Abstract
The paper’s purpose was the recognition of the use of pellets as a source of renewable energy in sustainable development concept. The scope of work covered pellet production volume and consumption in Poland as compared to the selected EU countries in 2011 and 2017. Moreover, the presentation tracks the changes in the number of pellet producers in Poland taking into account their spatial distribution across voivodships in 2018. To determine the potential of wood pellets as a renewable energy source, on the calculations of Pearson's correlation coefficient, confirmed a significant relationship between the volume of pellet production and forest cover (r = 0.94, p-value 0.002), and another relationship between the share of private forests and rural population (r = 0.59, p-value 0.017). The domestic and the EU wood pellet market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years due to the new targeted share of energy from renewable sources from 20% in 2020 to 32% in 2030. However, further expansion of use of wood pellets in individual EU country-members may be limited by their individual requirements of sustainable development.<br/><br/>
