Overview
Jinzhou Datang power station is a 600 MW coal-fired power plant in Jinzhou, China. It is operational and owned by Jinzhou Datang Power Station.
Jinzhou Datang power station is a coal-fired power plant located in Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, China. With a capacity of 600 MW, it falls into the medium-to-large scale range for coal power plants in China. The plant is currently operational and owned by Jinzhou Datang Power Station. Coal power plants in China are subject to national emission standards under the Environmental Protection Law and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan. The plant likely uses subcritical or supercritical technology, typical for units of this vintage and size. China has been progressively tightening emission limits for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, requiring existing plants to install flue gas desulfurization and selective catalytic reduction systems. The plant contributes to the regional power grid serving Jinzhou and surrounding areas. As a coal-fired facility, it has a significant carbon footprint and local air quality impacts. Its proximity to urban areas may necessitate additional environmental controls to meet local air quality standards.
Environmental context
The plant's coal combustion releases CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. Its location in Jinzhou, a city in Liaoning Province, places it in a region with industrial activity and urban populations. The plant's age and technology (likely subcritical or supercritical) influence its efficiency and emission intensity. China's regulatory framework requires compliance with national emission standards, and the plant may have installed pollution control equipment to meet these requirements.
Frequently asked questions
