Gwangju City Provides Subsidies for Replacing Low-NOx Burners in Factories and Apartment Complexes

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 21st that it will promote the 'Low-NOx Burner Installation Support Project,' which provides subsidies when replacing boilers in factories or apartment complexes with low-NOx burners.

A low-NOx burner is a device that improves combustion efficiency, reducing fuel consumption by 2-10% compared to a regular burner.

It is also known to reduce nitrogen oxides, a major greenhouse gas and a primary cause of fine dust, by 52% compared to regular burners.

This project provides subsidies covering 90% of installation costs, ranging from 2.48 million KRW to a maximum of 15 million KRW depending on the boiler capacity, when replacing old general burners installed in ▲ boilers ▲ cooling/heating water devices ▲ drying facilities in small and medium-sized enterprises, non-profit corporations/organizations, office/commercial buildings, or apartment complexes with low-NOx burners.

Gwangju plans to support 45 units this year and will accept applications on an ongoing basis from the 22nd until the project budget is exhausted.

For more details, please refer to the city’s website announcement.

Song Yong-su, head of the Climate and Environment Policy Division of the city, said, “We hope that people will replace their burners with low-NOx burners, which can reduce fuel costs and drastically cut air pollutants.”
