Companies of the generation segment constantly monitor emissions of carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen. ENEA Capital Group applied to Polish and international regulations in this regard.
ENEA Wytwarzanie implements investments in accordance with the present and prepares for the upcoming, more stringent EU guidelines.
Monitoring and reporting system of carbon dioxide emissions makes use of the following procedures
- Monitoring procedure of CO2 emissions from the combustion of coal and biomass in ENEA Wytwrzanie – Świerże Górne
- Monitoring procedure of CO2 emissions from coal combustion (mass balance method) – Świerże Górne
- Monitoring procedure of CO2 emissions from the combustion of fuel oil in ENEA Wytwarzanie - Świerże Górne
- Monitoring procedure of CO2 emissions from flue gas desulfurization process – in ENEA Wytwarzanie - Świerże Górne
- Supervision procedure over documents and records in monitoring of CO2 emissions process - Świerże Górne
- Supervision procedure over implementation of the plan for monitoring CO2 emissions – Świerże Górne
- Risk management procedure in the monitoring of CO2 emissions process – in ENEA Wytwarzanie - Świerże Górne
- Procedure for estimating the measurement uncertainty of the data in the monitoring of CO2 emissions in ENEA Wytwarzanie - Świerże Górne
Main regulations in the managemente of greenhous gas emissions
- "Directive 2003/87/EC of 13 October 2003 establishing a trading scheme for greenhouse gas emission",
- The Act of 28 April 2011 on the greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme (Journal of Laws of 2011 No. 122, Item 695)
- "European Commission Decision of 27 April 2011 on the establishment of transitional rules for the harmonized free allocation of emission allowances across the EU under Articles. 10a of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ EU L 130, 17.5.2011, p. 1)".
- Commission Regulation (EU) No. 601/2012 of 21 June 2012 in the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and the Council.

ENEA Wytwarzanie implements measures to minimize emissions:
- modernization of high pressure steam generator for turbines 13K225 of units No. 1-8 at ENEA Wytwarzanie (reported under the National Investment Plan) - Its purpose is to reduce the unit heat consumption by 100 kJ/kWh, increasing power by 3 MW and increasing efficiency of the steam generator part to 85% which translates directly into a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions;
- change of the refrigerant from R22 to MO59-21 in air-conditioning, which reduces the amount of used ozone-depleting substances;
- generation of "green energy" in biomass co-firing installation of units 200 MW, resulting in the burning of 243 010 Mg of biomass and emissions avoidance of 376 949 Mg of carbon dioxide;
- replacement of the electrostatic precipitator at unit No. 8 of 200 MW – aim of those activities was to maintain the flue gas dust removal efficiency of above 99%;
- in connection with a necessity to adapt to the requirements of the industrial Emissions Directive (IED), the company is building a fourth flue gas desulphurization plant (IOSIV), which provides 100 percent of desulfurization. Furthermore, the company also implements development of catalytic denitrification system for Units No. 4-8 of 200 MW..
