Busan Gijang-gun Promotes 'Home Eco-Friendly Boiler Support Project' for Low-Income Households
Support for Eco-Friendly Boiler Replacement, Improving Air Quality and Practicing Carbon Neutral Living
Busan Gijang-gun (Governor Jeong Jong-bok) is promoting the "2024 Household Eco-friendly Boiler Support Project," which provides subsidies to low-income households installing eco-friendly (low-NOx) boilers.
Low-NOx boilers are high-performance burners that suppress nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and increase combustion efficiency by controlling flame temperature, oxygen concentration, and shortening the residence time of combustion gases during combustion.
The support targets low-income and vulnerable groups installing (replacing) household low-NOx boilers in 2024. Boilers installed in facilities owned by the state or local governments, or in unauthorized buildings, are excluded.
This year, 114 low-income households will be supported, with a subsidy amount of 600,000 KRW per unit. Applications can be made by the homeowner, tenants with the homeowner’s consent, or boiler suppliers acting as agents.
To apply, eligible applicants must prepare the subsidy payment request form and other required documents and submit them by visiting the Gijang-gun Environmental Sanitation Division or by registered mail. From February 1, online applications will also be available on the Household Boiler Certification System website.
A Gijang-gun official stated, "Although low-NOx boilers are about 200,000 KRW more expensive than regular boilers, they save up to 130,000 KRW annually in fuel costs," and added, "We hope many residents apply not only for environmental protection but also for heating cost savings."
