    The European Union (henceforth, EU) is now well on track to meet the 2020 targets for renewable energy production and consumption, and recently a new 2030 Framework for climate and energy has been proposed. The forest sector is supposed to make a significant contribution towards meeting green economy objectives. Moreover, it is of high interest to analyze the potential impacts of EU鈥檚 renewable energy directive (RED 1 and the ongoing RED 2) on the forest sector in Europe and overseas. In order to examine global challenges regarding energy, climate change, ecological impacts, technology developments and sustainable use of land and natural resources in the upcoming circular bioeconomy era (EEA 2018), improved analysis tools are required. The utilization of Forest Sector Models (henceforth, FSMs), linking forestry and forest industry activities, has been found useful for assessing the interplay between forest resources and forest commodity markets, accounting for competition and synergies between different uses of wood. This thesis investigates the impacts of increased use of wood-based bioenergy on forest resources and markets of forest and wood products, and explores the strengths and weaknesses of FSMs.Unia Europejska (odt膮d UE) jest na dobrej drodze, aby osi膮gn膮膰 wyznaczone na 2020 rok cele w zakresie produkcji i zu偶ycia energii odnawialnej. Tak偶e ostatnio, nowe ramy klimatyczne i energetyczne zosta艂y zaproponowane na rok 2030. Zak艂ada si臋, 偶e sektor le艣ny1 ma znacz膮co przyczyni膰 si臋 do osi膮gni臋cia cel贸w zielonej gospodarki. Ponadto niezwykle istotne jest przeanalizowanie potencjalnych skutk贸w unijnej dyrektywy w sprawie energii odnawialnej (RED 1 i trwaj膮ca RED 2) na sektor le艣ny w Europie i za granic膮. Aby zbada膰 globalne wyzwania dotycz膮ce energii, zmian klimatu, skutk贸w ekologicznych, rozwoju technologii oraz zr贸wnowa偶onego u偶ytkowania zasob贸w l膮dowych i naturalnych w nadchodz膮cej erze biogospodarki o obiegu zamkni臋tym (EEA 2018), potrzebne s膮 ulepszone narz臋dzia analityczne. Wykorzystanie modeli sektora le艣nego (odt膮d MSL), 艂膮cz膮cych dzia艂alno艣膰 w zakresie le艣nictwa i przemys艂u drzewnego, okaza艂o si臋 przydatne do oceny wzajemnych zale偶no艣ci mi臋dzy zasobami le艣nymi a rynkami surowca drzewnego, z uwzgl臋dnieniem konkurencji i synergii mi臋dzy r贸偶nymi zastosowaniami drewna. Niniejsza praca dotyczy wp艂ywu zwi臋kszonego wykorzystania bioenergii, opartej na drewnie, na zasoby le艣ne i rynki surowca drzewnego oraz analizuje mocne i s艂abe strony MSL
