The Ministry of energy and coal industry has developed 4 projects on replacing anthracite coal mined in Donbass and has already implemented 2 of them.
According to the energy and coal industry minister Igor Nasalik, one project will decrease anthracite coal consumption by at least 1 million tons.
“This project is connected with the Rovno NPP and Kievskaya substation – 750 kW”, he said.
The second project is the storage power station that has already been put into operation. It allowed saving around 400 thousand tons of coal.
The final 2 projects will be implemented this year.
“This is the replacement of the anthracite coal at the second and fifth blocks of the Zmiev TPP, which will allow us saving some 1.3 million tons of coal, and the Zaporozhye-Kakhovka line with some 1.5 million tons”, he added. (Ukrainian metal)
