EMISSIONS: Poland Seeks EU ETS 2 Delay to 2030

EMISSIONS

Poland wants to delay the introduction of the EU ETS 2 scheme by three years until 2030, sources told Bloomberg. 

  • Poland, instead, aims for a phased introduction of the Social Climate Fund, which is due to start in 2026 to support vulnerable groups to navigate the energy transition – funded by revenues from carbon auctions.
  • Between 2026 and 2030, member states could leverage the Fund to support households and SME’s, with the aim to replace gas-coal and oil-fired power systems before the new market comes into effect, the sources said.
  • The start date of the ETS 2 scheme has already faced criticism from Slovakian and Czech politicians amid concerns that the costs could further raise energy prices.
