Use Eco-Friendly Boilers to Save the Earth... Ulju-gun Supports 1,755 Low-NOx Boilers

Energy Efficiency Up 12%, Nitrogen Oxides Down 80%

Ulsan Ulju-gun Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Ulsan Ulju-gun is implementing a support project in 2022 for the installation of low-NOx boilers for households to reduce air pollutants.

A low-NOx boiler is an eco-friendly boiler that improves combustion by installing a burner with a high nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction effect and increases energy efficiency by absorbing and recycling the high-temperature heat released during exhaust gas emission.

It has 12% higher energy efficiency than a regular boiler and reduces nitrogen oxide emissions, which are the cause of fine dust, by more than 80%.

The household low-NOx boilers to be supported are products certified by the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute with an evaporation capacity of less than 0.1 tons per hour or a heat output of 61,900 kcal.

Ulju-gun will accept applications from the 14th to March 4th and will prioritize support for 1,755 units, with plans to promote a second support project if additional funds are secured.

Building owners or tenants authorized by the owners who replace old household regular boilers with low-NOx boilers in 2022 will receive 100,000 KRW per boiler, and low-income households will receive a subsidy of 600,000 KRW.

Priority will be given to those using boilers manufactured before December 31, 2012, which are over 10 years old, and among boilers manufactured after January 1, 2013, priority will be determined by the earliest manufacturing date.

Since condensate occurs when using low-NOx boilers, applicants must inquire with the manufacturer or supplier about the installation of condensate piping before applying for support.

When applying for the subsidy, applicants must submit photos and installation confirmation documents proving that the low-NOx boiler was installed in 2022, and only applications received by registered mail within the application period will be accepted.

If the payment requirements are met, subsidies will be deposited within 30 days from the date of installation confirmation submission for pre-applications, or within 30 days from the notification of selection for post-applications.

For more details, check the public notice on the Open Administration bulletin board on the Ulju-gun website or contact the Environmental Resources Division of the county office for guidance.
