Energy security, ending resources of fossil energy sources, increase in conventional fuel prices, as well as dependence on imported fuels, have an impact on the need to search for new energy sources. One of the appropriate solutions to this problem is the implementation of biogas as a renewable fuel for transport. Biogas is usually used to generate heat or electricity, but after meeting certain quality requirements, it can also be used as a biofuel for powering mechanical vehicles. The article presents the current state of development of the biogas industry in Poland and defined the prospects for its development.
