ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT

The ENERGOBALTIC project allows the elimination of the traditional sources of heat (coal-fired or heating oil boiler houses) and their replacement with a new centralised and ecologically clean source of heat, fed with waste gas from the offshore oil wells.
This investment has made it possible to shut down about 120 coal/oil-fired boilers and boiler houses of a total power of 18 MWt and to supply ca. 76 000 MWh of electricity to the national power network per year. Among the liquidated boiler houses ca. 90% are coal-fired boiler houses. Others are oil boiler houses whose operation costs are much too high for their owners. It was necessary to build a district heating system in order to connect recipients. This system was built with the help of pre-lagged technology in conformity with the latest technology in this field.
The significant ecological effect is obtained also due to production of electricity and propane-butane.

The planned operation of heat and power generating plant shall enable utilisation of 100.000 m3 of gas per day which was unproductively flared, and therefore shall eliminate use of ca. 75.000 tons of coal per year! (ca. 2 thousand train cars)

Production of electricity - elimination of use of 36.000 tons of coal per year
Production of heat - elimination of use of 7.000 tons of coal per year
Production of propane-butane - elimination of use of 32.000 tons of coal per year

Apart from a significant improvement to the cleanness of the air, the planned ecological effect consists in limiting the use of coal, eliminating the inconvenience connected with rail and road transport of coal, also its handling and storage and at the same time reducing the amount of solid waste produced whilst burning the coal.
The proposed solution meets the latest trends in world power engineering and has the lowest ecological costs amongst the accessible power engineering solutions. It is also in accordance with the Polish power engineering law, which takes into account the recommendations of the European Economic Commission, the Second Sulphur Protocol and the Framework Convention of the United Nations (concerning the changes of climate).

Target ecological effects of the Project:

The completion of the construction of the Władysławowo Combined Heat and Power Generating Plant finally results in:
- Reducing discharged pollutants from local boilers and CHP plant down to 134,761 tons/year;
- A decrease of solid waste as a result of replacing solid fuel (coal) with gas.
