is the first edition of the website-based ranking of all 19 concession holders (companies entitled to explore shale gas reserves in Poland, as listed by the Ministry of Environment). The publication has been rese-arched and compiled by Tischner European University Centre for Energy Studies project team (www.teuces.eu). The analysis is based on structural and qualitative website-content overview. In the process, special attention has been given to specific, stakeholder-relevant criteria, following numerous TEUCES-initiated interviews with representatives of local government in regions where shale-gas sector's investor activity has been most promi-nent to date (the Lublin and Pomeranian voivodeships).

Especially that, despite many attempts made after 1989, the coal industry in Poland has never been fully restructured.
