Good practices and investments related to Cleaner Production
Example No. 25
Renewable energy generation and indirect emission reduction through installation of photovoltaic panels
Company:
Grupa GAL Sp. z o.o., Bielsko-Biała
Place of implementation of good practice: Branch in Rybnik
Industry branch: metallurgical industry
Main services: performance of anti-corrosion coatings
Resources in question:
- Electrical energy (RES)
- Fossil fuels (indirectly)
- Emissions into the atmosphere (indirectly)
Cost (implementation of good practice): High
(Total investment cost calculated on the basis of valuation of project stages: PLN 193,971, including: construction opinion: PLN 3,690, roof reinforcement: PLN 3,936, photovoltaic system design with installation of panels: PLN 186,345)

Description of the problem:
Rybnik has for years been at the infamous top of the ranking of Polish cities with the most polluted air. According to a World Health Organization report, in 2016 it was ranked as the 4th most polluted city in the EU. In January 2017, quality monitoring stations in the city showed that the level of PM10 exceeded the limit values by more than 3,000%. For this reason, a project allowing to practically reduce air pollution in Rybnik was selected as the first to be implemented under the Cleaner Production Academy.
Applied solution:
After the strength test, the roof structure reinforcement was assembled and photovoltaic panels with a total capacity of 49.4 kWp were installed on the roof. Thanks to an analysis of the degree of reduction in CO2 and particulate matter, it has been proven that the implemented project will contribute to a practical reduction in air pollution.
The system is located on two roofs and is divided into 3 sectors. The total number of panels is 130, giving an area of about 227 m2.

Obtained benefits and effects of the implementation:
- Considering the fuel structure of the external electricity supplier
- reduced carbon dioxide emissions by about 1,050 Mg over 30 years of photovoltaic system operation.
- reduced particulate matter emissions by about 45 kg over 30 years.
- Financial savings from using one’s own source: about PLN 32,500/year (PLN 32,500 x 30 years = PLN 975,000, assuming current prices and ignoring changes in the value of money over time). The investment should pay off in about six years.
