Cel mai mare zăcământ de petrol descoperit în Polonia de la Al Doilea Război Mondial: Varșovia vrea să foreze, Germania se opune
In 2025, a Canadian company discovered a significant oil and gas deposit off the Polish Baltic coast, raising environmental concerns in Germany. The Wolin East deposit, located near Świnoujście, is estimated to contain 22 million tons of crude oil and five billion cubic meters of natural gas. This discovery is seen as a historic moment for Poland's energy sector, potentially reducing its dependence on energy imports. However, local authorities and residents express worries about tourism and environmental protection. German environmental groups are opposing fossil fuel extraction, citing risks to the fragile Baltic ecosystem. Upcoming regional elections may influence the conflict between Poland's energy interests and German environmental calls.
