Cornerstone laid at Fortum's new combined heat and power plant in Zabrze, Poland
The new CHP plant in Zabrze is planned to start
commercial operations by the end of 2018, providing district heating to some
70,000 households in the cities of Zabrze and Bytom. It will primarily be
fuelled by refuse derived fuel (RDF) and coal but can also use biomass and a
mixture of fuels. The amount of RDF can be up to 50% of the total fuel usage.
The new plant will replace the existing purely coal-fired, outdated units in
Zabrze and Bytom.
The investment is expected to significantly improve the efficiency of operations and reduce CO2 and other emissions in the area giving good evidence to Fortum’s commitment to the circular economy concept development in Poland. It also fits well in Fortum's strategy as one the cornerstones of it is providing sustainable solutions to growing cities and urban areas.
