Poland - a developing market for biomass?

Biomass could meet an increasingly significant proportion of Poland's energy needs over the next decade or so, if appropriate policies are developed, and local and international organisations seize the opportunities and exploit these extensive renewable resources. And, with Poland in the first wave of countries seeking membership of the European Union, a pro-active approach to renewables could counter concerns about Poland's environmental credentials. The author looks at the nature of the Polish energy sector and considers the prospects for biomass. (author)
