Abstract

Power engineering belongs with those industry branches which put the heaviest burden on the environment. Producing electrical power involves the emission of dust and carbon and sulphur dioxide which count as major air pollutants. That is why one of the Polish and EU energy policy goals is the environmental protection against the negative effects of energetical activity connected with electrical power production through the use of renewable energy resources. Ecoogistics provides technical and organizational decisions direction to reduce the negative effects of economic activity on the environment. In this context, the production of electricity from renewable sources will be an area of interest of eco-logistics. The present work has characterized crucial documents such as The White Book – Energy for the Future: Renewable Energy Resources, and The Green Books which determine the directions of the long-term policy and specify the quantitative goals with respect to the use of renewable energy resources. Moreover, current legal documents regulating the turnover of the energy produced from unconventional and renewable resources in Poland have been presented. Especially the law from 10 April 1997 – Energy Law (Journal of Laws, 2006, issue 89, item 625) and the Law from 2 April 2004 on the change of the laws: Energy Law and The Environmental Protection Law (Journal of Laws, issue 91, item 875). Individual European countries’ energy markets differ according to the economic development specificities of those countries, their climate, numbers of citizens and diverse strategies for investments in energy resources. The work attempts also at determining the rate of development of Polish market of renewable energy resources with comparison to the EU countries. With this objective in view, following methods have been used: multidimensional comparative analysis with particular focus on the cluster analysis, building of taxonomic measure of development and determining the time delay which characterizes Polish market of renewable resources when compared to its counterparts in the analyzed countries. The database covers the 1997-2006 period and deals with such aspects as: renewable energy production with the division according to the resource it is produced from: sun, wind, water, the emission of carbon dioxide, percentage of renewable resources energy in the total use of energy, use of renewable resources of energy in different sectors (industry, services, agriculture, households, electrical power consumption). Information gathered thanks to the research can constitute the base for designing appropriate energy policy concerning the use of renewable energy resources in production of electrical power and lead to the improvement of existing sources and looking for new solutions.
