The European Union’s carbon policy, designed to prevent climate change, is a key determinant of the bloc’s energy policy, along with the security of energy supply and market liberalization. While the EU’s energy security agenda is beyond dispute, its carbon policy priority can be questioned in two ways, according to Szablewski. First, the soundness of the policy’s fundamentals raises some serious doubts, and second, the policy can be questioned in the context of its extensive economic implications, especially for the coal-based power sector. Considering that 95 percent of Poland’s electricity is produced from coal, the latter issue is too rarely raised in the ongoing debate on the future of Poland’s power sector, the author says. His analysis focuses on available mechanisms and means of supporting the deployment of low-carbon technologies, which, Szablewski says, are grossly uncompetitive with regard to the traditional coal and gas generation technology. The paper aims to show how low-carbon technologies can be deployed in an effective and economically efficient manner-an issue that has been hotly discussed in international research reports over the past few years. The analysis starts with sketching out the main points of the key mechanisms of supporting low-carbon technologies, i.e. picking winners and level playing field. It then focuses on two economic instruments applied in this area-carbon tax and cap and trade schemes. The conclusion is that there is a conflict between economic efficiency and political considerations.

Currently, Greenhouse Gas Emissions are the main reason of the global warming threat. Carbon sequestration by the forests plays the important role in reducing CO2 emissions. Therefore, the environmental policy of the state to reduce greenhouse gases should first of all focus on the development of forestry. But at the same time the environmental policy depends on the tax policy of the state and is significantly different in developed countries and in countries with transition economies.

Dążeniem zrównoważonego rozwoju jest zapewnienie społeczeństwu długofalowej wizji rozwoju. Działania prowadzące do spełnienie bieżących potrzeb mogą mieć krótkoterminowy horyzont czasowy, mimo wszystko zawsze muszą uwzględniać przy tym perspektywę długoterminową. Zrównoważony rozwój jest myślą złożoną, obejmującą całościowe obszary działania człowieka aż po szczebel lokalny i dąży do podniesienia jakości życia zarówno obecnych, jak i przyszłych pokoleń. Aby zmienić sposób korzystania z energii, najskuteczniej byłoby zwiększać efektywność energetyczną i opłacalność jej różnych źródeł poprzez wysoką cenę energii z paliw kopalnianych. Jak już wspomniano, punktem wyjścia tego systemu jest podatek węglowy, nakładany na paliwa kopalniane w wysokości proporcjonalnej do powstających przy spalaniu paliwa emisji dwutlenku węgla. Podniosłoby to cenę energii z tego źródła, zachęcając do poprawy efektywności energetycznej i zastąpienia paliw kopalnianych alternatywnymi źródłami energii.

Pursuit of sustainable development is to ensure the long term vision of society. Measures to meet the current needs can have a short-term time horizon, after all, must always take into account that the long-term perspective. Sustainable development is a complex thought, covering comprehensive areas of human activity to the local level and strives to improve the quality of life for both current and future generations, To change the use of energy, the most effective would be to increase energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the various sources by the high price of energy from fossil fuels. As already mentioned, the starting point of this system is a carbon tax, levied on fossil fuels in proportion to the produced by combustion of fuel carbon dioxide emissions. Would raise the price of energy from this source, encouraging energy efficiency and replace fossil fuels with alternative energy sources.
