In certain part of Poland substantial surpluses of straw can be found due to decline of cattle-raising or change of raising method without bedding material.It leads to very non-ecological and non-economical behaviourl of burning straw in the field.Surpluses of unused straw constitute on the othe hand a substantial promising potenial source of energy, even this simplest one - replacement to coal,oil,gas for heating purposes.
Installation of 2 boilers &)KW, modernisation of building,widening services provided to the local community by enlarged village school (center of activitization, cultural center,distribution center,taraining center).
Project demonstarte succesful example of rational use of local resources (local energy instead of imported conventional one - coal from Southern part of Poland transport over 600km; liquidation of poor habits of burning straw in the firld; liquidatio of GHG emission;improvement of sustainable livelihood.
