Fighting Smog : Energy Efficiency and Anti-Smog in Single Family Buildings in Poland
The most cost-effective way to reduce both particulate and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is to couple switching from noncompliant solid fuel boilers to gas boilers, heat pumps, renewable energy (RE) heating systems such as biomass, wherever possib...

| description |
The most cost-effective way to reduce
both particulate and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is to
couple switching from noncompliant solid fuel boilers to gas
boilers, heat pumps, renewable energy (RE) heating systems
such as biomass, wherever possible, and compliant solid fuel
boilers, as mandated in the anti-smog resolutions, with
thermal retrofits of the single family building (SFB).
Anti-smog resolutions and enforcement are key to create
market demand for boiler replacement and fuel switching, and
solid fuel quality standards are essential to reduce air
pollution. For the eligible poor SFBs, the government can
provide 90-100 percent of subsidies for boiler replacement,
fuel switching, and thermal retrofits, channeled through
municipalities. For the non-poor SFBs, the government can
provide 20 percent subsidy for fuel switching to gas, heat
pumps, and RE systems and thermal retrofit, together with
tax incentives, channeled through commercial banks who will
provide loans for the remaining investment. The anti-smog
and energy efficiency are long-term efforts, and the
required subsidies can be programmed over a 10-year time
period. It is essential to coordinate the use of public
funds from the government and European Union (EU) at both
the national and regional levels, and it is recommended that
a national fund for anti-smog and energy efficiency be
established to pool various funding resources. Finally,
technical assistance, capacity building, and public
education and awareness campaigns are critical to the
success of the anti-smog and energy efficiency program. |
