Background information

The State Environmental Fund of the Czech Republic (SEF) was designated by the Emissions Trading Act as the recipient of funds from the Modernisation Fund. The SEF thus plays the role of an intermediary for subsidies for this financial mechanism. Financing of individual measures from the Modernisation Fund is carried out through eight programmes and sub-programmes, which set out specific forms and conditions of support. The total amount available to the Czech Republic depends on the prices on the emission allowance market. The current estimate for the years 2021 - 2030 is CZK 380 billion.
