General description:
|
The project concerns the modernization of heat supply system in the town of Byczyna located in the
south-western part of Poland. The area which is subject of this project covers mainly the Old Town
center and one of residential quarters which were supplied by 16 coal-fired boilers. The
modernization consists in application of 15 modern gas-fired boilers instead of existing coal - and
coke fired boilers.
Implementation of the project involves:
The dismantling of 15 current coal-fired boiler houses;
Liquidation of one coal-fired boiler house;
The construction of a gas distribution system;
The installation of new modern gas-fired boilers in 15 boiler houses;
The construction of a small network of heat distribution connecting new boiler houses with groups
of heating buildings;
The optimisation of heat distribution network.
Training component:
Several additional activities like knowledge transfer on gas-fired boiler technology and energy
efficiency are included in the project. There are:
Seminar on AIJ/JI and Byczyna project, attended by decision makers;
Seminar on technical aspects of Byczyna project attended by technical staff;
Energy efficiency training for Byczyna teachers and students;
TV interview;
Article.

Stage of activity:b)
|
Mutually agreed / in progress / completed.
The project started in 1998 and is divided into two stages. At first stage (realization in 1998) 10
boiler houses were the subject of modernization (including one boiler house was liquidated, users
were connected to the other modernised boiler house). At second stage (realization in 1999)
remaining 6 boiler houses were modernized, where already nine modern gas-fired boilers were
installed. The boilers were started-up at the end of September and began the operation in the
middle of October. Their reduced emissions in 1999 concerned a period of 76 days in autumn season,
which was 40% of 1999 boilers operation time.
Realisation of project was conducted according to the schedule for 1999. This implicates that there
have been no changes in project conditions, compared to the situation as described in the baseline
and first monitoring report. The only change in the technical realisation was the final destination
of a boiler type GAS 3000 ECO/9. This boiler was mounted in another building instead of the
originally selected building. As the size and thermal quality of this replacing building is
comparable to the originally selected, this change do not affect the emission levels in baseline
and monitoring reports.
Two monitoring studies were conducted in 1998 and 1999. The data concerning monitoring 2000 have
been transferred by Opole District Heating Energy Enterprise.
Training component was realised in 1999.

|
Describe (to the extent possible) how the activity is compatible with and supportive of national
economic development and socio-economic and environment priorities and strategies
|
|
Poland seeks energy security through stable energy deliveries at socially acceptable prices and
with a minimal damage to the environment. Among the priority actions are to diversify the primary
energy supplies and to comply with international environmental agreements to reduce air pollution
and greenhouse gas emissions. This project is designed to be fully-integrated and consistent with
the goals and development strategies of Poland.
AIR PROTECTION
This is based on:
the "Implementation Program of the National Environmental Policy till the year to 2000",
voivodeship lists of priority projects regarding environmental protection for 1998,
The aim of the undertakings concerning the air pollution control is to achieve reductions of
pollutant emissions into the atmospheric air by: improving the fuel quality parameters and
replacing fuel, by installing equipment that reduces the flue gas emissions of pollutants, by
modernising and replacing technologies and by conserving energy.
A. Directions:
Support for the undertakings leading to reductions of the emissions into the atmospheric air of gas
and particulate pollutants, by means of the modernisation and upgrading of the fuel production and
burning technologies.
Support for the undertakings related to the rationalisation of heat systems, including the recovery
of heat, national production of highly efficient heating equipment, combined with the use of
unconventional energy sources.
B. Programmes:
National Programme for Reduction of Sulphur Dioxide Emissions.
Programme to eliminate low emissions.
Programme to reduce nitric oxide emissions.
Reduction of the exhaust gas emissions from the means of public transport, particularly in large
urban-industrial agglomerations.
Programme for the use of alternative sources of energy.

Describe environmental benefits in detail:
|
The total 1999 annual emission of greenhouse gases was 47.3% lower then baseline in terms of
CO2 equivalent. For the individual GHG gases the reduction ranges from 46.4%
(CO2) to 78.4% (CH4).
Instead in 2000, when already all new boiler- houses have been operating, reductions in emissions
of relevant greenhouse gases expressed in percents were following: 79,6% - CO2, 99,6% -
CH4, 98,3% - N2O
In the case of Byczyna project the reductions of non-GHG pollutants (dust, SO2) are
considerable and the environmental benefits at this side are very important. Dispersion modelling
calculations show how the air quality in Byczyna will get better after the project completion.
Reduction of SO2, NO2 and dust annual emissions (99.92%, 88,26% and 99.97%
respectively, comparing with baseline) caused lower long-term concentration of these pollutants in
air as well as lower dust deposition, which was estimated by air dispersion modelling.
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of environmental benefits?
|
Yes – monitoring reports in 1998 and 1999 and emissions data from ECO S.A.
|
|
Describe social/cultural benefits in detail:
|
Substantial improvement of the environmental conditions in the city and thereby improving both the
living conditions and tourist value of the old town
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of social benefits?
|
No
|
|
Describe economic benefits in detail:
|
Air emission is a subject for environmental fee and individual rates for pollutants (groups of
pollutants) are set every year. The fee system includes several exemptions like schools, hospitals
etc. Fuel change project in Byczyna caused significant reduction of atmospheric pollution and the
total fee paid for emission coming form "project" boiler houses was also reduced.
The estimated difference (cost reduction) between baseline and 1999 environmental fee is at the
level of 20,000 PLN per year, so environmental fees can be treated as economic aspect that
influences total operational costs of heat production.
ECO S.A. estimates that operational costs of heat production in gas boiler houses decreased
comparing with coal firing, however the detailed evaluation of operational costs is still ahead.
|
|
Do quantitative data exist for evaluation of economic benefits?
|
Yes – monitoring report in 1999.

Description of the baseline or reference scenario, including methodologies applied:
BASELINE STUDY ABSTRACT
The baseline study evaluates the starting point in pilot Joint Implementation project titled
„Reduction of atmospheric pollution through modernisation of heat supply system in the town of
Byczyna". Modernisation consists in application of modern gas-fired boilers instead of existing coal-
and coke fired boilers.
The starting point was existing state evaluated for 1997. Below the results of baseline study are presented
as well as description of methodology.
Results of baseline study
Total number of boiler houses covered by the project is 16. This includes:
- 3 boiler houses for heat and hot water supply;
- other boiler houses for heat supply.
Total number of boilers covered by the project is 27. This includes:
- 2 boilers with mechanical stoker and forced draught;
- other boilers with hand-fired grate and chimney draught.
Total installed power of boiler houses covered by the project amounts to 4.43 MW:
- 1 boiler house is of 1,8 MW power;
- 6 boiler houses are of power 0,21 ¸ 0,4 MW;
- 9 boiler houses are of power 0,025 ¸ 0,2 MW.
Total required power of boiler houses amounts to 4.11 MW.
Fuel consumption in 1997 amounted to 2569 Mg:
- 51 % is fine coal burnt in 1 boiler house – mech. Stoker;
- 42 % is fine coal and coal burnt in 13 boiler houses – hand-fired grate;
- 7 % is coke burnt in 4 boiler houses – hand-fired grate.
Calculated fuel consumption is:
- 19,2 % higher then 1997 consumption for installed power option;
- 16 % higher then 1997 consumption for required power option.
Parameters of fuel used in 1997 (not every data were available):
- calorific value 22 ¸ 29 MJ/kg;
- sulphur content 0,7 %;
- ash content 3,8 % ¸ 20 %.
Annual emission of greenhouse gases from 16 considered boiler houses amounts to:
- 6348 Mg CO2 equivalent - for 1997 fuel consumption (option I);
- 19,7 % higher for fuel calculated from installed power (option II);
- 14,3 % higher for fuel calculated from required power (option III).
Greenhouse gases emission factor for 16 considered boiler houses amounts to approximately 102 kg/GJ.

a) Methane emission from storage of coal and coke was also estimated but neglected because of low value
The other environmental aspects/impacts of considered existing 16 boiler was evaluated as follows:
- exceedings of dust deposition limit
- exceedings of 30-minutes concentration limits for sulphur dioxide and PM10
- annual amount of generated wastes (ash and slag) – approx. 500 Mg
- noise connected with the transport of fuel and wastes
Metodology
Site review
At this stage all relevant data concerning boilers and fuels as well as emitters were collected and stored
in SOZATâ Local Environmental Pollution Database (LBZS). The detailed coordinates of emitters were
derived using the digital map of Byczyna.
The above data were used then for assessment of greenhouse gases emissions as well as for assessment of
other environmental aspects.
For the purpose of baseline study additional assumptions were made:
in the case when fuel parameters were not known (mainly sulphur content, partly also ash content and
calorific value) the values were assumed basing on current practice of environmental fees calculation in
Opole District:
in the case when information on 1997 consumption of fuel was not available the value calculated for
installed boilers power was assumed as annual consumption
annual consumption of fuel was considered in three options:
- Ba1 = B’97 consumption of fuel registered in 1997
- Ba2 = B(Qk) calculated fuel demand for installed power of boilers (Qk);
data included: number of „degree-days" (for Opole District - 3800), efficiency of existing
boilers and calorific value of the fuel (as for fuel consumed in 1997)
- Ba3 = B(Qo) calculated fuel demand for required power of boilers (Qo);
data included: the same as for Ba2 calculation
Greenhouse gases emission evaluation
The values of CO2, CH4 and N2O emission factors were consulted with Polish
Ministry of Environment - MoE.
Non-greenhouse air pollutants emission evaluation
For CO, SO2, NOx and dust, values recommended by MoE for environmental fees were
applied. For heavy metals and persistant organic pollutants (POPs) data from TNO/UBA study for Central and
Eastern Europe were taken.
Emission factors of both greenhouse and non-greenhouse air pollutants are presented in the table below.

Notes:
„Sc" - total sulphur content in fuel [%]
„Ar" - ash content in fuel [%]
Calculation of emission values was performed using the SOZATâ LBZS software. Calculations were
carried out for three options of fuel consumption: Ba1, Ba2 and Ba3 as
described above.
Dispersion analysis (dust and sulphur dioxide)
Dispersion analysis for dust and sulphur dioxide was performed according to Polish „Guidelines for
air quality assessment" using SOZATâ EK-100 software. The guidelines are based on Pasquill
method for air concentration distribution and Krieb method for dust deposition.
Meteorological statistics includes:
wind velocity and direction
Pasquill-Gifford stability classes
Met statistics of the nearest station (Kluczbork town) was taken as there were no met data available for
Byczyna. Kluczbork is located 15 km south from Byczyna.
Roughness factor z0 = 1 m was assumed for area being the subject of baseline study according to
above mentioned guidelines.
E. 2) Estimated emissions with the activity:
Description of the scenario, including methodologies applied:
The project started in 1998 and is divided into two stages. At first stage (realization in 1998) 10 boiler
houses were the subject of modernization (including one boiler house was liquidated, users were connected
to the other modernised boiler house). At second stage (realization in 1999) remaining 6 boiler houses were
modernized.
The boiler houses were equipped with Remeha gas boilers. The summary of installed gas-fired boilers is
presented in the table below:

Modernised boiler houses and their equipment are fulfilling Polish safety and environmental regulations.
Realisation of project was conducted according to the schedule for 1999. This implicates that there have
been no changes in project conditions, compared to the situation as described in the base line and first
monitoring report. The only change in the technical realisation was the final destination of a boiler type
GAS 3000 ECO/9. This boiler was mounted in another building (Moniuszki 4) instead of the originally
selected building. As the cubature and thermal quality of this replacing building is comparable to the
originally selected, this change will not affect the emission levels in base line and monitoring reports.
In the buildings connected to the reconstructed boiler houses, there were no significant changes in the
demand side. As stated by the Town Council of Byczyna, the type and level of occupation (end-users) and the
level of thermal insulation of buildings was identical to previous years.
The applied heat production technology in the town sector, which was not included in the project, was equal
to the situation in previous years. Apart from the buidlings connected to the renovated boiler houses, no
additional gas-fired technology was applied by others.
The economical and social conditions in the area of project application are judged as equivalent and
comparable to previous years. Changes in the base line level due to economical, technical and social are
expectantly neglectable.
The monitoring of greenhouse gases was executed by Atmoterm Sp. z o.o.
Atmoterm was chosen as the responsible and executing body for monitoring because of the expertise in the
field of environmental protection. Besides, Atmoterm reported the base line for this project.
Data of fuel consumption and heat production were provided by ECO (Energetyka Cieplna Opolszczyzny S.A.),
based on their frequent (monthly) reading of gas meters and heat meters.
The results of baseline study concerning greenhouse gases emissions are presented in the table below. The
emissions were calculated basing on boilers power and number of degree-days in the Opole region –
option no. 2 in baseline study.

The gas boilers installed in the second stage started their operation in the middle of October 1999. Their
reduced emissions in 1999 concerns a period of 76 days in 1999 autumn season. For the winter/spring seasons
of 1999 (114 days) the emission from old coal fired boilers is assumed. So the time shares of two fuel
types in 1999 for the group of II stage boiler houses was following:
Coal firing: 60%;
Gas firing: 40%.
Using the above shares the 1999 GHG emissions for II stage boiler houses were calculated:

Emissions in the next years
Emission of GHG in the next years can be provisionally evaluated basing on measurements / monitoring of
input energy in 1999, with following assumptions:
for I stage boiler houses: input energy equal to 1999 gas energy (10497 GJ)
for II stage boiler houses: input energy can be estimated as 10/4 of 1999 gas energy (20398 GJ)
Basing on the above assumptions the annual predicted input gas energy amounts to 30895 GJ and results in
the following GHG emissions:

The predicted GHG emission amounts to approx. 1700 Mg CO2eq per year. This prediction can be
checked and verified in forthcoming years using the measurements of gas consumption and heat consumption,
which will be continued in next years.
The operator of boiler houses (ECO S.A.) will continue the measurements of gas consumption and energy
input/output in the next years. According to the received information the measurement data will be
available for the purpose of emission evaluation.

E. 3) The real reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants for the year 2000:
Environmental effects achieved in the year 2000 were determined by comparison of emission magnitudes
estimated earlier, using both the baseline study and values of emission needed for calculation and
assignment of environmental fees, collected for commercial use of natural resources in this year. The
amounts of released greenhouse gases such as CO2, CH4, and N2O correspond
to emissions quantified prior in the baseline study. Nevertheless, the volume of primary emission of
residual pollutants has not been published in this document and these data originate from ECO S.A. in
result of its’ computations. With regards to methodology of calculations, the markers based method
were applied – supposing the following set of indexes:

The volume of emission of pollutants in the year 2000, were quantified using the methodology founded on
markers recommended by Minister of Environment on purpose to determine the pollutants charge aimed at
allocation of fees for commercial use of environmental resources. Aforementioned markers both for
CH4 and N2O were admitted on same levels like in baseline study.

The successful completion of the second stage of the project has proven that the technical training for
design, detailed design, mounting and operation, as provided in the first stage according to the project
plan, was well fitted to the needs in the second stage.
Training activities can be confirmed by ECO and by Town Council of Byczyna.
For the years after 1999, no additional training was foreseen.

the maximum limit of mercury content in GZ-50 gas was assumed as an emission factor.
The gas boilers installed in the second stage started their operation in the middle of October 1999. Their
reduced emissions in 1999 concerns a period of 76 days in 1999 autumn season. For the winter/spring seasons
of 1999 (114 days) the emission from old coal fired boilers is assumed. The time shares of two fuel types
in 1999 for the group of II stage was following:
Coal firing: 60%;
Gas firing: 40%.
Using the above shares GHG emissions in 1999 for II stage boiler houses were calculated using the option
no. 2 of baseline study calculations.
Measurement procedures and devices
Gas consumption data were gathered as a monthly read-outs of gas meters in individual boiler houses.
Besides the heat production was also measured by the heat meters. The accuracy of gas meters is estimated
as +/- 1%. The accuracy of heat meters is estimated as +/- 5%.
H. 2) Technical difficulties:
The authors of baseline study met difficulties when collecting data on fuel consumption and parameters. For
some boiler houses full range of required data was not available. In those cases the assumptions were made.
The lack of data in Byczyna showed that the evidence of small boilers operational data (e.g. fuel
consumption) is not very good and sometimes does not exist.
To check the assumptions additional baseline options were considered:
emission calculated for required boilers power;
emission calculated for installed boilers power.
The results showed GHG calculated emission 14.3% (required power) or 19.7% (installed power) higher then
the emission evaluated from 1997 fuel consumption. Basing on that result „measuring error" of
baseline can be evaluated at the level of 15-20%.
H. 3) negative impacts and/or effects encountered:
Whenever possible, quantitative information should be provided. Failing that, a qualitative description
should be given. If quantitative information becomes available, it could be submitted using the update(s).
(If the amount of quantitative information is too large, the source could be indicated.)

H. 4) Other obstacles encountered:
H. 5) Other:
The following comments can be pointed on using the Uniform Reporting Format:
The scope of section E.1 (project baseline).
The question arises how much information should be presented there. Should the abstract of baseline study
include evaluation of the baseline for other environmental aspects (not the GHG emissions) and for
technical state? In the case of Byczyna project we presented these two additional subjects generally.
Description of methodology also contained the part concerning other environmental aspects (emission
calculation of all non-GHG pollutants and dispersion modelling of dust/SO2 using SOZAT software)
as well as technical state (site review).
The issue of other environmental aspects seems to be very interesting when considering emission reductions
(section E.2 of URF report). In the case of Byczyna project the reductions of non-GHG pollutants (dust,
SO2) are considerable and the environmental benefits at this side are very important. Dispersion
modelling calculations show how the air quality in Byczyna will get better after the project completion.
Reduction of SO2, NO2 and dust annual emissions (99.92%, 88,26% and 99.97%
respectively, comparing with baseline) caused lower long-term concentration of these pollutants in air as
well as lower dust deposition, which was estimated by air dispersion modelling.
The project was submitted to JIRC, the Dutch Joint Implementation Registration Centre, for registration.
