Project No NOR/IdeaLab/GREENHEAT/0006/2020
Draft “GREEN HEAT – commodities collective local decarbonization /GREEN HEAT - cooperation for local decarbonisation” (Acronym GREENHEAT) benefit from a grant of 5,710,182 pln received from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway under the EEA Funds.
Overriding objective The project is to contribute to the elimination of fossil fuel boilers in Poland, by developing effective scenarios for decarbonisation of household heating systems.
Specific objectives:
1) carry out a pilot project in the selected Legion district and develop a dedicated business model taking into account the requirements of specific technological solutions and identify potential investors as well as potential funding sources to effectively support the elimination of fossil fuels boilers;
2) developing a methodology ready to be used in the future for subsequent cities in Poland based on experience gained during the pilot project (in particular analysis of the business model);
Together we work for Europe green, competitive
and fostering social inclusion
The project addresses the issue of the elimination of fossil fuels boilers in an interdisciplinary way, while treating the attempt to change the heating system as a potential opportunity to introduce a wider social change, by attempting to shift to sustainable development in energy, by stimulating the development of new business models. It is expected that the involvement of the local community and key stakeholders will result in increased civic awareness of sustainability challenges.
The project assumed that the work would take into account social, technical aspects
and economic.
Despite the fact that many Polish cities have a very well developed heating network, individual boilers are used in a huge number of houses still for heating and preparing hot water. The vast majority is based on fossil fuels, mainly coal, which causes air pollution and the emission of huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The GREENHEAT Project will develop a procedure for implementing technical solutions for the selected sample user group in Legionowo, together with a procedure for gradually removing individual fossil fuel boilers and replacing them with a technically and financially innovative alternative developed within the project.
The role of IMP PAN:
The work remaining in the field of IMP PAS focuses on the technical aspects of the proposed heating solutions. After technical analysis of selected facilities (buildings), installations and surrounding infrastructure, a variant concept of cogeneration heating equipment or elements of a larger hybrid system will be developed and optimization work will be carried out. The operational characteristics of existing heat and heat exchangers used for space heating and hot water production will be analysed. The work of individual devices will be modelled for the established operational operating points of the system (data obtained from the current measurement or historical data). Based on modeling results, optimization will be carried out and the most favourable motor parameters will be proposed. Recommendations for the operation of equipment (operational parameters-loads, operating temperature ranges, conditions of start-up and withdrawal) will be developed.
In addition, the structure of a possible local energy system based on RES will be proposed, with the indication of potential technology suppliers and the identification of a jointly developed business model of operation with local stakeholders.

EEA Funds
The EEA funds represent the contribution of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway to creating a green, competitive and inclusive Europe.
There are two general objectives: to reduce economic and social inequalities in Europe and to strengthen bilateral relations between donor countries and 15 EU countries from Central and South Europe and the Baltic Sea.
The three donor countries work closely with the EU under the European Economic Area Agreement (EEA). Donors donated €3.3 billion under subsequent funding programmes from 1994 to 2014. The EEA funds for 2014–2021 are EUR 1.55 billion.
The priorities for this period are:
1. innovation, research, education and competitiveness;
2. social inclusion, youth employment and poverty reduction;
3. environment, energy, climate change and a low carbon economy;
4. culture, civil society, good governance and fundamental rights;
5. Justice and Home Affairs.
The EEA funds are jointly financed by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, whose contribution is based on their GDP. Eligibility for funds results from compliance with the criteria set out in the EU Cohesion Fund for Member States with a gross national income per capita below 90% of the EU average.
Budget of the project: PLN 5 710 182
Financing: PLN 5 710 182
Period of implementation: 1 February 2021 – 30 April 2024
