- in case of hazardous waste, the eliminator of such waste implements over the course of 3 years measures, which allow the former hazardous waste to be treated as non hazardous waste;
- in case of hazardous waste, which technically cannot be recycled, the eliminator of the waste builds a waste disposal site for such waste over the course of 3 years.
The extent to which the pollution charge is substituted shall not exceed the cost of the environmental protection measures.
In certain cases the applicant has to undertake energy efficiency measures for substitution. Subsidy could be granted up to 65% of eligible costs.

At its inception, in 2013, total free allowances will not exceed 70% of the verified greenhouse gases emissions in the period 2005 2007 from electricity installations for the amount corresponding to the gross final national consumption of Estonia. The total transitional free allowances are then planned to be steadily decreased by 10% each year, with free allowances being thus phased out completely in 2020. The quantity of transitional free emission allowances will be deducted from the quantity of allowances that Estonia will auction.
