Development of renewable energy sources and efficient use thereof are universal indicators of responsible environmental policy. It is estimated that in the EU countries, biomass can provide approx. 2/3 of the declared share of energy generated from RES in 2020. Energy derived from RES is favourable for both, the reduction in pollutant emissions to the atmosphere and water, and the reduction in the volumes of waste generated. This paper identifies, on the basis of the example of north-eastern Poland, both - the existing producers of biomass and operators involved in the processing and purchase thereof. Furthermore, an attempt was made at assessing local determinants affecting the development of the production trend concerned, with account taken of sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas. In order to identify the producers and processors of biomass for energy purposes, it being a useful GIS tool for processing, visualization in a form of tables and thematic maps is presented.
