ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES USED IN POLAND
Abstract
In connection with the implementation of European Union's directives is necessary to make use of renewable energy sources (RES). The use of these energy sources is associated with the obligation to act in accordance with the sustainable development concept. In Poland, this concept is provided in Art. 5 of the Constitution of Polish Republic. In the paper, the overall structure of primary energy production in Polish economy in comparison to the European Union was presented in period 2011-2015. The production of renewable energy by source was analysed. An increasing share of the RES in energy production was noted. This trend is in line with European Union directives. At the same time, the analysis of energy production from renewable production sources, i.e. solid biofuels, liquid biofuels, wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, hydropower and biogas, was conducted. The survey results of energy consumers regarding the use of RES were presented. On one hand high awareness of respondents in the field of environmental protection however and on the other hand low in the field of economics of energy production from renewable sources had been proved.
