Trend.sk: The Union is not giving up on the idea of a green future. Although it will increase prices for housing and travel

Kateřina Davidová, who leads our climate research team, explains to TREND the possible risks of the new European standards. In the interview, she also adds the reasons why the EU insists on its green policy.

"From 2027 − or from 2028, if energy prices are significantly higher − fuel and fuel suppliers will be required to purchase emission allowances based on how many emissions the given fuel produces during combustion. Until now, charging for emissions mainly concerned large energy and industrial enterprises, now the situation will be more balanced."
