European Union regulations on emissions
European Union regulations on emissions set legal limits on the amount of pollutants—like carbon dioxide—industries and vehicles can release into the environment. These rules aim to reduce air pollution, combat climate change, and promote cleaner energy. Companies may need to adopt greener technologies, improve efficiency, or buy 'emission allowances' if they exceed limits. The EU regularly updates these standards to reflect scientific progress and environmental goals, fostering innovation and cleaner practices across member states, ultimately aiming for healthier air and a sustainable future for Europe.
