Attitudes of heat plant managers as one of the key obstacles to district heating decarbonization in Poland
Keyword(s):
The decarbonization of district heating in Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries is disappointingly slow. One of the reasons is the lack of expertise in the field of external environmental costs among heat plant managers. The empiric research presented in the work shows that most of them chose coal because of the false belief that it is cheap, while in reality its social cost is high. Helping heat plant managers to improve their expertise in energy production externalities may change their attitudes and accelerate the district heating decarbonization process in that part of Europe. The goal seems to be realistic since the research proves that most heat plant managers are willing to progress in this field.
