EU Rules Out Climate Funding For Polish Ghost Coal Plants
From EurActiv
A Brussels ruling has frozen billions of euros in free carbon allowances that Poland was claiming for 30 high-emitting but as yet non-existent coal plants, under the little known ”10c derogation” from the EU”s Emission Trading System.
A EurActiv investigation earlier this month revealed that one of the 30 plants – Leczna, near the Ukrainian border – was a phantom installation, currently being used by local farmers to grow maize crops.
