Abstract: Energy transition is one of the main objectives of the European Union. Significant changes will mainly affect countries in which significant modifications will have to be made to their energy sources. The process will involve high investment in infrastructure and additional costs of the transformation, such as reduced production (which may affect the GDP value) in the economic sectors involved in the process. The aim of this article is to provide the energy transition community, namely the national economy in general and those involved in planning for structural change in particular, with the key lessons and challenges in researching the impact of production changes in the mining sector. This article also shows the relevance of the mining sector in the economy. Within this area, particular attention is given to the following issues: the impact of economic sectors on the country’s GDP (gross domestic product); the identification of key sectors of the economy using the input–output method; the contribution of coal mining and the mining industry to Poland’s GDP; an analysis of changes in the structure of Poland’s economy using the input–output method; and the use of the input–output method in the context of changing/reducing the supply of economic sectors.

Keywords: hard coal mining; GDP; input–output method; share of mining in GDP; mining in national economy (search for similar items in EconPapers)
