The subject is designed as an introduction to the issues of production ecology in the context of contemporary demands for environmental protection and the reduction of emissions of pollutants. No special knowledge or skills beyond the scope of regular high school studies are required to complete the subject. 

Completed project on a selected topic, up to a total of 40 points, including:
- Project presentation: maximum of 20 points
- Research for the project: maximum of 20 points

Final exam in written form: maximum of 60 points.

Conditions for successfully completing the subject are determined annually by the updated decree of the subject guarantor. 

The graduate of the subject will gain a comprehensive overview of the production of major greenhouse gases and pollutants from the environment of electrical engineering production. Within the subject, the student will become acquainted with significant sources of pollution both from the field of electrical engineering production and directly from the production and processing of electrical energy (emissions and pollution directly related to the production of electricity in thermal power plants). The subject graduate will also learn to define individual toxic substances and greenhouse gases along with the main mechanisms contributing to global warming. Concepts such as sustainability, product life cycle, linear vs. circular economy, carbon neutrality, Green Deal, FitFor55, COP conferences, Kyoto and Montreal Protocols, etc., will be introduced and explained within the subject. The graduate of the subject will thus acquire the basic knowledge necessary to understand the broader context in the field of production ecology and associated environmental protection.
