Published in the Journal of Laws on November 4, 2024, the regulation concerns the quality of solid fuels used by households and in combustion installations with a thermal power of less than 1 MW. The new regulations defined, among others: parameters such as ash content, sulfur content, calorific value and humidity in relation to the types of fuel coal used in Poland.
New regulations on fuel. We will soon say goodbye to “eco-pea coal”
As we learned from the provisions of the regulation, from December 1, 2024, fuel constants that could confuse consumers with their name and the “eco” prefix – including: “eco-pea coal”, popular in our country. Thus, new definitions of fuel types will be introduced:
- “coal cube”;
- “coal nut”;
- “coal peas”;
- “walnut coal standard for heating devices of classes 3, 4 and 5 or meeting ecodesign requirements”;
- “pea coal standard for heating devices of classes 3, 4 and 5 or meeting ecodesign requirements”;
- “coal had”;
- “anthracite coal”.
What does the future hold for coal in Poland? The Minister of Industry talked about museums
– Poland the energy sector is in a state of change, but we undoubtedly are coalwhich will last longer time he will be with us, he will accompany us – she commented late October Minister of Industry Marzena Czarnecka during a meeting of the Senate committees for national economy and innovation and the climate and environment committee devoted to the challenges of energy transformation.
As usual we discussedthe head of the ministry also informed about Poland taking up these “challenges”. – As an example, yesterday we took up the challenge because it turns out that the European Union is looking for a mine that will supply coal by 2050 to all museums that are “powered by coal”. […] I am working to ensure that this one mine is a Polish mine, because there are only two countries in this race. […] This will ensure the functioning of coal and show that it is still needed, explained Czarnecka.
