Application of Smart Technologies in Metropolis GZM to Reduce Harmful Emissions in District Heating Systems

Harmful emissions from heating installations have recently received public attention in Poland. Polish municipalities mainly take their heat from local district heating networks with large-scale coal-fired heat sources. Today, transition to nonemissive sources on this scale would be impractical. The...
