Decarbonization is a process that aims to reduce or completely eliminate carbon dioxide production. This initiative applies in particular to sectors such as energy, industry and various types of investments. Successful decarbonization requires a shift from fossil fuels to alternative, low-emission energy sources. Such a change significantly contributes to the dynamic development of renewable energy sources, i.e. renewable energy sources.
Decarbonization - what does it mean??
Coal has been used for years as the basic medium for generating electricity. According to data from the Polish Geological Institute, in 1990 there were 70 hard coal mines operating in Poland. However, at the end of 2019, only 20 of them were active. Decarbonization of the economy is slowly becoming a fact. A major step in this direction is the goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions to 2030% of the 55 level by 1990, adopted during the recently concluded meeting of the EU Council.
Many private sector companies and public institutions are making numerous efforts to switch to renewable energy sources to adapt to the coming changes. Decarbonization of industry and the energy sector is also crucial from the point of view of implementing the assumptions of the European Green Deal, which aims to achieve climate neutrality in Europe by 2050.
In Poland, implementing this task will be extremely difficult, because our country's energy supply is still dominated by fossil fuels. According to data from 2020, the largest shares in energy supply are: coal - 40%, crude oil - 28% and natural gas - 17%. The high share of coal affects the intensity of CO2 emissions. In this respect, Poland ranks second among IEA member countries. Therefore, this is a real problem that may have a very negative impact on our economy in the near future.
Decarbonization strategy - how to reduce CO emissions2?
Faced with growing pressure, enterprises are forced to take numerous actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the minimum necessary. The development of a decarbonization strategy is supported not only by legal regulations, but also by aspects related to social responsibility and environmental protection.
Customers, contractors and investors currently place great emphasis on environmental, social and management issues. Implementing appropriate actions will have a positive impact on the company's image and thus increase its chances of achieving financial success. It is also a unique opportunity to gain an advantage over the competition and achieve a high position in the industry.
