They want to reduce gas emissions by 90 percent. They will introduce a tax on coal and gas heating. How much will we have to pay?
"The committee today recommended a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in Europe by 2040. To achieve this, we need to increase our efforts. This will mainly be achieved through emissions reductions, but ecological transformation will also require the implementation of CO2 capture and removal technologies from the atmosphere. This is part of the European solution space, especially for heavy industry, where emissions cannot be completely eliminated. Today, we propose a new and concrete action plan to stimulate and finance this technology throughout Europe. This strategy will create a business environment for CO2 and help us strive towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050," said Wopke Hoekstra, the European Commissioner for Climate Action. CO2 storage In the Act on Emission-Neutral Industry, the Commission proposed that the EU develop at least 50 million tons of CO2 storage capacity per year by 2030. Based on the impact assessment of the EU's recommended climate target for 2040, this number will need to increase to approximately 280 million tons by 2040. The communication on emissions management in industry outlines a comprehensive political approach to achieving these goals. "Today's communication outlines a series of actions that need to be taken at the EU and national levels to enable the implementation of these technologies and the necessary infrastructure to create a unified CO2 emissions market in Europe in the coming decades. The Commission will start preparatory work on a potential future regulatory package on the transport and storage of CO2, considering issues such as market structure and costs, access by third parties, CO2 quality standards, or investment incentives for new infrastructure," reads the information. source: https://dorzeczy.pl/kraj/546648/bruksela-neutralnosc-klimatyczna-do-2050-r.html Heating tax on coal and gas Already now, the right to emit costs 100 euros per tonne of carbon dioxide. However, when the changes come into force - from January 1, 2027 - this will be associated with a new tax. For an average-sized household, it will amount to around 1,200 Polish zlotys per year, at least according to current arrangements. A tonne of CO2 is expected to cost taxpayers 45 euros. Further fees will also apply to owners of combustion-based transportation. The new tax will be included in the price of fossil fuels, which of course means their price will increase again. In the case of gas, this is expected to be up to 20%. According to data from the Central Building Emissions Authority from last year, the new regulations will affect over 7.5 million households. source: https://www.biznesinfo.pl/nadchodzi-nowy-podatek-od-ogrzewania-ile-wyniesie-i-jak-go-uniknac-zk-wak-270124"
