economic characteristics of Podkarpackie province as a background for the hereinafter presented review of strategic industries of the region. 1.1 Location and natural conditions Podkarpackie province (also called Subcarpathian Voivodeship) covers an area of 17,846 km2, which corresponds to 5.6% of the total area of Poland. It borders on: Małopolskie province (19.4 km), Świętokrzyskie province (8.5 km) and Lublin province (33.3 km). The eastern and southern border of the voivodeship is at the same time the state border of Poland with Ukraine (24.9 km) and Slovakia (13.9 km). As reported by the Central Statistical Office in 2013 the voivodeship had 2,129,294 inhabitants. The settlement system of the unit consists of 50 cities (33 of which are towns with less than 10,000 inhabitants) and 1676 villages. In terms of administrative division it comprises 159 gminas (i.e. communes), 21 rural poviats (i.e. land counties) and 4 urban poviats (i.e. city counties). The main urban centres are Rzeszów, Przemyśl, Stalowa Wola, Mielec, Tarnobrzeg and Krosno. The voivodeship is divided into 4 subregions – Krosno, Przemyśl, Rzeszów and Targobrzeg subregion. In physical and geographical terms Podkarpackie province extends over Roztocze, the Lublin Upland, Sandomierz Basin, Central Beskidian Piedmont, the Central Beskids and the Eastern (Wooded) Beskids and the San-Dniester Plateau.

Statistical Office in Rzeszów Podkarpackie province is characterised by highly diversified terrain and has large resources of surface water and minerals. The most important elements of the network of surface waters are the reservoirs: Solina and Myczkowce on the San and Besko on the Wisłok. The voivodeship has resources of fossil fuels (natural gas, petroleum), chemical resources (native sulphur), and rocks (limestone, marl, sand and gravel, glass sand, clays, gypsum, and peat). One of the major resources from the point of view of regional economy is mineral water with a therapeutic effect (health resorts in Iwonicz Zdrój, Rymanów Zdrój, Polańczyk, Horyniec Zdrój, and Latoszyn). With regard to fossil fuels it must be emphasized that the voivodeship hosts 40 % of the Polish resources of natural gas, and the “Przemyśl” gas field is the largest domestic reserve of natural gas. The region offers favourable conditions for the development of infrastructure connected with renewable energy sources – currently a pumped storage power plant in Solina, 18 wind turbines and an identical number of hydroelectric power plants. The region of Podkarpacie is also rich in biomass resources (rapeseed, wood), which is also a source of energy. The share of renewable energy in the production of power in the voivodeship in 2012 is comparable to that of most regions in Poland and amounts
