Elevating Renewable Hydrogen: EU and Poland's Strategic Focus
Key Ideas
  • The European Union and Poland are prioritizing the development of renewable hydrogen for decarbonization.
  • Initiatives like REPowerEU aim to produce 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen within the EU by 2030.
  • New regulations at both EU and national levels support the growth of the hydrogen market.
  • Poland aims to produce 315,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen by 2030 to meet ambitious EU targets.
The European Union and Poland have placed a strong emphasis on advancing renewable hydrogen as a crucial component of the energy transition to achieve decarbonization goals. The EU's REPowerEU initiative targets substantial renewable hydrogen production by 2030. However, challenges such as cost reduction remain. Recent EU regulations, including the hydrogen and gas package, are pivotal in creating a supportive framework for the hydrogen market's development. At the national level, Poland has highlighted the importance of hydrogen in its National Energy and Climate Plan, aiming for a significant share of green hydrogen production by 2030 and introducing a Contract for Difference mechanism to support renewable hydrogen producers. The amendment to the Energy Law Act in Poland sets the stage for a stable regulatory environment, introducing key definitions and conceptual frameworks for hydrogen infrastructure. These measures aim to enhance the production, distribution, and utilization of renewable hydrogen while aligning with EU objectives.
