Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2014, vol. 39, issue C, 42-50

Abstract: The paper presents the use of Life Assessment Analysis (LCA) to determine the environmental impact of produced electricity and heat for power plants and coal-fired plants in Poland. Moreover, the usefulness of this method of assessment for energy sector was demonstrated. The article also presents the comparative analysis of energy production from burning solid fuels with the use of Ecoindicator 99. The conducted LCA analyses aimed at undergoing a critical review of the objectives of Polish energetic policy. The difference was presented concerning the results of the environmental impact as well as the causes of the essential values of the impact were discussed. Furthermore, the authors identified the measures which will contribute to the reduction of the impact of electricity production on the environment during the production of electricity in the future.
