One of the main features of energy production in Poland is high dependence on consumption of coal and lignite, which results in significant emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to the atmosphere. This article presents the geoinformation technology and spatial analysis of GHG emissions from fossil fuel burned by power and combined power and heat plants. These plants are considered as emission sources of a point type. As input data, official regional statistics about consumption of fossil fuel for electricity and heat production are used. In addition, main characteristics of power and power/ heat plants are collected from official web-sites. Based on the developed model, numerical experiments have been carried out for the territory of Poland. The results of spatial modeling are presented in the form of thematic maps.
