As required The European Union, by 2034 free CO2 emanation allowances will be full withdrawn and cement plants will gotta equip themselves with CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) to reduce the emissions of twocarbon monoxide. The manufacture calls for government support and the creation of an appropriate legal and infrastructure framework.
CCS technology – a revolution that costs hundreds of millions of dollars
EU climate requirements mean that by 2034 all cement plants will be required to implement CO2 capture and retention technologies. Each bet will should be allocated from $400 to $500 millionand the full investment process will take time from 8 to 10 years.
In practice CCS means building second, parallel plant next to an existing cement plant. The manufacture emphasizes that with specified immense costs and long time of investment State support is needed and make an appropriate legislative and infrastructure framework.
Will Polish cement plants divide the destiny of the coal sector?
Concerns besides concern possible effects on the competitiveness of plants in Poland. Experts indicate that cement plants can divide the destiny of the coal sector, which has already been heavy charged with CO2 emissions charges. For example, Jastrzębska Węglowa Company recorded a failure of PLN 7.2 billion in 2024.
Industry calls on the government: "We request urgent action"
Cement Producers Association sent open letter to Prime Minister Donald Tusk and climate and improvement ministerswhere it demands urgent action. The manufacture expects, among others:
- inclusion of CCS technology in the 2030 National Energy and Climate Plan,
- Amendment of the Energy Policy of Poland until 2040,
- introduction of rules to enable the construction of pipelines for CO2 transport,
- sanctioning the position of carbon capture as a productWhich will make it easier to store.
The fresh ETS2 charges will hit not only manufacture but besides households
Industrial price increases will besides be affected new ETS trading system2, which will apply from 2027 and will cover the transport and construction sectors. This means additional CO2 charges.
The average household emits approx. 6 tonnes of CO2 per yearwhich will translate into additional cost approx. PLN 1.2 1000 per year. As indicated by the Polish Chamber of Commerce of Coal Vendors (PIGSW), "If not for ETS charges, we could have practically the cheapest current in Europe, with ETS charges we have almost the most expensive".
Will Poland make it to the EU deadline?
The cement manufacture emphasizes that only at active State participation it will be possible to keep competitiveness and accomplish EU climate objectives. EU aims to accomplish issue neutrality by 2050, but without appropriate support, Polish establishments may have difficulty gathering these deadlines.
Will the government take action before it's besides late?
