A private company responsible for verifying the greenhouse gas emissions of thermal power plants and heating plants in Bulgaria is under investigation for allegedly submitting falsified reports to the competent national authorities, the European Public Prosecutor's Office said.
The European Public Prosecutor's Office said that according to the investigation, from 2017 to date, the company knowingly submitted false data for the annual reports on greenhouse emissions produced by TPPs and heating plants in Bulgaria, in order to under-declare their emissions output, under the EU Emissions Trading System.
