How much will pollution reduction in Krakow cost
This report is on the status of US/Polish efforts to reduce air pollution from low emission sources (coalfired house stoves and local boilers) in Krakow, Poland. The region around Krakow in Southern Poland is one of the most heavily polluted areas in the world. In 1989, while visiting Poland, President George Bush made a commitment on behalf of the US to assist in the reclamation of the Krakow environment; Congress in 1990 authorized $20 million to address pollutants from low emissions sources,'' that is, from facilities with low stacks. The low emission sources are responsible for 35 percent of SO{sub x} emissions, significant NO{sub x} emissions, and are the primary source of particulate and organic emissions. The Krakow Clean Fossil Fuels and Energy Efficiency Project, sponsored by the US Agency for International Development and implemented by the US Department of Energy, is designed to reduce these emissions by improving the efficiency of coal use in Krakow's 130,000 coal stoves and 1300 small coal-fired boilerhouses, by reducing demand for energy for space conditioning through thermal integrity improvements, and/or by switching to alternative fuels. The project includes a comprehensive testing program, engineering analyses, and economic assessments to determine the most attractive strategy for reducing emissions from low emission sources in Krakow; this paper reports on the initial results of the project
