Description

The aim of the project is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution by replacing the use of coal at the heat and power plant in Kalisz with a cogeneration source using biomass. The project will install a new unit to replace the current coal unit, which will take a reserve function as a peak source. Three coal boilers will be eliminated as a result of the project. Biomass will largely replace the use of coal, which has been burnt so far. The following results will be achieved: 10 MWe of additional electric power installed in cogeneration (from biomass), 18 MWt of additional heat output installed in cogeneration (from biomass), 74 000 MWh of electricity production, 410 000 GJ of heat production, and a reduction of CO2 emissions amounting to [Mg] 101 237. The projected energy unit, with an electric power capacity of 10 MWe and a heat output of 18 MWt, will produce electricity and heat in cogeneration. The major benefits for society and citizens are the reduction of CO2 emissions and increased energy security of the region.
