Description

The project in question involves the construction of a 12.5 MW biomass boiler and will contribute to the increase production of system heat from renewable energy sources, thus in line with the environmental goals set out in Polish and European strategic documents. The implementation of the project will allow for:

• reducing the emission of pollutants into the air, such as: CO2, NOx, SO2, CO and dust,

• production of heat energy from renewable energy sources and its supply to the municipal network,

• replacing the production of thermal energy from coal with heat from biomass, • improvement of local energy security,

• avoiding investments in coal heat sources,

• lowering the fees for CO2 emissions,

• achieving the status of an effective heating system.
