Elementary school in Guka equipped for heating with renewable energy
About 300 students attend classes in the school building of the primary school "Salko Aljković" in Guka (Pljevlja). Until 2019, coal was used as an energy source for heating the building. With the cooperation of the elementary school "Salko Aljković" and project partners on the project " Reducing impact of local communities of the cross-border region of Serbia-Montenegro to climate challenges - WE CAN", a new 250kW boiler was installed which uses pellets as an energy source.
The installation of the pellet boiler, in addition to reducing the costs for the supply of energy, also achieved a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and thus a negative impact on climate change. The reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is about 48 tons per year.
The project "Reducing impact of local communities of the cross-border region of Serbia-Montenegro to climate challenges - WE CAN" is funded by the European Union within the cross-border cooperation program Serbia-Montenegro.
