Are they just unusually dirty? It really stands out at a global-level, which is pretty "impressive".

- Havoc 6y agoI think it's a combination. Even by global standards these ones are very big plants and concentrated in a fairly small area. There are handful of other plants there too that I don't recall. Dirty - yeah that too unfortunately. The plants tend to use worse grade coal (good stuff gets exported) and aside from Kusile they run without SO2 scrubbers, which is quite sketchy given the coal grade. Though this is a NO2 map so unsure how that translates. It's all a bit of a mess frankly
