Abstract

In the light of the comparative analysis presented in the article it can be stated that in the years 1995–2008 the share of natural gas as an energy source in the EU countries generally increased (with some exceptions). The main contribution was by the electricity sector, but also some industries recorded significant growth in this respect; in the household sector, the second largest gas consumer, the increase was relatively small however. The most important source of growth in demand for natural gas was the substitution in within the fuel mix (replacing coal and fuel oil with gas), as well as an overall increase in energy demand. The limiting factor of the increase in demand for gas has been the growing share of renewables in the energy mix. Poland, compared to EU countries, is characterized by relatively low (though growing) share of gas, especially in the energy sector, which also means a significant potential to increase the scale of the use of this fuel. Examples of individual countries show that under favorable conditions the share of gas in the energy mix can improve significantly even in a relatively short time (several years).
