Mandatory KOBIZE reporting
Professional support from EKOKONSULT
For many businesses, annual reporting to the National Centre for Emissions Balancing and Management (KOBIZE) presents a significant challenge and legal obligation. At EKOKONSULT, we offer comprehensive support in this area, ensuring compliance with regulations and minimizing the risk of errors.
What is a KOBIZE report and who is it for?
A KOBIZE report is a mandatory annual statement concerning greenhouse gas emissions and other substances into the air, as well as information on generated waste and fuel/energy consumption. The obligation to prepare and submit a KOBIZE report applies to practically all entities conducting business activities that, in any way, affect emissions into the atmosphere or waste management.
The catalogue of obligated entities is broad and includes, among others, companies that:
Own and operate installations:
- Boiler rooms, heating furnaces, heaters (combustion of fuels: coal, gas, heating oil).
- Power generators, aggregates.
- Welding shops, paint shops.
- Drying rooms, bakeries, smokehouses.
- Petrol stations (emissions from fuel distribution).
- Underground garages (exhaust emissions).
- Any technological processes where substances are released into the air.
Have a fleet of company vehicles:
- Company cars, trucks, construction machinery.
- Even individual vehicles used in business activities may generate a fuel consumption reporting obligation.
Generate waste:
- The KOBIZE report also requires providing information on the mass of generated waste (although the main purpose is emissions).
Consume fuel:
- This applies to both fuel combustion in installations and transport fuel consumption.
Conduct office activities:
- Yes, even offices heated by gas or using electricity (related to indirect emissions) may be subject to KOBIZE obligations, especially if they have their own heat sources or significant fuel consumption.
Remember!
Even small emission sources, such as burning fuels for heating, using air conditioning, or using company cars, are subject to this requirement. The key is not exceeding emission thresholds, but the fact of possessing any emission sources.
