In Grajewo, a town in north-eastern Poland, a wood-fired boiler has been realised in 2011 with support of European Union (EU) incentives.

About 43,000 MWh is produced annually from 13,000 tonnes untreated and clean virgin wood chips, produced from forestry and sawmill activities, to provide district heating to the city district heating network. The steam boiler is designed to work with a 0.6 MWe steam engine to generateelectric power either for internal use or to the grid. A well-planned maintenance program avoids unnecessary down time or costly repairs.
