Biowioska – niemiecka koncepcja wsi bioenergetycznej

Abstract

Issues related to the use of renewable energy resources have gained significant prominence in the last decade. Among the European Union countries, Germany is the leader of energy system transformation; also in terms of innovative solutions for the new model of using renewable energy sources. The paper presents the concept of a bioenergy village – part of the German strategy of energy transformation. Other countries should follow the model of the concept's implementation and, above all, use the experience resulting from its implementation in the social and technical structures. However, the problems that have arisen in the process of the creation of German bioenergy villages have resulted in the changes of the concept originally based on the sole use of biomass, causing it to evolve towards an extensive use of other renewable energy technologies.
