Activities
Albania / Ballsh ENERGY EFFICIANCY AT THE BALLSH REFINERY ALBANIAN REFINERY MARKETING OIL COMPANY (ARMO) Energy efficiency
The objective of the proposed project activity is to reduce GHG emissions by introducing different energy efficiency measures to the Ballsh Refinery of ARMO (Albanian Refinery Marketing Oil Company). The emission reductions are ought to be achieved by increasing energy efficiency through reducing heavy fuel oil and electricity consumption in the oil chain industry with a very high energy intensity.
Albania / Elbasan ENERGY EFFICIENCY AT ELBASAN STEELWORKS Energy efficiency
Kurum Elbasan Steel currently operates with Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology, smelting ferrous metal scrap. Globally, scrap supply moves into difficult times, a situation that puts Elbasan Steel and similar factories in vulnerable situation since there is no more adequate scrap in Albania to operate the factories at full capacity. The company has invested in leveling off environmental pollution, but the steel plant, in the long run, must shift to modern technologies and less-scrap, more pig iron or sponge iron in order to survive.
Albania / Sarande WIND FARM PROJECT ON ALBANIAN COAST Power generation
Taking into account the current conditions in Albania, it is estimated that by 2020, around 4% of the electricity generated can come from wind energy sources (i.e. some 400 GWh/year). In that respect, the priority has been given to the construction of 20 wind farms nearby 20 pumping stations, which are situated along the Adriatic cost, safeguarding the land from floods.
