Poland has transformed from a coal stronghold to a green energy model, and it’s helping lift its entire economy
Poland historically relied heavily on coal production and was a net importer of the high-emissions fossil fuel.
This remarkable transformation is having a significant impact on global climate goals, as Poland shifts away from its coal addiction towards a more sustainable future.Poland has arisen as one of the world’s most unlikely green energy heroes. Historically, Poland has been a coal stronghold. The country is the ninth biggest producer of coal in the world, and the second biggest in Europe, after Germany.
Not only did Poland’s economy not collapse over the winter, it grew at a remarkably healthy pace. “The overall rise in power supplies in turn allowed Poland's heavy industry and manufacturers to sustain high output levels in 2022, and helped Poland's gross domestic product rise by a healthy 4.9% for the year, which was sharply more than the 1.9% expected growth rate of the broader European Union,” Reuters recently reported.
