Wykorzystanie wybranych surowców energetycznych w kontekście polityki energetycznej Unii Europejskiej
The use of selected energy resources in the context of the EU energy policy

Summary/Abstract: In the article, the use of selected resources of energy is analyzed in the context of the energy policy of the European Union (EU). The aim of the research is to assess the influence of this policy on the use of energy resources in the countries of the EU and the largest economies in the world. It tries to give an answer to the question what should be done to increase this influence. The research may be useful for reducing resource intensity in energy production. In order to achieve the aim of the paper, the use of raw materials for energy and predictions for their future use are analyzed based on documents and statistical data. It will be argued that while the EU energy policy influences the use of some resources of energy in member countries, there is no relation with the use of such resources outside the EU. The author proposes to apply instruments used in the EU in other countries in order to support similar development in their energy sectors.
