“…The development of RES in Poland depends on the level of public awareness in all consumer groups. The results of a study by Maciaszczyk et al [51] showed that there is a relationship between the respondents' age and education and their readiness to consider renewable energy issues and implement them in their households. Awareness of the importance of RES increases slightly with the age of the respondents and their level of education.…”

Renewable energy sources are intended to support the decarbonisation process of the Polish economy. Since 2005, the share of renewable energy in total electricity in Poland has been increasing. The number of photovoltaic panels installed by prosumers as part of micro-installations increased particularly strongly. The aim of this research is an assessment of the impact of government programmes on the development of RES micro-installations in Poland. A regression discontinuity design was used in the analysis. It is a model from the group of average impact effect models used in evaluation studies. The added value of the presented study is its application in the assessment of the impact of implemented programmes on the number and output of micro-installations in Poland. In the study, it is shown that there had been no increase in the number and output of micro-installations at the adopted threshold (2019Q4). On the other hand, there was a sharp increase in them over the whole period starting from 2019Q4.

“…Considering the years of study, plants in the third year of vegetation had the most considerable length of shoots, which resulted from a greater water availability in the growing season of 2014 (the year with the highest annual rainfall throughout the research period). RCG is a species occurring in humid habitats [14,22]; therefore, when grown on sandy soils with deep groundwater, water availability may be a factor limiting the growth of RCG. The average shoot lengths during studies (Table 3) were slightly longer than in the case of the RCG cultivation (avg.…”

“…In Poland, biomass is currently viewed as the most promising avenue of renewable energy, owing to its wide availability and cost-effectiveness due to favourable climatic and habitat conditions. Biomass, along with solar and wind energy, exhibits a substantial growth potential [12][13][14]. Biomass can be utilised as a solid fuel, including wood chips and pellets, or it can be processed into gaseous and liquid fuels [12,15].…”

“…Due to its yield, extensive root system, and drought resistance, RCG may be a promising energy crop for cultivation on light and marginal soils in temperate climate conditions [18,22,32]. The cultivation of RCG requires fertilisation with NPK in the establishment year and subsequent years to optimise its yield [14,22]. In the case of RCG cultivation, nitrogen fertilisation is recommended [18,22,28,29], to which plants react strongly and improve the quality and size of their yield, which are, among others, related to morphological features such as the number, length, and thickness of shoots.…”

Reed canary grass (RCG) is a native perennial grass with a wide range of uses that naturally occurs in moist habitats. The conducted research indicates the possibilities of RCG cultivation outside natural, humid habitats in monoculture on sandy soils in temperate climates to obtain biomass and seeds. The influence of two factors was analysed: (1) fertilisation with compost from urban greenery in doses of 0, 10, and 20 Mg·ha−1 and (2) mineral nitrogen fertilisation in doses of 0, 40, 80, and 120 kg·ha−1. Compost fertilisation (10 and 20 Mg·ha−1) increased dry matter yields in all years of the study, by 12.1% and 41.0%, respectively. Also, nitrogen fertilisation in doses of 40, 80, and 120 kg·ha−1 increased dry matter yield by 26.8%, 41.6%, and 65.0%, respectively. When harvesting RCG plants for energy biomass at their stage of full maturity, a significant seed yield of 242 to 600 kg·ha−1 can also be obtained in the first three years, while in the fourth year of use, the seed yield was almost three times lower (90–158 kg·ha−1). The obtained results indicate that, in sandy soils, the use of compost fertilisation in RCG cultivation can partially or entirely replace mineral fertilisation and ensure high and stable yields. An additional benefit may be the achievement of a high seed yield in the initial years of cultivation. The use of organic fertilisers and the independence from mineral fertilisers can significantly increase the profitability of bioenergy crops.

Hydrogen can be considered an innovative fuel that will revolutionize the energy sector and enable even more complete use of the potential of renewable sources. The aim of the paper is to present the challenges faced by companies and economies that will produce and use hydrogen. Thanks to the use of hydrogen in the energy, transport and construction sectors, it will be possible to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. By 2050, global demand for hydrogen will increase to 614 million metric tons a year, and thanks to the use of hydrogen in energy, transport and construction, it will be possible to achieve climate neutrality. Depending on the method of hydrogen production, the processes used and the final effects, several groups can be distinguished, marked with different colors. It is in this area of obtaining friendly hydrogen that innovative possibilities for its production open up. The costs of hydrogen production are also affected by network fees, national tax systems, availability and prices of carbon capture, utilization, and storage installations, energy consumption rates by electrolyzers and transport methods. It is planned that 1 kg of hydrogen will cost USD 1. The study used the desk research method, which made it possible to analyze a huge amount of descriptive data and numerical data.
