What specific emission reductions has Poland achieved in its industrial sector, and what are the immediate implications for its energy policy?

Poland houses some of the EU's highest-emitting industrial facilities, including the Belchatow power plant, which generates up to 20% of Poland's electricity from lignite coal. However, significant emission reductions have been achieved since the 1990s, exceeding 93% for sulfur dioxide, 66% for nitrogen oxides, and 99% for dust.

What are the immediate consequences of disinformation campaigns targeting EU climate and energy policies?

European ministers voiced concerns over rising disinformation campaigns targeting climate and energy policies, citing examples like the false narrative about Brussels banning bacon-flavored crisps, which actually stemmed from a regulation on eight smoky flavorings. These campaigns, often politically motivated, aim to hinder the EU's energy transition, a process ministers see as beneficial to all.
