The end of 2021 brings other good news for the Jiu Valley micro-region. The Ministry of Energy publicly announced that Paroseni CHPP, in the first part of 2022, will start the tests for replacing hard-coal with “Arbacore” pellets produced by the Norwegian company Arbaflame.
To this aim, the cooperation involves the replacement of hard-coal, the basic combustion fuel in Paroșeni CHPP with the woody pellets produced by Arbaflame, and in the long run, a pellet production factory will be built in Romania, probably in Jiu Valley. The resource for the “Arbacore” pellets will be green biomass, which according to the Minister of Energy will contribute to reducing CO2 emissions by more than 90%.
