In the context of the urgent need to combat climate change, renewable energy sources, such as geothermal energy, play a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This study examines the ecological impact in the form of avoided emissions for five geothermal heating plants located in Poland. The analysis included emissions of CO2, SO2, NOx, CO, benzo(a)pyrene, and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), considering three reference scenarios based on conventional fuels: hard coal, high-methane natural gas, and ...
