Title	The Wood Pellet Sector: Barriers to Growth and Opinions of Manufacturers in Poland
Słowa kluczowe	renewable energy, wood pellet stoves, raw material, imports, quality, rural household
Key words	renewable energy, wood pellet stoves, raw material, imports, quality, rural household
Abstrakt	Biomass is a major source of renewable energy in the EU and Poland, stimulating the growth of the wood pellet sector. Wood pellet demand is stimulated by a complex interaction of market forces and policies including EU climate, energy, and environmental regulations, Poland’s program to improve air quality, and subsidies for the replacement of inefficient stoves used by households. This article focuses on the growth of the wood pellet industry, imports and exports in Poland, and wood pellet quality and use by households. The main issues faced by the EU wood pellet sector between 2013 and 2016 are further considered in the context of opinions of Polish wood pellet manufacturers. Industry opinions were collected in response to an open-ended question that probed for the main issues faced by wood pellet producers during the survey implemented by the authors in 2019. Respondents identified difficulties in obtaining raw material for pellet production and poor pellet quality as major problems. Although the majority did not feel concerned about competition from imported wood pellets, a small number of respondents viewed such competition as a problem reflecting the reversal of decreasing imports in 2017. Overall, the domestic wood pellet industry can be expected to grow because of increasing pressure to expand the use of renewable energy and will be driven by the household sector switching to more efficient, wood burning stoves. Additionally, the expanding area of private Polish forests may become a source of much-needed raw material for wood pellet manufacturing.

Title	Sustainable Development and Renewable Energy Sectors: Selected Indicators in European Union and Poland
Słowa kluczowe	sustainable development, renewable energy, UE, Poland
Key words	sustainable development, renewable energy, UE, Poland
Abstrakt	The aim of this article was to show the position of Poland in the renewable energy subsectors among the European Union countries. The research covered the areas of biomass, solar heating and heat pumps, showing the degree of their utilization, power required to drive the system and their production in 2016. The provided information was supplemented with a revenues per employee in thousand euros in chosen subsectors of renewable energy sources in the year 2016. The main tool for carrying out the set objective was the use of descriptive and comparative methods. The results of the survey demonstrated Poland’s prominent place in the sector of liquid biofuels (1st place in EU), thanks to the significant supply of raw materials as well as development perspectives in solar energy, which is confirmed by the world's statistics indicating a record number of photovoltaic installations fitted (PV).

Słowa kluczowe	renewable energy, survey, rural resident, recycling, Poland
Key words	renewable energy, survey, rural resident, recycling, Poland
Abstrakt	Thermal solar panel installation has been growing in Poland in response to the EU policies and available subsidies. This paper investigates the attitudes of residents of four counties in Mazowieckie Voividship in Poland about the origin of solar panels. Results show that rural residents did not attach importance to awarding preferences to domestic solar panel producers or to foreign producers in exchange of trade benefits. The recycling of used solar panels concerned a relatively small portion of respondents and seems to justify the passage of regulations obligating the solar panel industry to recycle the used panels.

Title	The Use of CSR Measurement Matrix in the Aspect of Sustainable Development
Słowa kluczowe	CSR, stakeholders, measurement matrix, sustainable development, Poland
Key words	CSR, stakeholders, measurement matrix, sustainable development, Poland
Abstrakt	The idea of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) represents the voluntary effort that companies invest in social life. Companies incorporate the concept of CSR strategy in their businesses, knowing its importance to the benefit of the public at large and to sustainable development. Any activity of any major company is exposed to public opinion, which plays a key role in shaping the image of the company. Companies compete to win social trust and acceptance of their activity. The aim of the article was to present the value and significance of CSR activities undertaken by companies, using the example of two businesses, i.e. Polski Koncern Naftowy (PKN) Orlen and Kompania Piwowarska in reference to sustainable development. The article compares the CSR measurement matrix that allows assessing whether a given company is socially responsible, to what extent CSR activities affect the company's stakeholders and to what extent they are consistent with sustainable development (assigning particular CSR development tools by Stakeholders applying the weights from 1 to 3). ISO 26000 standards define the principles of social and environmental responsibility as a guide for organizations and in the analysed companies are a tool that exerts one of the greatest impacts on stakeholders. For both companies, the most important stakeholders are Shareholders and Managers, and they are the ones who, to the largest extent, conduct a socially responsible dialogue for which all CSR development tools are important. Both companies conduct key activities, PKN Orlen used 91% and Kompania Piwowarska 73% of all CSR development tools considered in this study.

Tytuł	Analiza subregionalnych różnic efektywności kosztów w polskich gospodarstwach mlecznych na podstawie danych FADN
Title	THE ANALYSIS OF SUBREGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN COST EFFICIENCY OF POLISH DAIRY FARMS USING THE FADN DATABASE
Słowa kluczowe	dane FADN, regiony FADN, podregiony FADN, graniczna funkcja kosztów efekty stałe, nieefektywność, wskaźnik efektywności kosztów
Key words	FADN data, FADN regions, FADN subregions, cost frontier function, fixed effects, inefficiency, cost efficiency index
Abstrakt	Efektywność kosztów w subsektorze mlecznym analizowano na podstawie danych z dwóch regionów FADN i czterech podregionów w Polsce w okresie 2004/2005-2007/2008. Indeksy efektywności kosztów wyliczono dla każdego gospodarstwa z dwóch regionów FADN i podzielanych z nich dwóch subregionów. Analiza na poziomie regionów i subregionów wskazała na duże różnice we względnej efektywności kosztów gospodarstw mlecznych w każdym obszarze. Analiza subregionalna wskazała, że pod względem najwydajniejszego gospodarstwa w danym obszarze, subregion podlaskie-łódzkie miał większy udział wysoko wydajnych gospodarstw niż subregion wielkopolskie-kujawsko-pomorskie. Ogólnie, na każdym obszarze znajduje się duża liczba gospodarstw, które mogłyby poprawić efektywność kosztową. Ze względu na położenie przetwórców mleka, gospodarstwa mleczne mają względną przewagę w dwóch wymienionych subregionach i w regionie Pomorskie-Mazury, natomiast subregion mazowieckie-lubelskie ma łatwy dostęp do największego rynku reprezentowanego przez Warszawę i okolice. Przemysł mleczarski może tworzyć miejsca pracy w podregionanch wiodących w produkcji mleka, szczególnie jeśli weliminowanie kwot produkcji mleka w 2014 r. spowoduje wzrost popytu na mleko i produkty mleczne w krajach sąsiednich i doprowadzi do wzrostu produkcji mleka.
Abstract	The cost efficiency of the dairy subsector has been analyzed using data for two FADN regions and four subregions in Poland for the period 2004/05-2007/08. The cost efficiency indexes have been calculated for each farm from two FADN regions and two other FADN regions after each was further subdivided into two subregions. Both regional and subregional analyses revealed large differences in relative cost efficiency of dairy farms in each area. In particular, the subregional analysis suggests that Podlaskie and Łódzkie subregion seem to have a relatively larger number of very efficient dairy farms followed by the Wielkopolskie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie subregion. Overall, however, every region seems to have a large number of farms, which could improve their cost efficiency. Given the location of dairy processors, dairy farms in the two mentioned subregions and the region of Pomorskie and Mazury have a relative advantage, while the subregion Mazowieckie and Lubelskie has an easy access to the largest market represented by Warsaw and surroundings. The dairy industry may generate some jobs in subregions leading in milk production, especially if the elimination of milk quota in 2014 will increase demand for milk and dairy products in neighboring countries leading to expansion of milk production.
