Dangjin Power Station (Korean: 당진화력발전소; Hanja: 唐津火力發電所) is a large coal-fired power station in Dangjin, South Korea, owned by Korea East-West Power, part of Korea Electric Power Corporation.[1]
Third largest in the world[2] the plant is estimated to have been the coal-fired power plant which emitted the third most carbon dioxide in 2018, at 34 million tons, and relative emissions are estimated at 1.5 kg per kWh.[3] The government asked the company to voluntary cut coal-fired generation in 2021, which they did.[4] Waste water is used for fish farming.[5]
