In 2027, the emission trade system will be expanded, among others for transport and buildings. The new fee will be covered by households, which will pay additional fees, paying for refueling cars or heating.
As T&P calculated, new fees can bring EUR 300 billion in the entire Union during the first five years.
As the director of the Warsaw branch of T&O t & E Adam Guibourgé-Chietwertyński told PAP, influence from ETS2 for Poland at this time can amount to EUR 30 billion, with up to EUR 6.5 billion our country from wealthier Member States.
However, the organization drew attention to the burden of what new fees may be for less wealthy households. At a price of 55 euros for a ton of carbon dioxide, we will pay an additional about 7 euros – i.e. almost PLN 30 – by refueling a car such as VW Polo.
“However, even at an ETS price of 55 euros per ton of gasoline prices, they would remain below the average from the last 20 years after the inflation took into account” – it was written in the report.
The need to pay additional fees can make ETS2 unpopular. To avoid this, T&O appealed in the report that half of the receipts from new fees would go back to the households.
“It is important that these billions do not dissolve in the general budget“-said Guibourgé-Chietwerterian. The transfer of half of the receipts from ETS2 to subsidies would, according to him, would protect the lower two-thirds of societies from price raising.
“The rest should be used for investments that permanently reduce emissions, such as improvement of access to public transport or price -available electric cars, in particular in areas with the problem of transport exclusion “ He added.

T & E also pointed out that in trade of emissions prices for a ton of carbon dioxide can be significantly influenced. To avoid jumping fees, it should be – according to the report – a reform to maintain prices at a maximum level of up to 55 euros per ton of CO2.
