Tongyeong Eco Power, based in Republic of Korea, generates electricity and heat, largely by burning fossil fuels. Climate TRACE attributes 1 high-emitting asset to it. Its largest tracked activities are electricity generation.

Burns coal, gas or oilFossil fuels are combusted in power stations to generate electricity.
Releases CO₂That combustion sends carbon dioxide straight into the atmosphere.
Traps heatExtra CO₂ thickens the greenhouse blanket, warming the planet.

How it's allowed

Signals below are derived from emissions data and ownership coverage only, not from any legal or regulatory finding.

Permitted Emissions
These emissions appear to occur under existing permits and regulations. Operating legally is not the same as operating cleanly.
Fossil-Fuel Power Generation
Attributed emissions include fossil-fuel power generation, which is among the most carbon-intensive ways to produce electricity.
Low Measurement Confidence
Measurement confidence for this entity is low; figures are best-available estimates.
No Verified Enforcement or Lobbying Record
This dataset contains no verified enforcement actions, lobbying records, subsidies, or litigation for this entity. Absence of evidence here is not evidence of compliance or of any violation.

Climate Villains makes no claim that any entity has broken any law. These are data-derived signals, not allegations.

Trend
Not enough historyn/a

Not enough history to chart a trend yet.

Not enough years of attributed data yet to judge the direction. Attributed emissions.

It ranks #1031 mainly because its attributed assets emitted about 1.5 Mt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 316k cars/yr).

The Climate Damage Score is driven by that absolute size on a log scale, with no trend adjustment applied.

What's known · what isn't

What’s known

  • Attributed emissions: 1.5 Mt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 316k cars/yr).
  • Primary sector: Power; primary country: Republic of Korea.
  • Evidence: 1 asset; ~100% ownership-attribution coverage.
  • Source: Climate TRACE (CC BY 4.0).

What isn’t

  • Exact ownership percentages: Climate TRACE lists owners but not stakes, so shared assets are split equally.
  • Indirect (supply-chain / financed / product-use) emissions are not included.
  • Only one year of attributed data is available, so the trend is not yet reliable.
  • No PR claims, lobbying records, litigation history or policy-compliance data are included.
