The problem discussed in the paper concerns the identification of the advisory needs of producers and converters of biomass intended for energy purposes. The research material was based on opinions collected by means of the survey conducted among 123 producers and 30 converters of biomass. The research was carried out in 2013. The research results indicate that the system of supporting action for utilizing biomass for energy purposes is a matter of future. There is a need both for advisory service in the subject of acquiring renewable sources of energy, technology of producing plants for energy purposes, as well as for using biomass, including possibilities and methods of converting it into energy. The conclusion states that the advisory in cooperation with local government should support creating efficient organization structures of the system, which can be defined as agroenergetics.
The article presents the current situation and forecast for development of energy production from renewable resources in the Opole Voivodship. The share of renewable sources in electricity and heat production in the region is 5.4%. The largest part in energy production from renewable resources came from biomass and hydro-electricity. Other sources are of secondary importance, although the planned investments could result in major changes in the direction of the dominant sources. Implementation of the intended investments may cause the increase of importance of other sources — wind energy and agricultural biogas plants.
