Purpose: The purpose of the article is to analyse and evaluate the compatibility of the development of agricultural biogas plants with Poland's environmental policy, particularly with regard to the promotion of RES use locally.Design/methodology/approach: The article focuses on a selected issue in the field of organization and shaping sustainable development policy. Inductive and deductive reasoning, descriptive and monographic methods were used to process the collected data. The research methodology was based on statistical measures of structure and change over time. Findings: The development of biogas plants in Poland is in line with the country's environmental policy, which focuses on increasing the share of renewable energy sources in electricity and heat production and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Practical implications: The presented study can help economic entities to make effective decisions regarding environmental protection and development of RES. Social implications: The analysis presented can help in the process of identifying the benefits of the development of agricultural biogas plants, not only for the environment, but also as an element stimulating economic development on a local and regional level. Originality/value: The presented study is a new concept for the interpretation of Poland's environmental policy in the context of supporting the development of renewable energy sources (RES) from the perspective of sustainable development.
