Gochang-gun Promotes Distribution of Low-NOx Boilers for Home Use

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk announced on the 3rd that it will promote an eco-friendly low-NOx boiler distribution project, which has about 10% higher energy efficiency than general boilers and reduces the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx), an air pollutant.

The project can be applied for through dealerships to the Ecology and Environment and Air Environment Teams until the 12th, and a total of 25 units (20 for general households, 5 for low-income households) will be supported.

The target is households in Gochang-gun installing or replacing with low-NOx boilers for home use. The support amount is 200,000 KRW for general households and 500,000 KRW for low-income households.

Priority support targets are households that have replaced boilers older than 10 years with low-NOx boilers or newly installed low-NOx boilers.

Low-NOx boilers use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or city gas as fuel. The products are certified by the Environmental Label of the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute, and the certification status can be checked on the internet homepage.

A Gochang-gun official said, “Installing low-NOx boilers not only reduces air pollutants (fine dust) but also improves energy efficiency, which can lead to fuel savings,” and added, “We hope residents will participate in creating a pleasant air quality by switching to low-NOx boilers.”
