In 2025, 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 1.7 million. This was 53% higher than in the previous year. This amount only takes into account the incentives of the Eco Fund, as other programmes currently do not allow monitoring of the effects related to climate targets for the co-financed projects in industry.

The share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the use of fuels in industry amounted to 10,7% in 2024, which was 7.1 percentage points behind the annual indicative target value. The 2024 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 19.3 percentage points or by about approximately 3.2 percentage points per year.

F-gas emissions from leaks from stationary installations decreased in 2025 mainly due to lower use of refilled refrigerants. Despite the reduction distance to the indicative target for reducing emissions from the use of F-gases under the EU F-gases Regulation remained large. Compared to 2015, F-gas emissions from leaks were 23% lower in 2025, while, according to the F-gases Regulation, they should have been lower by 76%.

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 2024, with a 45% increase in 2024 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.

Good

GHG emissions from industry decreased by 1.7% in 2024 compared with the previous year. Since 2019, an overall downward trend in GHG emissions can be observed in this sector. Emissions from the ETS subsector increased by 6.1% in 2024, following five consecutive years of decline. By contrast, GHG emissions from the non-ETS subsector of industry decreased by 11.2% compared with 2023. In 2024, the ETS subsector accounted for 59.5% of total GHG emissions from industry, while the non-ETS subsector accounted for 40.5%.

Neutral

In 2024, 67% of the population was connected to municipal wastewater treatment systems with secondary or tertiary treatment that cause minimal GHG emissions. Compared to the previous year, the share increased by almost 2 percentage points. Compared to 2017, the share increased by 5.4 percentage points.
