In 2020, nuclear power plants (almost 25%) and gas-fired power plants (21%) had the largest shares in electricity generation in the EU.
Wind turbines (14%), hydroelectric power plants (13%), and biofuels (6%) had the highest shares among renewable energy sources in the EU, while solar energy had the lowest share (5%).
Renewable energy sources contributed a total of 18.4% of the energy, with wind energy accounting for the highest share at 10% of the total production.
Photovoltaic energy played a minor role, contributing only 1.2% to the total production, despite nearly doubling in production in 2020.
The structure of electricity production in Poland at the end of 2020 was unfavorable for net-zero transitions, as over 70% of the energy was derived from coal.
When considering the sources of heating in households across the European Union, Poles predominantly rely on hard coal and other solid fuels. On average, coal accounted for only 2.5% of final energy consumption in the households in EU countries. However, this figure is elevated in four countries: Poland (24.6%), Ireland (11.6%), the Czech Republic (8.9%), and Bulgaria (4.2%).
According to the Ministry of Climate and Environment, hard coal is the primary source of energy for 3.8 million out of 15 million households in Poland.
Poland’s share of total greenhouse gas emissions in the EU was 12.6% in 2021, higher than the previous year (11%).
This placed Poland in second place, nearly tied with Italy and France, which had similar shares (around 11%).
Poland accounts for 87% of the coal burned in households in the EU, specifically in the small consumer sector.
In 2017, emissions related to buildings—mainly their heating and air-conditioning processes—accounted for 11% of Poland’s emissions (46 MtCO2 e). 84% came from the residential sector and 16% from the commercial sector.
Poland does not presently have a nuclear power plant.
Wind energy covered an average of 16% of the continent’s electricity needs.

The country generates 10.5% of the EU's total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Emissions were stable over the 2005-2019 period, with only small annual variations.
In 2019, Polish per capita emissions were at an average of 10.4 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), a figure that was above the EU average of 8.4 tonnes and the eighth highest.

The top ten countries (with 68.4% of global cumulative CO2 emissions) include China, the USA, Russia, India, Japan, Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom, South Korea, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
From 1996 to 2016, a significant increase in CO2 emissions occurs in non-North Asia, parts of Africa and Latin America, which are composed of many middle-income countries with large populations and rapid economic development.
The top ten countries with CO2 increases are China, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Brazil, South Korea, Turkey, Vietnam, and Thailand, eight of which are assigned to the UMI or LMI levels.
The countries with low per capita cumulative CO2 emissions are mainly concentrated in South Asia, Latin America, and Africa, and mainly include LI and LMI countries.
The top ten countries in terms of per capita cumulative emissions include Trinidad and Tobago, Kuwait, the USA, Luxembourg, Bahrain, Brunei, Australia, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, and Estonia, all of which belong to the HI region.
In 2020, Kazakhstan, the largest emit- ter, produced 50 times more emissions than Palestine, the lowest emitter.
Palestine depends on other countries for 87% of its electricity imports.
