Site Potentials for Biomass Power Plants in Poland
The Polish market for renewable energies has reached a turning point. The new Polish Act on
Renewable Energy Sources entails new opportunities for developing biomass power plant projects,
for instance at locations of the wood or furniture industry.
At present, mono-incinerators at such locations produce less than five per cent of the Polish
electricity from biomass. Most potentially favourable locations have not yet been developed.
Instead, almost 80 per cent of the biomass electricity and more than a third of the renewable
energies in Poland are generated through co-incinerating biomass in coal power plants.
The new Polish Act on Renewable Energy Sources is scheduled to come into effect in the second
half of 2013. According to this law, the support of co-incinerators should decrease significantly in
the future. By contrast, smaller biomass power plants, mono-incinerators and electricity generation
by using CHP technology should receive stronger support. At the same time, the goals in terms of
developing and boosting renewable energies are once again increasing.
In light of this development, ecoprog and local partners have jointly analysed the market for
electricity generation from solid biomass in detail. The report focuses on the identification of
industrial locations that produce large amounts of biomass.
The report “Site Potentials for Biomass Power Plants in Poland” includes:
A detailed analysis of the current and future legislation for promoting renewable energies
and electricity generation from solid biomass in Poland.
A precise description of the around 42 active mono- and co-incinerators in Poland.
Furthermore, the description of about 14 power plant projects that are currently under
construction or being planned.
An evaluation of the biomass streams that are currently being used as fuel in biomass
power plants, including their amounts and sources.
A description of 450 industry locations we have estimated to produce the largest amounts
of biomass, amongst them sawmills, paper and furniture factories, sites of pellet producers
and of producers of agricultural biomass.
A geographical evaluation of power plants and biomass locations by regions (Voivodships)
in order to find potential locations for future power plant projects.
The report is available in English and German from 4,800 euros plus VAT.

3.6 Future legislation
The parliament is currently passing a new RES scheme. In doing so, a dedicated “Act on
Renewable Energy Sources” will be passed for the first time. This act will have a higher juridical
status compared to the current regulation of the minister.
The new regulation will provide for higher and therefore stricter targets for the share of renewable
energy. A share of 12 per cent is targeted for 2013 and by 2017 the share is meant to be at 17 per
cent. This is an increase of 3 per cent in comparison to earlier legislation.
Nevertheless, the major change compared to the current system is a diversification of the degree
of support. In the future, there will be different amounts of green certificates for different types of
production. The level of support will differ by the technology of a plant, the size of a plant and the
mode of operation. The instrument to achieve this will be a so-called correction index.
Figure 22: Initial values of correction indices for new biomass plants

< 10 MW > 10 MW < 10 MW

2015 1.25 0.925 1.65 1.125 0.25
2016 1.225 0.90 1.625 1.10 0.20
2017 1.20 0.875 1.60 1.075 0.15
Source: Draft Act on Renewable Energy Sources of 27 July 2012
Another change will be the guarantee of a consistent support for the period of 15 years, starting
from the commissioning of the renewable energy plant. The support for co-incinerators will be
limited to five years. The time schedule should also apply to plants that started operations before
the Act on Renewable Energy Sources comes into effect. In general, green certificates for co-
incineration plants will be granted no later than 2020. For other plants, the current regulation states
that green certificates can be granted by 2035.
The guaranteed sales price for renewable power will be kept up. Nevertheless, this price will be
calculated in a different way. At present, it equals the last year’s average price in the energy
market. According to the new law, the obligatory purchase price will start at 198.90 PLN/MWh in
2012. In the years to come, it will be adjusted to the price index for consumer goods and services
of the previous year. This means that the guaranteed price for renewable energy will mainly follow
the inflation and not the energy prices. This will result in a weaker increase in the future. The
inflation is expected to be considerably lower than the price increase in the power business. The
increasing costs for the purchase of CO2 emission rights alone are expected to drive the power
price much faster than the average inflation.

More than 60 per cent of this power was produced in dedicated power plants without using waste
heat and therefore at a poor energy efficiency. Almost all of these “power production only”-
capacities are located at large coal power plants. The majority of these plants co-incinerates
biomass in existing coal-fired boilers. This co-incineration of biomass has actually been the focus
of Polish power production policies since the support of renewable energy started in 2005. This
was mainly due to the large number of existing coal power plants. Using this asset for co-
incinerating biomass promised a fast growth of renewable energy at comparatively low costs.
Figure 28: Development of electricity generation from solid biomass by type of plant
At the same time, many of these coal power plants were operated by the large Polish energy
utilities that are still partly owned by the state. There was a strong interest to integrate these
companies in the growing renewable energy market. About 30 of the 39 coal power plants in
Poland are currently co-incinerating biomass. Almost all of them use coal as their main fuel.
Due to their origin, the majority of these plants are very large. In some of them, for instance in
Opole, the single units have a power production of more than 300 MWel – even if biomass
accounts only for a small share of this power production. The majority of these coal power plants
consist of several units. The coal power plant Kozienic, for instance, consists of ten units with one
boiler each. Only one or few of these units co-incinerate biomass. As biomass still means an
additional burden for a coal power plant, it is often used in old boilers (that will be shut down in a
few years anyway) or in boilers that have been modernised especially for the use of biomass. A
large share of the existing coal-fired boilers works with dust firing and can therefore only use wood
pellets and other porous biomass. Boilers that were designed for co-incineration often use fluidised
bed technology.

Biomass amounts
Straw mainly results from the cultivation of grain. In 2010, cereals were cultivated on about 7.6
million hectare in Poland, which is more than 70 per cent of all cropland. The most popular kinds of
cereals were wheat, triticale, rye and barley.
Figure 59: Producers of straw pellets in Poland
According to the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation in Puławy, the amount of straw
yielded from 1 hectare of cereal crops amounts to approximately 0.8 to 1.1 tons. This means that,
in theory, more than 7 million tons of straw could be harvested.
The de facto production, however, is much smaller. Due to the fragmented and complex market
