  • Geothermal energy - low-emission heating
    In 2016, the Ministry of the Environment launched a public support program for geothermal projects focused on energy use. PLN 200 million was allocated for drilling the first test wells and PLN 500 million for drilling subsequent wells and for heating infrastructure. The program of the Ministry of the Environment has several stages. The support is in the form of a subsidy and can be up to 100% of the investment costs for self-governments. Loans and capital investments are another form of support for the World Championships. In 2017, 35 applications for drilling holes and other installation work were submitted. Six cities received positive decisions in 2018. These are Koło, Lądek-Zdrój, Sieradz, Sochaczew, Szaflary, Tomaszów Mazowiecki. It is assumed that first of all geological analysis of research and development wells will be commissioned to scientific institutes. Specialists will select the most advantageous drilling locations for encountering geothermal waters. Already today, scientists have a sufficient geological and thermal database enabling the selection of places in our country with the appropriate potential of geothermal energy. The decisive factor for the presence of geothermal waters is knowledge about the porosity of individual rock beds enabling water accumulation and knowledge about their temperature.

Then, the elements that distinguish feminist social work were discussed. The article is only an introduction to the subject and certainly does not exhaust all the threads in the discussion about feminist social work.
