According to the article published by the Rzeczpospolita daily, the Ministry of Climate and the Environment, as part of the settlement of the annual revenue from the sale of carbon dioxide emission allowances, submitted a report to the European Commission on the sale of 2021, half of which should be allocated to environmental purposes. The daily reports that PLN 25.3 billion was transferred to the budget last year. The report shows that the money earned by the state was not spent on investment for specific purposes.
Instead of the energy transformation, the government allocated funds, e.g. for the development of nuclear energy, compensation for energy-intensive companies, or for the company ElectroMobility Polska, which creates the electric car brand. This does not fall within the scope of the directive. Investments were also made in the “Clean Air” program, which includes replacement of coal stoves with newer ones, which is a dubious connection with the directive’s assumptions.
