Poland ranks as the joint fifteenth (with Slovakia) EU Member State in the 2025 edition of the European Bioenergy Day campaign, an annual initiative organized by Bioenergy Europe to highlight the growing importance of sustainable biomass in the energy mix of EU Member States.
November 18, 2025, marks Poland’s Bioenergy Day, indicating that bioenergy could meet the country’s energy demands for 44 days or the remainder of the 2025 calendar year, based on Eurostat’s figures for 2024.
Bioenergy Europe’s annual campaign provides key facts on biomass and the bioenergy industry. It celebrates people, projects, and companies that contribute to achieving European carbon neutrality goals across transportation, industry, space heating, and power, while ensuring energy security.
Powered by Bioenergy Europe, the campaign is amplified by national and international partners who support the idea that bioenergy is more than just a renewable energy source—it is a reliable pathway to achieving Europe’s renewable energy transition.
Hosting some of Europe’s largest coal mines, Poland has long relied on coal for its energy needs. This is changing as several of the country’s most coal-intensive regions have joined the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) in a bid to transition from coal-fired energy generation.
