Kamila sees the project as an example of how operators can adapt existing infrastructure to meet changing energy requirements.“ Coal-to-biomass conversion of existing CFB boilers is a potential decarbonization pathway that extends plant life, reduces CO₂ emissions, preserves district heating infrastructure, and typically requires lower CAPEX than building new generation assets,” Kamila comments.
Sebastian sees the same opportunity nationwide.“ Poland is a country with one of the largest district heating networks, and many of its generation assets are relatively new. However, a large share of them still rely on hard coal, which creates significant potential for modernization and a gradual move away from fossil fuels,” he concludes. ■
