“…The vast majority of countries have established objectives and implemented policies oriented towards increasing energy from renewable sources [35]. Additionally, they have implemented acceptable legal frameworks, as the inconsistent regulatory setting causes investor uncertainty and limits the use of contempo-rary RE technologies [36]. The implementation of RE-and EE-oriented policies requires significant participation from central and local authorities [14].…”

The study aimed to evaluate whether the regional funds allocated for energy efficiency and renewable energy are related to the quantity of air pollutants discharged and the stage of regional development, and whether the evidence of convergence of regional levels of renewable energy electricity generation can be provided. A comparative analysis of financial instrument implementation within regional programmes was conducted, with a particular focus on instruments dedicated to enhancing energy efficiency and utilising renewable energy. To verify the research hypotheses, statistical coefficients of correlation and concentration, along with trend and econometric models were applied. The findings have confirmed the rise in regional funds for energy efficiency and renewable energy, along with the growing importance of financial instruments in transforming the energy sector. The hypotheses that air pollutant emissions per unit of GDP generated are decreasing, there exists a regional convergence of renewable energy production per capita, and the spatial accumulation of renewable energy production is declining, have been confirmed. No correlation was found between the regional economic development and the level of funds allocated to energy efficiency and renewable energy. The lack of such relationships provides a convincing argument for appropriate state regulation.

“…A limitation related to the development of the agricultural biogas sector in Poland is the strong dependence on the support system (Ignaciuk & Sulewski, 2021), without which, with relatively high investment and operating costs, biogas projects cannot exist, especially if compared to wind projects or PV installations. Moreover, organisational and legal barriers should also be considered important (Klepacka, 2019;Powałka et al, 2013).…”

The article aims to identify barriers related to developing agricultural biogas plants in Poland. The secondary data was supplemented by primary data from a questionnaire conducted among employees of an enterprise whose biogas production is one of the elements of the circular economy. The results of the research revealed that the majority of respondents indicated external, systemic and developmental obstacles. The largest percentage of responses concerned the lack of stable legal regulations in the scope of renewable energy sources, including biogas plants, and the lack of programs financing the construction of agricultural biogas plants. Moreover, the respondents pointed to the proposals that could improve the development of agricultural biogas plants in the future. The respondents considered updating and ensuring the profitability of investments in the situation of significantly higher expenditures, growing costs of business and debt servicing through the reference price as a significant motivator, as well as inclusion in the support system of tariffs guaranteeing a stable income for at least 15 years. Barriers to developing agricultural biogas plants in Poland remain unchanged, and the awareness of the positive impact of agricultural biogas plants on many levels is still very low.

The article aims to identify the changes in the number of employees in European Union (EU) countries in the renewable energy sector in 2018 compared to 2014. EurObserv’ER yearbooks were the source of data on employment and capacity for selected renewable energy sources. The paper uses descriptive and pair-wise comparison methods. The largest decreases in employment were observed among countries that are leaders in the RES market (e.g., Germany, France). On the other hand, the greatest increases in employment were determined by source development opportunities in a given country, e.g., biofuels in Romania, Poland, Hungary, or Lithuania. The conducted pair-wise comparison indicated that the relation between the change in the ranking position and the change in the number of employees was significant for EU countries, whose ranking positions are both in the first (combination AA – I) and the second ten (combination CC – II) in the RES sector. Moreover, the results of the statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship and p-value significance in 11 out of 12 variables adopted for correlation, covering the number of employed and installed capacity in selected RES sectors in 2014 and 2018.
