“…In 2016, twelve Central European countries (the Three Seas Initiative) became involved in a political and economic initiative which aimed to boost gas market development projects in the region. It turned out that the concept of the North-South Gas Corridor appeals not only to V4 countries but also to those which might want to significantly improve their energy security (especially Bulgaria [46] (p. 120), Romania [47] (p. 162), and Serbia [48]).…”

The energy sector in Poland is currently calling for dynamic redevelopment and cleaner energy. This country is world famous for its high level of coal production, from which it does not want to retreat in the next two decades. For this reason, it is safer to gradually reduce the use of coal while increasing the consumption of gas and simultaneously developing green energy. However, the Polish gas sector is still dependent on Russian gas supplied through the Yamal gas pipeline. Taking into consideration Polish geopolitics, this state of affairs poses a huge challenge and a threat to Poland’s energy security. That is why the concept of the North-South Gas Corridor was introduced. It is intended to be a network of gas pipelines that connect the countries of Central and South Europe to two gas terminals (in Poland and Croatia), which will supply gas from a chosen source. This article presents the current condition of the gas sector in Poland. It focuses on the North-South Gas Corridor project and its impact on the energy security of Poland. An analysis of documents and field research shows that the North-South Gas Corridor provides Poland with an opportunity to diversify the sources and directions of gas supply over the next few years.

“…These documents point out to the priorities in the Greek energy sector -the development of renewable energy sources and increasing energy efficiency. The majority of the investments are supposed to happen in the green energy sector, however the remaining sectors are also being redeveloped, and the gas sector in particular (Hebda 2019).…”

“…Naturally, the strongest renewable energy source is solar energy -Greece can boast of having 250 sunny days a year, which amounts to 3,000 hours annually. What is also important is the fact that Greece's solar potential is equally placed all over the country so there are no geographical limitations to the location of solar power stations (Hebda 2019). Wind energy also seems to be a viable energy source.…”

“…Greece also comes first in the European ranking of geothermal potential. What is more, this kind of energy is easily accessible technologically-wise and also profitable -tectonic and volcanic activity has led to thermal energy being accumulated not very deep in the ground and also to the creation of multiple water reservoirs with low, average and high enthalpy (Hebda 2019). However, when it comes to hydroenergy, Greece's situation seems to be far less satisfactory.…”

Decarbonization of the energy sector in Greece – is Greek coal mining over?

The following paper presents the process of decarbonization of the energy sector in Greece and points out to different methods the Greek authorities are adopting in order to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases generated by electricity production. Greece is a country which is modernizing its energy sector gradually, yet dynamically. One of the prime aims is to reduce the level of energy produced in coal-fired power plants by focusing on the renewable energy and the gas sector. In 2010 still more than half of the electrical energy was generated by lignite-fired power plants. Almost ten years later the ratio has dropped to only slightly more than 30%. A significant reduction in coal consumption was possible thanks to investments in renewable energy sources, especially in the wind and solar energy sectors. Both sectors have seen a large increase in production, making renewable energy sources already accounting for over 20% of Greek electricity production. Capital-intensive investments were also made in the country's gas supply through the expansion of gas-fired power plants and gas transmission networks. As a result, natural gas remains the main source of energy for Greece next to coal. Unfortunately, a big challenge in terms of decarbonization is the need for increased imports of electricity from abroad, due to the insufficient capacity of the Greek energy sector. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to define a Greek model of decarbonization and to point out to its benefits and dangers. Greek strategy might serve as an example of how to successfully solve the energy issues in the countries with similar energy profile.

Poland’s energy transformation will be carried out over the next two decades, and its main objective is decarbonization. Specific goals are included in the energy policy of Poland until 2040. In this context, it should be emphasized that the Polish energy sector requires a complete modernization, especially in terms of electricity supply. The current state of affairs is a consequence of the still too high use of coal in the energy mix. The planned investments are to lead to a deep transition in the Polish energy sector, which will ensure the energy security of the state. The Polish energy policy proposes several methods that are to be used for modernization, i.e., gasification of the electricity sector, implementation of nuclear energy, or the development of renewable energy sources. In this context, it is necessary to identify the challenges and threats to Poland’s energy security. The article presents the current state of the Polish energy sector, the main goals of the EPP 2040 and the resulting threats to energy security.
