00:00Poland does not have a nuclear power plant yet.
00:04We are also not in a position to develop large-scale hydropower.
00:09We also cannot fully rely on import of the energy
00:13because here we are talking about electricity and heat as well.
00:17Poland has one of the biggest district heating network in the EU.
00:21So in this transitional period we still need to rely on combustion plants.
00:26The implementation of the IED was a kind of two-fold exercise
00:31because the first important milestone was achieved in 2016.
00:37And already back then, for example, emission of sulfur dioxide dropped by 40%.
00:43We also had to implement the BET conclusions.
00:47And when you compare data from 2023 with data on emissions from 2016,
00:55so already those reduced.
00:57You can see that, for example, in terms of dust, emission dropped by 80%.
01:02That's why now we work intensively to transpose revised IED,
01:07so IED 2.0 to the national legislation,
01:11because for sure it will bring further emission reduction.
01:15And here we will also have to work on other aspects,
01:20like, for example, increase uptake on innovation by the industry,
01:24and also by providing incentives for the operators
01:30to transform towards climate-neutral and circular economy.
01:35It's incredible.
