Up to the present time renewable energy has not been intensively utilised. However, this situation is likely to change considerably in the short term, owing to European law and Poland’s renewable energy obligations. By 2010, it is expected that electricity generation from renewables (geothermal, biomass, wind and hydro) will contribute 9% of the total. Moreover, the share of biofuels in the transport sector will rise to 5.75%
