“…Since its main role is stabilising RES, it also plays the role of the key element in reducing CO2 emissions. At the same time, the use of natural gas, which is a fossil fuel emitting CO2, should be gradually decreased (Rogala et al, 2023).…”

Purpose:The purpose of the article is to examine whether there are correlations between the level of socio-economic development of the voivodeships and energy prices as well as the amount of energy (coal, electricity and gas) consumed by households in the period from 1999 to 2022. Design/Methodology/Approach: The data source for the performed analysis is the Local Data Bank of Statistics of Poland. A taxonomic analysis, a non-pattern method, was used for the study. Seventeen variables were analysed over the study period. They were divided into development variables: economic (3 variables), social (8 variables) and technical (6 variables). Findings: It was observed that with the increase in the level of socio-economic development, energy prices and the amount of consumed energy increased. The social component of the level of socio-economic development shows a decrease in energy prices as the social level increases. In the case of the economic and technical components, an increase in that level is observed. When analysing the amount of consumed energy, an increase in energy consumption with the increase in the level of socio-economic development is noticed. Furthermore, in the case of electricity, the index of the dynamics of energy consumption decreases as the level of socio-economic development of the voivodeships increases. Practical Implications:The results of the study can be used as recommendations for regional development policies based on energy sources, depending on the level of development of individual Polish voivodeships. Originality/Value: Based on the conducted analysis, an increase in the level of socioeconomic development in the period under review was found.

“…This process can be considered as green as long as the components of synthesis are achieved in a zero-emission manner. In practice, it requires the application of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydro, and nuclear combined with hydrogen from electrolysis and nitrogen from the air separation unit [40] or biogas (as a one-to-one replacement for natural gas) in the steam methane reforming process [41,42]. Examples of green ammonia plants include Norway's Rjukan from 1927 to 1988 and Glomfjord from 1949 to 1993, which used hydropower.…”

The main purpose of the article is to present a comprehensive and critical review of the challenges and risks associated with the use of green ammonia as an alternative fuel in land transport. The review is motivated by the clear trend toward phasing out fossil fuel vehicles and replacing them with emission-free alternatives. Topics covered include safety aspects such as safety of powering of vehicles, the production of green ammonia, the use of ammonia in the context of various fuel solutions (combustion engines and fuel cell engines), and the discussion of ammonia-powered vehicles in the context of air pollution. The paper offers new insights into identifying the challenges and obstacles that may arise in the case of the massive use of green ammonia as a fuel for land transport. In addition, the review presents the latest information on the technological readiness of the necessary infrastructure for the production, transport, storage, and utilization of green ammonia in internal combustion or electric engines.

“…The general assumptions of the EU climate strategy expressed in the European Green Deal create a general framework for the development of biogas production, favouring its much broader use in the economic cycle (not only electricity and heat). In this aspect, an available alternative to cogeneration should also be considered, consisting of the conversion of biogas to biomethane and/or the production of biohydrogen from biogas [41]. Figure 4 shows the available methods of converting biogas into other energy carriers that can be implemented in Poland.…”

The production of biogas from biodegradable waste generated in all sectors of the economy in Poland is a key issue for the diversification of energy sources and climate neutrality. The biogas balances presented in the literature based on bio-waste often contain overly optimistic data, which in reality only represent the theoretical potential of biogas in Poland. The pragmatic approach presented in this study fills a gap in research by presenting a technical balance of biogas (real potential) that can be realistically achieved. The objective of the work was to perform a biogas balance in the context of electricity and heat generation in cogeneration units. The tests made it possible to estimate the technical potential of biogas, depending on the source of its generation, the possibility of its conversion to biomethane and biohydrogen and the methods of its use. The research results showed a 30% increase in biogas potential on an annual basis compared to the current state, resulting in a 29% increase in electricity production and a 28% increase in heat production. The technical potential of biogas was estimated at 2186.62 million m3, which would allow for the production of 4627.06 GWh of electricity and 1869.64 TG of heat. The technical balance of biogas and the potential energy production can serve as input material for developing plans and strategies for the development of renewable energy sources in Poland. The work is consistent with the issues of balancing the renewable energy resources from biogas and the methods of conversion into other energy carriers using sustainable energy transformations in order to optimise energy production processes.
