Counteracting progressive climate change is not only an area of interest for governments and business, but also consumers. Therefore, environmental education conducted from an early age may result in a change of habits in the future and thus a reduction in emissions. District heating plays an important role in the fight for cleaner air. The educational program launched by PGE Energia Ciepła is to help primary school students understand how heat is generated, where electricity comes from and what impact it has on the climate and environmental protection. Schools can register by October 8.
“Climate and environmental protection are topics that are of interest not only to scientists, but also young people. All initiatives that promote ecological attitudes, talk about where electricity, heat and energy come from, are welcomed by the Ministry of National Education. I am glad that the PGE Group has also joined this type of activities, never too much education and it is worth continuing,” Dariusz Piontkowski, Minister of National Education, said.
Poland is one of the European leaders in the district heating sector. It has one of the most developed heating networks in Europe, with nearly 21,500 km. District heating systems operate in most Polish cities. About 50 percent. of households in Poland purchase heat energy from system heating companies. Heat from a combined heat and power plant is more ecologically effective - especially compared to individual coal boilers, therefore it plays a large role in the fight against smog and CO2 emissions.
