Environmental Protection Act - Poland carbon tax

The Poland carbon tax (Stawki opłat za korzystanie ze środowiska, as applied to GHGs) is part of the Environmental Protection Act (Prawo ochrony srodowiska), which taxes different kinds of environmental emissions such as CO2 and other GHG emissions, dust, sewage and waste. The price increases each year in line with inflation. The tax complements the EU ETS, capturing emissions from fuel use not covered by the ETS.
