Seven out of ten Romanians consider pollution a major issue in Romania, but less than half would be willing to pay more for clean energy sources, according to data from a survey conducted by CIS Gaz, a company in the oil and gas industry sent on Monday to AGERPRES.
Thus, more than 65% of Romanians consider that among the first targets of these investments should be the transport and distribution network and the installations, followed by the condition of the pipelines and pipes (almost 31%), agerpres reports.
However, most of the respondents (57%) would not be willing to make investments or pay more for clean energy sources, even if 1 in 2 Romanians indicate the energy produced by solar panels as the type of energy they would prefer to use.
"Economic sustainability is a priority for companies and governments all over the planet, and rightly so. Reducing the impact on the environment is very important if we want to leave a better and cleaner world for our children. Care for the environment is part of our company's DNA, being one of the basic pillars of our development strategy," says Sebastian Calugar, general manager of CIS Gaz.
The CIS Gaz survey on Romanians' perception of energy system problems was conducted, at the national level, in June 2023 through the iVox platform, on a total sample of 1,383 Internet users in Romania. A little over 50% of the participants are men, over 48% are at least 45 years old, and over 86% live in urban areas.
CIS Gaz is a 100% private Romanian capital company, founded in 1990.
