34. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission allowances
The CO2 emission allowances for 2013-2020 presented below account for allowances granted pursuant to the Regulations of the Council of Ministers, as well as for other free allowances allocated by the European Commission.
Number of free CO2 emission allowances for 2013-2020 and actual CO2 emissions:
| in thousand tonnes | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Allowances allocated under the National Allocation Plan (1) | 1,766 | 1,688 | 1,652 | 1,613 | 1,576 | 1,54 | 1,505 | 1,461 | 12,801 |
| Actual CO2 emissions (2) | 1,745 | 1,875 | 1,947 | - | - | - | - | - | 5,567 |
(1) The number of free CO2 allowances in 2013–2020 as part of the National Allocation Plan (NAP) under the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of March 31st 2014 (Dz.U. of 2014, item 439) and the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of April 8th 2014 (Dz.U. of 2014, item 472), containing a list of installations covered by the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading system along with the number of allowances allocated to them. The figures also account for additional free emission allowances from the European Commission reserve, allocated in connection with the expansion of the refinery’s production capacities following the introduction of natural gas to produce hydrogen.
(2) (CO2) emissions, calculated based on the production data for the installations covered by the emission trading scheme. The data for 2015 was verified in accordance with Art. 59 of the Act on Trading in Greenhouse Gas Emission Allowances of April 28th 2011.
As at December 31st 2015, considering the proposed amount of allowances to be allocated under the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme for 2015 and the actual volume of emissions, the Group reported a deficit of allocated CO2 emission allowances, and therefore recognised a PLN 1,059 thousand provision as at December 31st 2015 (December 31st 2014: PLN 2,784 thousand). The PLN 1,059 thousand effect of the provision on EBIT (2014: PLN 1,257 thousand) is presented under Other expenses
(see Note 9.4).
For information on the risk related to prices of CO2 emission allowances, see Note 32.2.
