Genesis and legal status of the guarantee document of the origin of energy from renewable sources, as a document confirming the environmental footprint, in the light of national regulations. Comments de lege ferenda

Summary/Abstract: The main reason for the development and support of energy production from renewable sources is the energy and climate policy of the European Union focused on increasing the efficiency of the use of available resources. This is particularly important in the context of the “3 × 20%” package, which provides for a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, increase of energy efficiency and renewable energy growth at 20% in 2020, and in Poland to a level of at least 15%. The aim of this article is to analyze and evaluate legal regulations concerning the institution guaranteeing the origin of energy from renewable sources by reference both to European Union law and national legislation. Particular attention will be given to the guarantee institution itself, the origin of energy from renewable sources, as a sui generis element for supporting the production of energy from renewable sources. In the comments de lege ferenda, the author wishes to draw attention to the growing potential of the institution of guarantees of origin, in particular as a document confirming the environmental footprint. The author wishes to point out that the institution of guarantees of origin is a document that not only allows the environmental effect to be confirmed by reducing the so-called “Carbon footprint”, but also a potential element of support for producers of energy from renewable sources, which is not qualified as public aid.
