Abstract: As a member of the European Union, Poland pledged to increase the share of energy generated from renewable resources up to 7.5% by 2010 and to 14% by 2020. These goals can be achieved through the production of biomass. Poland׳s biomass potential is among the highest in Europe and is 895 PJ. A major role in the production of biomass for energy purposes in Poland is played by the cultivation of fast-growing annual and perennial energy plants. The main objective of this research was the spatial analysis and evaluation of the development of energy crops in Poland based on historical, urbanisation and natural conditions.
