PR - Veolia unveils a major project to phase out coal in Poland to support European decarbonization and strengthen energy resilience in Poznań

This investment will allow to completely eliminate coal from Poznań's district heating network by 2030. 

The first phase, with the new cogeneration unit, will enable high efficiency, up to 92%, in heat and electricity production and reduce CO₂ emissions by 25% (up to 260,000 tons per year). 

This project will make Poznań's district heating network one of the most modern and efficient in Poland, paving the way for other cities in the country. 

It is fully in line with Veolia's GreenUp strategy and prepares the integration of innovative heat sources into a unique system, including heat recovered from data centers and wastewater, as well as geothermal energy for residential heating.
