Description
By applying for the project "Seawater heat pump system - VIKTOR LENAC d.d." (VLEN), the implementation of the seawater intake and the improvement of the central heating system by the installation of a SWHP within the Stara Martinšćica zone as a unique technological unit of VLEN is envisaged.
The PROBLEM that the project wants to solve is the fact that the existing heat pump that draws heat energy from process water, due to the high cost of concession fee for process water, is not financially viable or adequately energy efficient compared to seawater heat pumps.
Accordingly, the OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT is to improve the central heating system by installing a seawater intake as well as SWHP to supplement the heating system of the Stara Martinšćica zone (TOST 2) which would achieve additional use of renewable energy sources, reduce electricity consumption and consequently reduce CO2 emissions. Also, the implementation of the project will strengthen the capacity to manage and promote renewable energy sources.
The target groups that will be covered by the project activities are:
DIRECT TARGET GROUPS
- Shipyards at national level as potential future beneficiaries of the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism;
- Other potential future beneficiaries at local and regional level (small, medium and large enterprises);
- Population of the Municipality of Kostrena and the City of Rijeka - the general public (persons ranging from 18 to 65 years of age).
INDIRECT TARGET GROUPS
- Ministry of the Economy;
- Units of local and regional self-government;
- Media.
