Valge, J. (Ministry of the Environment, Tallinn (Estonia). Environmental management and technology department)
The present article reviews the Estonian environmental policy regarding the exploitation of the renewable energy sources. The most essential legal acts of Estonia that have influenced both people and undertakings to start using the renewable energy sources more, and their drafts, are herein glanced over. The Ministry of Environment has established a row of pollution charges for releasing pollutant substances into the ambient air as a way to encourage the use of the renewable energy sources. In this context, a sphere such as ambient air protection, and the pollution charge for releasing carbon dioxide, are of great importance. This article also contains a brief overview of the pollutant charges at present, in the past, and of the charges yet to come. At the last, this article offers information on the activities being prepared. These should give hope to all those who have started using the renewable energy sources, and a strong support henceforth to those who are about to do so in the future
