes to local air quality concerns, especially given Jiangsu's high population density and industrial activity. Proximity to populated areas may increase exposure to pollutants. Chinese regulations, such as the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan, set emission limits for coal plants, and older subcritical units may face higher environmental risks compared to modern supercritical or CCGT technologies.
Frequently asked questions
Jiangsu Jingshen Salt power station is located in Jiangsu Province, China, at coordinates 33.5214 N, 119.1132 E.
The plant has a capacity of 60 megawatts (MW), making it a small-scale coal-fired power station.
The plant is owned by Jiangsu Jingshen Salt Industry Co Ltd.
Coal power plants in China must comply with national emission standards for SO2, NOx, and particulate matter, as well as the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan. Newer plants may also need to meet stricter limits under the 13th Five-Year Plan.
Chinese coal plants range from older subcritical units to more efficient supercritical and ultra-supercritical technologies. Smaller plants like this one may use subcritical boilers, which have lower efficiency and higher emissions per MWh.
