Novel approach to the reduction of pollution from low emission sources
The novel approach is described for the reduction of pollution from coal-fired low emission sources (LES) in Krakow, Poland. Coal-based clean burning briquettes will be manufactured and sold in Poland by a new US/Polish joint venture company formed as a result of a program sponsored by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the US Agency for International Development (AID). Briquettes will be primarily distributed to the residential market; however, their potential for use in boiler houses and district heating systems will also be investigated. The key advantage of this project is that the level of pollutants (particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and hydrocarbons) currently generated from the stove burning of coal in private houses and in small hand-fed boiler houses will be reduced by approximately 70 percent. This significant air pollution reduction will take place without disrupting traffic or requiring heavy investment like other air pollution methods considered. An additional benefit to the consumer is that there is absolutely no cost or investment by home or apartment owners.
