The electricity production in Poland compared to selected European countries

The structure of fuels consumed for energy production and the amount of CO₂ emissions associated with that production in Poland in 1990–2017 and in other selected European countries were presented. The countries to be compared were selected so that the analysed group was diverse in terms of electricity generation conditions. CO₂ emission intensity from electricity production for Poland were estimated and compared with the average intensity for the EU and for the other selected European countries. Additionally, CO₂ emission in the electricity and commercial heat production sector projected until 2040 was included to present the impact of the fuel mix on the emission results.
