Invitation to informational meetings (PL)
The effect of the investment will be the connection of the gas-steam unit in Rybnik to the natural gas transmission system. This investment will provide opportunities to introduce - as part of the energy transition - changes in electricity generation technology based on the use of low-carbon fuel sources
Environmental benefits:
The municipalities will gain an important benefit of the revenue from the property tax to be paid annually by GAZ-SYSTEM at the rate of 2% of the value of the pipeline section located in their territory. The owners of the properties to be crossed by the gas pipeline will receive compensation in this respect and will still be able to use their land.
Environmental benefits:
- reduction of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere,
- reduction of nitrogen compound emissions and elimination of sulfur compound and dust emissions into the atmosphere.
- reduction in the amount of technological wastewater.
- elimination of solid waste.
