PKN ORLEN activities and their impact on the climate and environment
In the reported period, PKN ORLEN did not recycle iron
sulphate or iron (III) sulphate.
Transfer of hazardous waste in 2010 was as follows:
• domestic transport:
– for recycling – 154.790 Mg,
– for neutralisation – 584.952 Mg,
• to other countries for recycling – 4,128.937 Mg.
This applied both to waste generated in 2010 and waste

4.5. Greenhouse gas emissions
In the National CO 2
Emission Allowance Allocation Plan for
2008 – 2012, PKN ORLEN received the total of 32,895,735
allowances for the Refinery, CHP and Petrochemical
Cracking units operated by the Company.
Utilisation of the allocated allowances is calculated based
on reports made as for 31 December 2010 and verified
by an authorised auditor.
Even though emissions from the CHP units exceeded
the amount of allocated allowances, the missing allowances
may be transferred from the units that have excess
allowances. Consequently, PKN ORLEN will avoid buying
the missing allowances on the market.
In 2010, the Company obtained decisions modifying
the permissions to participate in the CO 2
emission allowance
trading scheme for the CHP and Refinery units – valid
until 14 December 2019. The modification concerned
the CO 2
emission monitoring method.
