The straw fueled block of Pannonpower biomass fired power plant, which was opened in 2013, was a result of approximately HUF 24 billion development. The built-in heat generation capacity of the new power plant block is more than 70 MW, while its cogenerated power capacity is 35 MW. It generates approximately 1,000 TJ heat annually. By using agricultural by-products as fuel instead of natural gas, the power plant managed to cut back on carbon dioxide emission by 150,000 tons per annum.
The “Reborn Home” project shows how an active house can be a real strategy to improve in terms of comfort, energy and environment but also aesthetically thus improving the economy and market value of the existing stock. This house has received the Active House Award in 2017 and the E-On Energy Globe Prize in 2018.
