Abstract
Smog is the result of bad energy conversion and so-called energy poverty. This problem becomes particularly severe in Poland. The article presents proposals for solving the smog problem through the use of anti-smog technologies developed at the IMP PAN in Gdańsk. The concept is based on the use of the low power electrostatic filter that can cooperate with old boilers of classes lower than 5, and in the perspective, of introducing a boiler (based on its own solution) with ultra-low emissions. In the final version the goal lies in equipping the boiler with a source of electrical generation (based on microturbines). Such a cogeneration source could be an important element of distributed power generation.
