Did you know…
Stargard
breathes healthier air?
For over a decade, 3,000 large coal wagons never rolled into Stargard.
More than 170,000 tonnes of coal were never burned in PEC’s boilers.
Many other toxic substances never rose over the city either.
Heat from underground instead of smoke from chimneys. Few cities in the world are that lucky.
Stargard Geothermal
Get the facts.
Pollution Stargard has avoided thanks to geothermal energy
Data collected since 2012 shows how much pollution never reached the air above Stargard thanks to geothermal energy. Heat from deep underground has replaced a large share of the coal burned in the city, cutting the emissions responsible for smog and acid rain. The charts below show this year by year.
Air other cities envy
Burning coal produces more than heat – it also produces everything that comes out of the chimneys: carbon dioxide and particulate matter, which penetrates deep into the lungs and harms health. The two figures on the cards show how much of it has not entered the air above Stargard since 2012.
Stargard has something most of the country lacks – a treasure hidden nearly 3 km underground. Many cities are only just planning boreholes, need huge investment and face long years of preparation. Here, geothermal energy already works today – no experiments, no promises – and heats most of the city without burning anything.
