In this paper authors propose the alternative and eco-friendly supply chains to West Pomeranian power plants. Biomass a as source of green electricity provide a substantial contribution to the EU's overall CO2 targets. According to the European Union goals of decreasing emission of CO2 one way of dealing with these problems is to use clean and renewable energy sources. The authors analyze current ways of biomass transportation, considering its direct and indirect effectiveness. The alternative transportation chain based on inland shipping was described. All necessary technical and organizational arrangements were defined. This paper recommends that supply chains emissions should be included in the calculation of the energy industry carbon footprint. The decision to replace conventional sources of energy to eco-friendly ones should be based on ecological modes of supply transport.
