Participants in the debate “Hydrogen is the Fuel of the Future” in Warsaw on January 21 discussed the development of the green hydrogen economy.
According to Ireneusz Zysky, State Secretary of Poland’s Ministry of Climate and Environment, Poland has the potential to be a global leader and beneficiary of this transformation. He recalled that Poland is currently ranked third in the European Union and fifth in the world in terms of hydrogen production. Process hydrogen, on the other hand, is produced and consumed in technological processes, such as by the Azoty group or fuel companies. The European Commission intends to allocate 460-470 billion euros for hydrogen investments, according to Ireneusz Zyska.
The Polish Hydrogen Strategy, which defines an action plan in the field of hydrogen technologies, was adopted by the government in November 2021. A law called the “Hydrogen Constitution” should be submitted to the Seimas by the end of 2022.
160 entities, both private and state-owned, as well as foreign companies, signed the hydrogen agreement. This is the first agreement of its kind in Europe, and it is expected to be a key tool in the Polish hydrogen strategy’s implementation.
