“…Because larch is one of the most important tree species in Polish forests, there is clearly a need for knowledge about the impact of climate change on the ecology and growth of this species. As a fast-growing tree, it can also be a potential plant for biomass production in Poland (Igliński et al 2011). …”

European larch trees grown outside their natural range were intensively studied in terms of their adaptability to increased late winter temperature. A total of 264 cores of larch were taken from 12 sites throughout northern Poland at sites outside of its natural range. Clustering of de-trended chronologies reveal that research sites are grouped geographically. The mean ring widths, however, are similar amongst the four regions. In total, 21 % of the single correlations for all months for tree-ring widths were significant at the 5 % error level. For earlywood and latewood, the figures are 18 and 19 %, respectively. A generally positive precipitation effect was found, however, no significant negative effect was observed. Temperature had mixed effects on ring width. Higher temperatures in late winter and early spring increased ring width in region 2. High summer temperatures in both the previous and the current year, on the other hand, generally had a negative impact on tree-ring width during the growing season. On most of the sites, the observed long-term trend for increasing temperatures in March had no significant negative influence on tree growth. The visual condition of European larch together with the lack of any negative response of tree rings to observed March temperature increase suggest that it may be beneficial to introduce this species into new areas.

“…About the 80% of the total annual insolation occurs during six months of the year, from April till September. Moreover, during the summer months, the sunshine hours are about 16 h per day while in winter -8 h per day [35]. As it is shown in Table 1, the total hours of sunshine (length of day) are 4359 h per year, with about 500 h per month during five spring-summer months.…”

Abstract. Nowadays, the technologies of electricity generation in distributed systems are usually associated with Renewable Energy Sources (RES). The choice of the construction site depends mainly on the availability of the power system. However, energy planning, especially in case of RES, is a complex process involving multiple and often conflicting objectives. The complexity of the selection of the electricity system is typically addressed with the use of multi-criteria tools, involving all of the considered criteria and also different methods of their aggregation. The result is a final ranking of the available alternatives. This paper describes the application of a multi-criteria decision tool for the comparative analysis of the use of alternative options of the PV technology for electricity production. Four decision variants are considered, including the different construction of solar farms (static and movable structure) and different types of configuration of individual installation (off and on-grid). The construction of each new sources of electricity generation, including PV, is the multi-threaded and multi-dimensional decision problem. The criteria used in the analysis combine economic, environmental and social issues. The first of the considered criterion is the Net Present Value (NPV) which determines the economic viability of the project. The second criterion, thermo-ecological cost (TEC), connecting energy and environmental issues. Finally, the Land Use (LU) is considered as a social criterion. As aggregation function, the Weighted Sum Method (WSM) is used. The sensitivity analysis of the criteria weights was performed with the use of a novel method involving Monte Carlo simulation and a method of data reconciliation.

“…In many parts of the world, including Poland, methane fermentation process has been currently regarded as the prospective source of renewable energy and very good way for organic waste utilization. Among various types of wastes, the sewage sludge, municipal waste, food industry waste and agricultural waste are most important substrates in methane fermentation process (Budzianowski, 2012;Igliñski et al, 2011).The municipal wastes production forecast included in the National Plan of Wastes Management (2010) indicates that the amount of biodegradable wastes which should be subjected to recovery and neutralization in Poland (apart from landfilling) will reach the level of approx. 2.5 mln Mg in 2010, 3.5 mln Mg in 2013, and 3.6 mln Mg in 2018.…”

Methane fermentation process for utilization of organic wasteBiogas is a renewable and sustainable energy carrier generatedviaanaerobic digestion of biomass. This fuel is derived from various biomass resources and depending on its origin it contains methane (40-75%), carbon dioxide (20-45%) and some other compounds. The aim of this paper is to present the current knowledge and prospects of using the methane fermentation process to dispose of various types of organic wastes as well as conditions and factors affecting the methane fermentation process.
