Within the framework of the program on natural gas consumption reduction the public company Kievenergo is studying the possibility of turning the mini boiler houses to running on solid bio fuel (fuel pellets), — the chief executive of the public company Kievenergo Eduard Sokolocsky said.
According to him, at present the energy audit of the project commissioned by Kievenergo is being done, its results are planned to become the basis for choosing a number of mini boiler houses with the aim of switching them to using fuel pellets.
According to the estimate, the use of pellets by boiler houses will be 25-30% cheaper than burning natural gas with its current cost.
Besides, the public company Kievenergo in cooperation with the city state administration of Kyiv is studying the possibility of using the heat produced in the process of domestic household waste burning at the Energiya plant which will enable considerable reduction in the heat prime cost as well as saving natural gas.
It is also likely that in the future the thermal power plant 5 will be reequipped to operate according the technology of coal-water mixture burning. The decision can be taken after the completion of the energy audit in the course of which the economic feasibility environmental aspects of this technology are to be assessed.
