Fix the Heat, and We Fix Economic Growth
Poland’s 400+ licensed district heating systems are not just engineering relics of a bygone era—they are also anchors for future prosperity. Many still run on coal or imported gas. Others are underfunded, deteriorating, and disconnected from the sweeping energy transition taking place in Warsaw or Berlin. But behind each rusting pipeline and coal-fired chimney is an opportunity: to decarbonise, regenerate, and redistribute.
Replacing district heating doesn’t just cut emissions. It lights the fire of a new economy—one rooted in local biomass, in new forms of clean hydrogen-rich gas, in circular carbon chemistry, and in the industrial capabilities of Poland’s people. This is not just about technology. It is about dignity, sovereignty, and equitable growth.
TITAN and ASMARA: Platforms for Change
The TITAN and ASMARA platforms, developed by Syngas Project and backed by strategic international partners, are not just cleaner energy systems. They are instruments of regeneration. Together, they deliver:
- Smokeless, dispatchable heat and electricity through advanced gasification (HPG),
- Second-generation ethanol and other fuels via targeted microbial fermentation (TMF),
- Bio-based alternatives to imported chemicals, materials, and proteins,
- Local employment across harvesting, logistics, engineering, and fermentation sciences,
- And critically: a stable platform for economic development in places that globalisation left behind.
Each TITAN is modular and self-contained. It runs on regional forest residue, agricultural waste, or sorted urban waste streams. Each ASMARA complements TITAN by valorising complex municipal solid waste in urban zones. Together, they replace dependency with resilience—foreign fuel with local ingenuity.
