Energy

What is being done to make the SECTOR more environment-friendly

It is necessary to focus in future on tasks:

to increase the share of natural gas combustion to the detriment of coal combustion,

to continue in the development of the system of central heat supply in Košice, to replace that part of TEKOc s production that will be closed soon (the combined production of heat and electric power on the basis of natural gas using co-generation modules, use of geothermal energy for heat production),

reduction of sulphur components in combusted fuel (100 % combustion of low-sulphur coal, desulphurization of coke-oven gas in the VSŽ iron works),

ecological reconstruction of boilers in the heating plant of VSŽ iron works.

The negative environmental impact of power industry can be minimizeded by use of co-generation units (steam-gas cycle) on the basis of natural gas as well as by industrial processing and use of ashes and clinker). Thus, the risk of soil and water contamination will be reduced. One of the possibilities is the rationalisation of electric power and heat energy consumption.
