In 2024, the amount of incentives for the implementation of measures related to energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy sources (RES) in non-ETS industry amounted to EUR 1.1 million, i.e. 18 % less than the previous year. Only Eco Fund incentives are considered in this amount, as the projects co-financed under the Operational Programme for the Implementation of the European Cohesion Policy in the 2014–2020 Period (OP ECP) were not prepared in such a way that the monitoring of effects related to climate targets would be possible.

Bad

The share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the use of fuels in industry amounted to 12,8% in 2023, which was 3.6 percentage points behind the annual indicative target value. The 2023 indicative target was thus not achieved. In order to achieve the target of 30% of RES in the use of fuels in industry in 2030, the share of RES will have to increase by 18 percentage points or by about approximately 3 percentage points per year.

Bad

F-gas emissions from leaks from stationary installations increased again in 2024 due to a significantly higher use of refilled refrigerants. This represented a significant deviation from the indicative target for reducing emissions from the use of F-gases under the EU F-gases Regulation. Compared to 2015, F-gas emissions from leaks were 8% lower in 2024, while, according to the F-gases Regulation, they should have been lower by 69%.

Good

The amount of landfilled biodegradable waste decreased rapidly up to 2013, after which the reduction stopped. In 2016 and 2017, as a result of upgrading the infrastructure for mechanical biological treatment of waste before disposal, the amount decreased significantly again, and in 2018‒2020 it was almost zero. In the period 2016–2020 the amount was significantly lower than the target in 2020. The main measures to achieve this reduction are separate collection of waste and mechanical biological treatment of mixed municipal waste.

Good

Energy efficiency in industry improved significantly between 2005 and 2023, with a 43% increase in 2023 compared to 2005. The chemical industry, machinery and equipment manufacturing, non-ferrous metals, and paper manufacturing contributed the most to the improvement, while steel production and non-metallic mineral products contributed the least.

Bad

GHG emissions in industry decreased by 7,1% in 2023 compared to the previous year. Since 2019, a trend of decreasing GHG emissions has been observed in this sector, mainly due to the reduction of GHG emissions in the ETS subsector of the industry sector.

Neutral

In 2023, 65% of the population was connected to municipal wastewater treatment systems with secondary or tertiary treatment, which do not produce GHG emissions. Compared to the previous year, the share increased slightly, and compared to 2017, it rose by 3.5 percentage points.
