Foreword
A global market of environmentally sound solutions
and technologies is mainly based on services rendered
to institutional customers, companies or public institutions.
This is one of the reasons why the Government’s support can
be particularly helpful in enhancing the opportunities
for the best technologies, and why this topic is one
of the priorities of the Ministry of the Environment.
In developing countries, technology procurement
is supported by aid funds, and the countries which
offer such aid additionally support their own companies.
The development of technologies is based, inter alia, on the
results of research and development projects, and needs
substantial investment outlays. Therefore, those entities
that have enjoyed their first success should be supported,
or they should be offered substantial help in achieving such
a success.

Crystal clear water
No discharge, no waste, no problems with clean
water in the electroplating industry, applied
to aviation components. That one sentence
can describe ROVAPO technology, which allows
the production of very pure process water. ROVAPO
is a closedwater circuit technology, which
minimises the amount of energy consumed and waste
generated.
This technology is as clean as the water that
we obtain through it. ROVAPO is also characterised
by a high value of the water re-use index (more than
95%).
• This technology allows for the recovery of wastewater with
the efficiency above 98% (including the recovery of high-quality
water from sewage susceptible to biological treatment).
ROVAPO is an in-house developed solution of PP-EKO. This is a family

According to the WHO, in the period 1985-1995 so much waste (dust, sewage, garbage)
was discarded into the environment as in the previous 70 years, and nothing promises
any changes.
The ROVAPO technology has been designed for galvanic sewage. In some
cases, it may be enhanced with other components allowing it to be used
for sewage other than galvanic - pre-treated chemically and biologically

consumption costs.
Manage energy in the building via the Internet
“
In Poland, a significant potential for energy savings, and thus climate protection,
is also associated with the effective management of energy in buildings. According
to the Ecofys report - they now consume up to 40% of the total energy consumed
in the country, of which 70% is used for heating purposes. Meanwhile, improvement
in the thermal efficiency of buildings can result in a lower national energy consumption
by over 10%.

SUNEX LTD
Solar energy in a refined frame
“
“
It was calculated that a solar power plant with 10% efficiency occupying one third
of the Sahara would satisfy the energy needs of the world. A square with side length
of 70 km would be sufficient for Poland.
On June 17, 2010, the Board of the National Fund for Environmental Protection
and Water Management (NFOŚiGW) signed agreements with six banks, triggering
the programme of surcharges to bank loans for the purchase and installation
of solar collectors. NFOŚiGW proposed a 45% surcharge through banks to individuals
and housing communities not connected to district heating, for the purchase
and installation of solar collectors for heating water.

The use of clean energy does not necessarily
involve sacrifices. A solar collector, which reduces
energy costs related to heating and hot water, can also
become an ornament of a house, a multi-family
building or a public facility. SUNEX are advanced
solar panels, which unlike many other European
collectors are made from high quality stainless steel.
This feature, combined with a well-thought-out
design, ensures very high quality, aesthetic qualities

Scientists estimate that if every house in Europe had one collector, the amount

In Poland in the years 1958-1960 at the Institute of Mechanization and Electrification
of Agriculture, currently the Institute for Construction, Mechanization and Electrification
of Agriculture in Warsaw, the first attempts at building solar collectors for air heating
were made.
It was there that in 1963 the first solar collector in Poland and one of the first ones
in Europe with the surface area of 40 m2 for air heating in a green fodder and hemp

took place in Poland in 2008, the Ministry of the Environment
prepared the Greenevo project - an accelerator of green
technologies. It corresponds with the idea of the Poznan strategy
for the transfer of technologies, adopted at the end
of the summit. The strategy is to increase the effectiveness
of technology transfer through proper recognition
of the needs in countries developing in this respect. Through
the implementation of the project, the Ministry of the Environment
puts into practice the resolutions conveyed in the most
