An appeal to the Climate Minister: we need quality standards for the coal and pellets we are selling!
The Deputy Marshal of the Małopolska Region, Tomasz Urynowicz, made an appeal to the Minister of Climate, Michał Kurtyka, to prepare new quality standards for approved coal and to prepare such standards for pellets. No quality regulations regulate the sale of this biofuel. Pellet furnaces are increasingly being chosen as a source of heat in view of limited access to gas and heating infrastructure. This is the case both in newly built houses and when replacing old type boilers.
The good news is that in less than a month, on 1 July 2020, the ban on the sale of coal slurries comes into force. In Małopolska, the anti-smog resolution has not allowed their use for three years. The availability of fine coal on the market severely limited the effectiveness of regional regulations. And yet it is the regulations at the government level that should be the pillar supporting local and regional activities. This is why we are asking for a review of existing regulations and the introduction of stricter requirements for solid fuels.
– explains Deputy Marshal Tomasz Urynowicz
Quality standards for coal
The Małopolska initiative appeared because, pursuant to Article 3a of the Act on the system for monitoring and controlling fuel quality, the Minister for Energy should review the quality requirements for solid fuels at least once every two years, and the results of this review constitute a basis for changing standards. The two-year period for the introduction in Poland of regulations governing the requirements for commercially available coal is now passing, and therefore their review is legally justified. It is also advisable because the quality requirements for coal, as set out in the Regulation of the Minister of Energy of 2018, are different from those imposed by European standards, setting out the criteria for emissions and efficiency of heating boilers. Meanwhile, the use of insufficient quality fuel even in modern, certified furnaces does not guarantee the reduction of air pollution.
Quality standards for pellets
It is also important to introduce quality standards for the increasingly popular pellets. In Poland, there are no regulations concerning its composition and production. It is therefore impossible to eliminate from the sale of poor-quality pellets containing large quantities of mineral substances (e.g. ash) and even plastics. Users of pellet boilers are not aware that the fuel they use has not much in common with the struggle for clean air.
I hope that the Ministry of the Climate will quickly work on preparing new quality standards for solid fuels permitted for sale. The new regulations should guarantee the possibility of meeting emission levels for solid fuel furnaces, as defined in the EU Ecodesign Regulation. This will lead to a rapid improvement in air quality in Poland.
– concludes Tomasz Urynowicz.
One of the partners of the LIFE project – “Małopolska in a healthy atmosphere” is the town of Bochnia. The aim of the project is the implementation of the Air Quality Plan for the Małopolska Region. Bochnia is actively involved in the project by organising many educational events. Below we present selected activities implemented under the LIFE project.
Earth Day in Bochnia
Every year on 22 April we celebrate Earth Day. On this occasion, in the Town Kindergarten No. 4 in Bochnia, classes on air protection were held. About 40 preschoolers participated in the Eco-Manager classes. The meeting was initiated by a discussion on air and smog. The children actively participated in the activities and answered the questions asked. Together with the Eco-manager, the participants were looking for a way to improve the air quality in their surroundings. At the end, an eco-book was displayed, in which the issues of waste segregation, energy saving, as well as the use of renewable energy sources were discussed. Each child received a small gift – a badge with the slogan “Clean air guard”.
European Mobility Week
September is an opportunity to organise events every year as part of the European Mobility Week. The ETZT is also organised by the Bochnia City Council. Throughout the week, people who have reached selected places in the municipality by bicycle could enjoy a delicious coffee. Game lovers took part in a field game based on the Pokémon Go application. The most persistent won prizes, which were presented to them by Stefan Kolawiński, Mayor of Bochnia. In Public Primary School No. 7 in Bochnia, classes dedicated to air protection through the use of ecological means of transport were held.
The eco-manager encouraged the youngest to wisely and consciously choose the forms of transport that are the most ecological and low-emission.
Relaxation and education
On 21-22 September, St. Kinga’s Square was transformed into an activity and leisure zone. Residents could see what a city street without car traffic could look like. On the section excluded from traffic, “green alleys” equipped with live plants were set up. Residents were able to rest on deckchairs and benches. This place allowed passers-by to relax and rest.
On the street closed to traffic, ecological workshops with Eco-manager for high school students were held. In the first part of the workshop, there was a conversation on the sources of air pollution, low emissions and renewable energy sources. The second part of the workshop is the development of communication solutions for Bochnia by students, as well as the possibilities of using renewable energy.
On the day of the World Car Free Day, BZK’s public transport was running for free. Also on that day a cycling town was installed in the Market Square, and in the so called RES Bus, it was possible to get information about ecological ways of heating houses.
Competition – “Recycled toy”
On September 20, 2019, at the Niepodległości estate, awards were held in the “Toy from recycling” competition. Organized by the Bochnia City Hall for primary school students in Bochnia. The prizes for the authors of the best works were presented by the deputy mayor of Bochnia – Gustaw Korta.
Elżbieta Walas, Eco- manager from Bochnia City Hall:
“The aim of the competition was to interest students in the topic of low emissions, to identify the problem of air pollution associated with waste incineration and to raise awareness among school children and young people about environmental protection”.
Summary of the second phase of the LIFE project in the Bochnia Town Municipality:
During the implementation of the second phase of the LIFE project – Małopolska in a healthy atmosphere, a number of educational campaigns were organized in the Andrychów Commune to increase the awareness of residents about air care. The eco-manager tried to reach the inhabitants of various age groups, ranging from the youngest residents of the commune to seniors.
Oxford debate
The Oxford Debate was organised in May 2018 on the occasion of Green Week. The debate was attended by students of the second and third grade of the Middle School. They represented 6 opinion-forming groups: parents of small children (including those with asthma and allergies), representatives of gasworks, athletes, the elderly, miners and producers of solid fuel boilers, as well as the audience. At the beginning, the Mayor of Andrychów – Tomasz Żak gave a thesis:
I am introducing a local law which says that, from 1 June 2018, any resident who wants to replace an old non-ecological coal boiler with a new heating appliance will have to install a gas boiler. In this way, the coal-fired boilers will be gradually eliminated from the Andrychów Municipality
After the debate, the audience voted in favour or against. A discussion began, in which all groups took part, presenting their positions. At the end of the discussion, the vote was repeated, the result of which was different from the first. The debate was an excellent form of education based on real-life examples from different social and professional groups. Apart from Mr Mayor, they listened to the debate: Ewa Rohde-Trojan, Head of the Environment Department of Agriculture and Forestry, and Michał Kołodziejczyk, Director of the USSR in Inwałd. All participants of the discussion were awarded with gifts.
Educational stand during the charity event “Race for the Heart of the Zbój from Złota Górka”
16 September 2018. The Municipal Office in Andrychów organised a charity event “Race for the Heart of the Zbój from Złota Górka”. During the event, an educational stand was prepared with competitions, rebuses, crosswords and artistic tasks for children and young people. Prizes purchased as part of the LIFE project were distributed among the participants. Additionally, brochures and leaflets on air protection were distributed at the stand.
Educational stand during the “Active Senior’s Day”
In October 2018, the second edition of the Andrychów Senior Fair took place, where we prepared an educational stand. Eco-manager among Seniors distributed wing flowers, books and leaflets on the impact of polluted air on human life and health.
All Seniors, and there were about 150 of them, learned what actions should be taken to protect their health during the days with exceeding the concentrations of dust in the air.
– Eco-manager – Agnieszka Walczak
XV Municipal Ecological Competition entitled: “Take care of the air – don’t burn trash
In November 2018, the Ecological Competition entitled: “Take care of the air – don’t burn the rubbish” was decided. The competition was dedicated to pupils of kindergartens, primary schools and junior high schools located in the Andrychów Municipality. Pupils prepared art works, essays, films and solved a knowledge test. All participants were awarded. The competition was attended by 159 pupils. Pupils found out why it is worth taking care of clean air and how it affects our health. Additionally, the eco-manager informed the participants where to find information about air pollution in our Commune.
Education stand during BAJKOLAND
2 June 2019. The Centre for Culture and Leisure in Andrychów organised BAJKOLAND – an event dedicated to children on the occasion of their celebration. The eco-manager and employees of the Department of Environmental Protection, Agriculture and Forestry of the Municipal Office in Andrychów prepared a number of quizzes, rebus, colouring books and puzzles on ecological issues related to clean air. For properly performed tasks, children received small gifts and parents received leaflets on proper waste segregation and air pollution.

Since 15 May, the government’s Clean Air programme, under which it is possible to obtain a subsidy for furnace replacement and other energy-saving measures (thermo-modernisation, replacement of windows and doors), is starting to operate on new, simpler rules. The National Fund for Environmental Protection invites you to a webinar on Monday 11 May this year. During the meeting, you can find out, i. a. who is entitled to receive funding from the project, what documents are necessary and how to submit an application.
I sincerely encourage you to participate in this virtual conference. The event is addressed not only to the employees of offices dealing with air protection or installers, but also to people who think about investments improving air quality. By simplifying the rules of the Clean Air programme, subsidies are really at your fingertips.
– said Tomasz Urynowicz, Deputy Marshal of the Małopolska Region
How to take part in a webinar?
The conference call with NFOŚ experts will start on 11 May at 12.00 p.m. You should register in advance at http://nfosigw.gov.pl/formularze/. We recommend to hurry up, the number of seats is limited!
For whom are the workshops intended?
Monday’s webinar inaugurates the “Clean Air Academy” series. The training is intended, i. a. for employees of offices dealing with air protection and energy efficiency, energy advisors, renovation and construction companies, installers of boilers and photovoltaics. During subsequent meetings on the Internet, training courses on modern heating techniques and thermo-modernisation of buildings, as well as on applicable legal regulations are planned. The subject of renewable energy sources will also be discussed. The next webinar is scheduled for May 18th at 12:00 p.m. The event is dedicated to the requirements of product cards and energy labels for heating and ventilation devices. The subject of anti-smog resolutions in Poland in the context of the “Clean Air” programme will also be discussed.
You can read about the new rules of the Clean Air Programme on our website.
Simpler grant rules, shorter processing times, higher funding for people on low incomes – these are the most important changes in the government’s Clean Air programme, which can be used by those who replace their heater with a green one. The new rules will start to apply from 15 May.
Clean air is a programme designed for owners or co-owners of single-family residential buildings who decide to invest in reducing the emission of harmful dusts into the atmosphere. The basis of the programme is a subsidy for the replacement of an old furnace with solid fuels in accordance with EU standards. However, the subsidy covers a number of other measures to save heat and energy: insulation of the building, replacement of windows and doors, etc.
According to the new provisions, persons entitled to the basic level of co-financing can receive basic support up to PLN 20 thousand. If the investment includes a more efficient heating source, i.e. a heat pump, it is possible to get up to PLN 25 thousand, and if photovoltaic panels are installed, the total payment will reach even PLN 30 thousand.
Air is a common good, and the effort to keep it clean should be supported. Such support is provided by the Clean Air Programme, a specific financial aid, which has so far been somewhat complicated to obtain. I am very pleased that subsidies from the Clean Air Programme will now be more readily available to ordinary residents of Małopolska. I would also like to remind you that eco-advisers in several dozen municipalities are at your disposal to help you with formalities and complete documents.

On Wednesday,
July 10 at the Polish Aviation Museum a presentation of an unmanned solar
aircraft took place. The Malopolska Region was represented by Deputy Marshal
Tomasz Urynowicz.
The project of an innovative, unmanned solar-powered aircraft was created by members of the AGH Solar Plane scientific circle from the AGH University of Science and Technology. Photovoltaic panels were mounted on the wings of the machine. The energy produced is stored in batteries enabling flight at night. The aircraft weighs about 5 kg, and the wingspan is 6 m.
The culmination of the project
will be a machine flight along the eastern border of Poland as well as an entry
in the international solar competition “TÜBİTAK International Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle Competition” in Istanbul, Turkey.
The meeting began with the
greeting of guests and project presentations. After the official part, an
acrobatic model was presented. The event ended with a demonstrative solar
flight.
Today, trainings for employees of municipalities, police as well as municipal and communal guards from the Malopolska Region, on home furnace inspection began.
Participants were welcomed by Tomasz Urynowicz – Deputy Marshal of the Malopolska Region, he reminded that the main goal of the inspection was to eliminate waste burning.
The training was conducted by a consortium composed of the Institute of Chemical Processing of Coal with headquarters in Zabrze and the Frank Bold Foundation with headquarters in Krakow.
Persons participating in the training were practically “step by step” taken through the methodology of collecting furnace waste samples from the ash pan and acquired the ability to distinguish solid coal fuels.
We believe that the knowledge of participants acquired during the training will help municipalities in implementing activities related to reducing low emissions and will enable them to effectively perform inspections.
Each participant received a personal certificate confirming knowledge and skills as well as a set of training materials.
We still have 13 days of training ahead of us, they are very popular. The entire cycle will be attended by over 400 people from the entire Malopolska Region.
Please be reminded that the obligation for municipalities to carry out inspections results from the Environmental Protection Law (Article 379 of the Act), and in the Malopolska Region additionally from the Air Quality Program. Pursuant to its provisions, the obligation to carry out inspections rests with the village heads, mayors and presidents of cities and municipalities.
The training is financed from the LIFE integrated project “Implementation of the Air Quality Program for the Malopolska Region – Malopolska in a healthy atmosphere” (LIFE IP MALOPOLSKA / LIFE 14 IPE PL 021).
