Biomass use for the heating purposes in the hospital for patients with Altzheimer Disease
Proposed initially by local government heating system based on oil which would involve a very high, growing financial burden to the community of excluded people (HIV/AIDS) living in Wandzin campus. New heating system for hospital for people with Alzheimer.
Invitation of GEF/SGP changed loc.government attitude after a lenghty discussion and negotiation.
Existing capacity (space in boiler house) enabled new solution (100m modern pipe instead of construction of an additional boiler house for hospital itself) . Very strong social effects and direct ecological ones - use of renewable energy sources, economic effects - paid by work energy resource (zero cash cost).

Policy Impact
Example of succesful fight with a very suspicious solution presented initially by loc.gov.and rigorious GEF/SGP position , so renewable energy will be used instead of planned by local donor/loc.gov. oil. .It reflects a wide example of interest of various lobbies in loc.gov. councils (here oil lobby?oil boilers lobby?).Wandzin community is located in the forest, a big complex;Wandzin has a permanent contract for clearing forest signed with the local forest inspectorate and for labour is paid by wood and wood waste.Oil solution is absolutely not rational in this case.
