THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION OF BIOMASS FOR ENERGY PURPOSES IN POLAND.

On the European markets, Poland is seen as a country with a high energy biomass potential. In the long run, gaseous biofuels, such as biogas and biomethane, will continue to be basic products obtained from energy agriculture. Biogas production in Poland should become one of the leading solutions for meeting the obligation of generating 'green' electricity and securing energy safety. It will be possible to increase the employment rate and wealth among farmers and in rural areas by producing biofules. However, for the future development of the biofuel production and use, it will be essential to solve the question of an optimal selection of raw materials that will ensure the maximum productivity, the lowest costs and the smallest emission of harmful substances to the atmosphere in all production processes. The aim of the study was to present possible to obtain raw materials from agricultural production used for energy purposes, as well as demonstrating the growing role and importance of renewable energy from agriculture in the energy balance of the country.
