Coal and CO2 emissions - Poland
Recommend on Google+
Almost all of Poland’s power comes from coal and much of the cheap brown coal is very expensive in terms of CO2 emissions.
This level of dependency on a dirty fossil fuel has been headlined this week as the climate change conference in Poland confronts how best to cut emissions. The BBC environment correspondent David Shukman has been at Poland’s largest mine in Belchatow and his report provides a good resource on the issue of how best to encourage some of Europe’s emerging market economies to lower their emissions.
