Entities emitting CO2 are obliged to take appropriate steps to protect the environment. The Environmental Protection Law and the Greenhouse Gas and Other Substances Emissions Management System Act contain provisions and regulations regarding the above-mentioned compound. Owners of enterprises responsible for introducing CO2 into the environment must: obtain an administrative decision regarding the use of the environment, prepare annual emission reports, pay environmental fees, and submit appropriate reports. Research conducted among domestic enterprises from the SME sector showed that: the vast majority of surveyed enterprises use fuel in the form of hard coal, eco-pea coal and eco-pea coal for heating and generating hot water. The second dominant heating source is natural gas. Other fuels used are fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gas. Wood is used least often for heating. Progressing technology means that entrepreneurs are increasingly equipping their companies with modern heating furnaces and more ecological fuels. More ecological types of fuel include natural gas or eco-pea coal. A thorough analysis of CO2 emissions in the sector of small- and medium-sized enterprises has identified the industry that needs the most demanding changes. These are poultry producers. These entrepreneurs use significant amounts of coal. They often have archaic combustion stoves. In addition, they do not pay fees for releasing gases and dust into the air for heating poultry houses. They are also exempt from submitting information in this regard. Further research in this sector will allow for a deeper understanding of the problem of CO2 emissions and how to reduce them.
