Pingguo Aluminum power station - 90 MW Coal Power Plant in Guangxi, China

Pingguo Aluminum power station is a coal-fired power plant located in Guangxi, China, with a capacity of 90 MW. Owned by Aluminum Corporation of China (CHALCO), the facility is operational and serves the energy needs of the local aluminum industry. The plant operates on coal, a fuel source with significant CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions. In China, coal power plants are subject to national emission standards under the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan, which mandates desulfurization, denitrification, and particulate control technologies. The 90 MW capacity places it in the small-to-medium scale range for Chinese coal plants. As a captive power station for aluminum production, Pingguo Aluminum power station plays a critical role in ensuring reliable electricity supply for industrial processes. Its proximity to industrial facilities reduces transmission losses but also raises considerations for local air quality management.

The plant's coal combustion generates CO2, SOx, and NOx, contributing to regional air quality concerns. Guangxi's mountainous terrain and humid climate can exacerbate pollutant dispersion challenges. The facility's location near industrial areas may increase local exposure to emissions, though modern pollution controls are expected under Chinese regulations.
