| Description | The developed production of heat (steam) by Farmutil Company enables use of renewable energy from biofuel meat-bone meal which is incinerated in rotary kilns utilising vapours and odours from its production, instead of natural gas, to ensure Farmutil’s own needs for heat. The transformation of existing district heating in Piła city (currently using coal) into a fourth generation district heating system was proposed, predicting the use of heat (hot water) after combustion of biofuel meat-bone meal as district heating in the city of Piła. The maximum possible surplus amount of heat that can be produced at Farmutil exceeds the needs for the district heating demands of the city of Piła (860,200 GJ/y) by 53.2% at a meat-bone meal burning scale of 150,000 t/y. The use of 52,000 t/y of meat-bone meal for district heating production also results in an increase in incomes through the sale of hydroxyapatite ash from its combustion, amounting 1.638 million EUR/y. The closure of the coal-fired heating plant eliminates the consumption of 44,000 t/y of coal and the need to pay $CO_{2}$ emission permits amount to over 5.588 million EUR/y. |
