This paper examines the main determinants of biomass market development from a regional perspective in the context of current EU climate and energy policy. The EU’s targeting of climate neutrality implies a new, multifaceted role for agriculture as a producer of energy resources. The challenge is to orient production to support the sustainable development of the circular economy. The possibility of using agricultural waste as a type of energy raw material aligns with a holistic approach to product management. The use of agricultural biomass as an energy raw material can enable increased energy self-sufficiency and reduced dependence on imported fuels among Poland’s regions and an increase in the country’s energy security. The aim of the study is to identify barriers to and opportunities for the development of the agricultural biomass market. The empirical section presents survey data from interviews with farm owners in the Polish province with the highest agricultural biomass potential, located in a region with one of the largest opencast mines in Europe. The estimated parameters of a logit model indicate that the logistical aspects of raw material collection and organization and a lack of knowledge of biomass are the main barriers to biomass development on the supply side.
Rozdział dotyczy zazielenia konsumpcji. Rozważania obejmują krytyczną analizę literatury, prezentację studiów przypadków oraz nowych trendów, które czynią konsumpcję bardziej zieloną. W Europejskim Zielonym Ładzie kwestie dotyczące konsumpcji zostały poruszone wielokrotnie i odnoszą się do różnych sfer aktywności nabywczej gospodarstw domowych, takich jak przechodzenie na czystą energię, zaangażowanie w GOZ, działania przewidziane w strategii „Od pola do stołu”. Sukces w zazielenianiu konsumpcji wymaga odpowiedniej edukacji oraz wsparcia od strony instytucjonalnej.
