Assessment of the air pollution tax and emission concentration limits in the Czech
Republic
This paper assesses the design of the air pollution tax in conjunction with a stringency
analysis of the emission concentration limits in the Czech Republic. The analysis
draws upon a detailed database containing environmental reporting by industrial stationary
sources. The assessment of the emission concentration limits focuses on analysing
the shift of the statutory limits between 2013 and 2017 and the corresponding real-life
measured concentration on individual source basis. It provides an assessment of stringency
of the air protection instrument and also of the vintage differentiation applied in
the form of transitional schemes. The stringency analysis of the emission concentration
limits stringency is related to the air pollution tax relief provision.
