Abstract: Under the Kyoto protocol, many countries and international communities in general have ambitious targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas (mainly CO2) emissions and global warming. Globally, industrial primary energy use and conversion for electricity and heat are responsible for 46% of greenhouse gas emissions. In Europe, the introduction of the Energy Efficiency Directive in 2012 has led to an increase in the number of Energy Efficiency Obligations - EEOs (also known as White Certificates or energy efficiency resource standards across Europe). 12 EU Member States (Austria, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, UK) have active EEOs with another four due to start shortly (Croatia, Greece, Latvia and the Netherlands) considering their introduction. Due to this fact, in Poland, pro-efficiency investments are gaining in popularity.
