Published on 10/31/2026 at 00:16 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSWhat Qemetica's investment means
- QEMETICA is converting a coal-fired boiler at its Inowroclaw soda plant to biomass.
- The project supports the group's energy-transition strategy and is scheduled to enter service in the second half of 2028.
- Execution of the conversion will be a key operational milestone for the Polish chemicals group.
QEMETICA, the group behind the former Ciech business, signed an agreement on August 13, 2026, to convert a coal-fired boiler at its soda plant in Inowroclaw to biomass. The contract with a consortium of Mostostal Zabrze Realizacje Przemyslowe and Sumitomo SHI FW is worth PLN 299.99 million, according to QEMETICA.
Energy transition reaches Inowroclaw
The company expects the conversion to reduce coal consumption at the site by about 100,000 tonnes a year and cut carbon dioxide emissions by roughly 200,000 tonnes annually. Construction is scheduled to start in 2026, with commissioning planned for the second half of 2028.
QEMETICA also secured PLN 99.9 million from Poland's National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management for the project. For investors, the timetable makes construction progress and the eventual start-up important milestones for assessing the group's energy-cost and emissions strategy.
Portfolio remains broadly diversified
The biomass project is part of a wider transformation agenda rather than a standalone product launch. QEMETICA operates across soda, salt, silica, agro solutions, polyurethane foams, silicates and glass, with energy efficiency and emissions reduction identified as long-term priorities.
Business and competitive position
QEMETICA is a Poland-based European chemicals group serving industrial, construction, agricultural and consumer markets with soda ash, salt, silica, crop-protection products, foams, silicates and glass.
