Ulsan City Supports Installation of Residential Low-NOx Boilers... 100,000 KRW per Unit, 600,000 KRW for Low-Income Households, Air Quality Improvement

Ulsan City Hall.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Ulsan City is conducting a support project for the installation of household boilers that reduce air pollutants to improve air quality.

On the 3rd, Ulsan City announced that it will promote the "2022 Household Low-NOx Boiler Installation Support Project" to reduce air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are the main causes of fine dust.

A "household low-NOx boiler" is a product certified by the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute's environmental label, with an hourly evaporation rate of 0.1 tons or less or a heat output of less than 61,900 kcal.

By absorbing and recycling the high-temperature heat emitted through exhaust gases, it has 12% higher energy efficiency than general boilers and reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, a cause of fine dust, by more than 80%.

Ulsan City plans to invest a total project cost of 1.3 billion KRW to initially support 11,755 units, and if additional funds are secured, a second support project will be promoted.

When replacing an old general household boiler with a household low-NOx boiler this year, a subsidy of 100,000 KRW per boiler is provided for the general public, and 600,000 KRW for low-income households.

Low-NOx boilers generate condensate, so installation is restricted in places where condensate piping installation is not possible. Before applying for support, applicants must check with the boiler manufacturer in advance whether installation is possible.

When applying, photos showing that the boiler was newly installed this year and photos of the boiler to be replaced must be submitted.

Detailed information, application forms, and required documents can be confirmed through the announcement posted on the websites of the relevant districts and counties on the 3rd.
