The EIT: Bridging the Innovation Gap
Fuel of the future
The EIT’s KIC InnoEnergy activities in Poland, include clean coal technologies. Development of clean coal technologies is a
great opportunity for Poland. And it is all about the development of various technologies that make coal the fuel of the future, environmentally friendly for many years. In Poland coal is the primarily source of energy, which is used both in industry and households. Meanwhile, it is also the fuel that gives a lot more opportunities, like
underground coal gasification. This new technology might have a significant contribution to the development of the Polish energy sector. “We should be the leader of clean coal technologies in Europe” - emphasized Jerzy Buzek, former President of the European Parliament, during the 6th European Economic Congress. Supported by the EIT’s KIC InnoEnergy innovative projects in this area include:
WasteHeat Waste Heat Recovery for PC Boilers;
SECoal Multi-fuel energy generation for Sustainable and Efficient use of Coal and;
NewMat New Materials for Energy Systems.
