ENEA Group’s environmental activities in 2022

The period covered by the Report, ENEA Group companies conducted numerous activities aimed at reducing their negative impact on the environment. These included both large infrastructure investments that reduced atmospheric emissions and air pollutants generated by production processes, as well as minor changes in daily operations. We also made continuous efforts to increase environmental awareness of our employees. We also carried out environmental education projects in the Group’s communities and executed projects to actively protect the nature.

Constant monitoring of the natural environment at the site of the Kozienice Power Plant and the surrounding areas by naturalists from the Mazowieckie-Świętokrzyskie Ornithological Society. Entered into a contract to develop the concept documentation for circular economy in the water and sewage area. – Organized nature tours and the exhibition “The Green Face of the Kozienice Power Plant” together with the Mazowieckie-Świętokrzyskie Ornithological Society. Completed the upgrade of the non-return flap to a flap with hydraulic override for PC2 and PC3 pumps. The project is expected to save 200 toe/year of final energy.

Completed the modernization of the lighting system at the DEMI II water demineralization station, marsh pumping stations No. 1, 2, 3. The project is expected to save 13 toe/year of final energy

– Started the construction of the underground water pumping system on the ditch of RE “Żelazny” and reconstruction of the ditch. Acting together with the CZH SA Group, launched the Spoil Tip Reclamation and Operation Program. The coal to be obtained from the spoil tips – up to 2 million tons per year – can be used by the power sector, while the reclamation of these spoil tips will free up the land, on which renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic farms, will be built.

Carried out an analysis of new opportunities for the recovery of mining waste.

Obtained a decision from the voivodship marshal to recognize mining waste in the amount of 50,000 Mg/year with a granulation of 20-50 mm as a by-product.

 Carried out a periodic training of employees to update their knowledge on issues related to, among others, the mine’s impact on the environment.

Field workshops allow students to obtain practical knowledge related to the operation of a mine and pro-environmental activities.

 Implemented modern equipment that consumes less electricity, e.g. motors for drives, main fans. Construction of a photovoltaic farm (planned completion: 2023).

Reduced emissions by using an alternative method for transporting people to the coalface – adapted PIOAMA 1000 conveyors to transport people.

– – – – Installed energy-efficient devices, such as e.g. a frequency converter to control slag pumps at the KR Zachód district boiler plant, and automatic control systems for the operation of the cogeneration source. Modernized a 0.67 km section of the district heating network by replacing tunnel heating networks with pre-insulated pipes.

Converted low-parameter pre-insulated networks into high-parameter networks as part of the project to liquidate a central heating substation on a 0.12 km section of the district heating network.

Eliminated high emissions by liquidating old furnaces in residential apartments in Piła and by connecting them to the district heating network.
