Gwangju Buk-gu Launches Support Program for Installation of Low-NOx Boilers in Homes View original image


[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 18th that it will promote the 'Low-NOx Boiler Installation Support Project' to enhance the effect of improving air quality.


A low-NOx boiler is an eco-friendly boiler equipped with a low-NOx burner that has a high effect of reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) and improves the combustion (evaporation) amount to less than 0.1 tons per hour.


In particular, it absorbs and recycles the heat released during exhaust gas emission, increasing energy efficiency, which has the advantage of saving about 130,000 KRW annually in fuel costs.


Buk-gu plans to provide subsidies of 200,000 KRW for general households and 600,000 KRW for low-income households to residents who apply for the installation of home-use low-NOx boilers from the 22nd until the budget of 620 million KRW is exhausted.


The support targets are homeowners or tenants authorized by the owners residing in Buk-gu who install home-use low-NOx boilers this year.


Those who installed low-NOx boilers before 2021 or public institutions (owned by the state or local governments) are excluded.



District Mayor Moon In said, “We hope many residents will take interest in this project, which not only creates a pleasant environment by reducing air pollutants but also saves heating costs.”
