Project Description
The project involves the conversion of a lignite-fired boiler into a biomass-fired boiler at ZE PAK’s power plant, in Konin, using bubbling fluidised-bed technology.

A selective nonatalytic reduction solution will be provided to lower nitrogen oxide emissions, as well as modernise the plant’s instrumentation and electrification systems.

The modernised 50 MWe installation will produce electricity and act as a back-up for the currently operating biomass block supplying Konin with heat.

After the modernisation of the K-7 boiler, a power generation of about 100 MWe using biomass as the basic fuel will be available at Konin power plant.

The investment will enable Konin to be the first Polish city that is heated with energy originating exclusively from renewable sources.
