In this article we presented the current state and prospects for development of bioenergy in Poland. There are over 100 energy crop plantations of the area of at least 5 ha each, 44 pellet and/or briquette producers, over 100 biomass thermal power plants of power of at least 0.5 MW, 40 biomass and coal cofiring thermal power plants, 39 biofuel producers of capacity of 1 million dm~3/year, 80 biogas power plants located at municipal waste sites, 56 biogas power plants located at sewage treatment works, 8 agricultural biogas power plants, one municipal waste incinerator, and 46 medical waste incinerators. In the near future it is planned to further develop renewable energy based on biomass.
