Czechs on the way to decarbonisation
The Czech Coal Commission is to prepare three decarbonisation scenarios for the period between 2030 and 2050. A rapid path would mean a reduction in coal use as early as 2030 to 2035, a moderate from 2035 to 2045 and a slower path between 2045 and 2050. The recommendations will be published in September so that the government can decide by the end of 2020.
