The Polish government has released a new tender titled “Dostawa paliwa wodorowego z możliwością awaryjnej dystrybucji,” aiming to procure hydrogen fuel with provisions for emergency distribution. The tender invites submissions until June 19, 2024. This initiative is poised to significantly impact the hydrogen industry in Poland by bolstering its fuel infrastructure and ensuring a reliable supply chain.
The main objectives of the tender include securing a consistent supply of high-quality hydrogen fuel and establishing a robust system for emergency distribution. This dual approach is critical to support Poland’s growing hydrogen ecosystem, which plays a pivotal role in its clean energy transition and in meeting its carbon reduction targets.
Key requirements for potential bidders involve demonstrating the capability to supply hydrogen fuel that meets specific purity standards and having the infrastructure in place to respond quickly to any supply disruptions. Bidders must be able to scale delivery operations and maintain compliance with national safety and environmental regulations.
The technical specifications require that the hydrogen fuel provided have a purity level of at least 99.99%, ensuring it is suitable for both industrial applications and hydrogen fuel cells used in transportation. Emergency distribution plans must detail how the supplier will maintain continuous fuel availability during unforeseen circumstances, such as equipment failures or natural disasters, highlighting the importance of resilience in the hydrogen supply chain.
This tender represents a strategic effort by Poland to strengthen its hydrogen fuel landscape. It will support both immediate and long-term energy needs while promoting sustainability and reliability within the industry.
