Coal

The Longhua Baicheng power station is a significant coal-fired power generation facility located in China, boasting a capacity of 400 MW. Operated by Guodian Longhua Power Co Ltd and commissioned in 2011, this power plant plays a critical role in supporting the energy demands of the region. Utilizing advanced coal combustion technology, the Longhua Baicheng power station effectively generates electricity by burning coal to produce steam, which drives turbines to convert thermal energy into electrical power. The facility is situated at coordinates 45.6331° N latitude and 122.8798° E longitude, placing it in a region that is integral to China’s northeastern energy landscape. This area has a strong industrial base that relies heavily on stable electricity supply for manufacturing and other operations. As part of China's energy strategy, the Longhua Baicheng power station contributes to the national grid, ensuring energy security while addressing the challenges associated with coal-based energy production, including emissions and environmental concerns. The plant’s operational capacity is particularly important for meeting the energy needs of local communities and industries, reinforcing its significance in the regional energy mix. While the Chinese government pushes for more sustainable energy solutions, coal-fired plants like Longhua Baicheng continue to be essential components of the energy landscape, providing critical support during the transition to a more diversified energy portfolio.
