Tepláreň Košice invests in clean technologies
The heating plant has ordered technology to significantly reduce the release of pollutants into the air, as Košice has a long-term problem with its pollution. This is mainly due to metallurgical plant the US Steel and, to a lesser extent, Tepláreň Košice (TEKO). Both burn coal.
Technology from Energyco, a company from Rožňava, will cost 45 million euros. It is a combined heat and power plant. Fuel will be the gas, whereby the company will reduce the consumption of coal by up to 30 percent. The current investment includes four gas engines with an electric and thermal output of up to 4 x 10.5 megawatts. They replace the TEKO I. technology, which has been in operation since the 1960s. The new technology should work from August 2019. The TEKO says that since 2005 it has invested up to 125 million euros in cleaner technologies.
