Description:
Objectives and rationale of the project:
This project has two GHG reduction objectives and acillary benefits:
- reduce CO2 emissions from coal combustion and from coal-based power generation used for heating by substituting wood wastes as a fuel to provide space heating and hot water.
- Eliminate increases in future methane emission from new landfills that would have to be built in order to dispose of wood wastes.
Ancillary benefits would be:
- Reduction in increased goundwater contaminatin from new landfills
- Meeting unserved demand for heat and hot water institutional buildings, thereby achieving an important social benefit. Due to logistical problems in delivering coal year-round there are communities that do not have adequate heat supply.
- Additional employment would be created throught the use of wood wastes for heat production.
- This project could be replicated in more than 50 mountain districts in the Lviv, Zakapattya, Ivano-Frankivs and Chernivtsy oblasts.
