Polenergia’s strategic cooperation deal with Siemens, which will prepare sections of its CHP plant in Nowa Sarzyna for burning green hydrogen, follows announcements from Polish companies on using the environmentally-friendly fuel.
Polenergia announced co-operation with Siemens Energy, signed this week in an area of clean energy production which is touted to grow by 35 percent between 2015 and 2022 to PLN 600 bn, (EUR 135 bn) according to data quoted in a report by the The Polish Economic Institute (PIE).
The Polish company’s chairman Michał Michałski said the deal with the multinational engineering and technology firm would range “from high-efficiency gas cogeneration to the effective electrolysis of green hydrogen production,” at their plant in Nowa Sarzyna in south east Poland.
Green Hydrogen
Currently, hydrogen is mainly produced from methane, a method which involves significant CO2 emissions. However the European Union’s climate neutrality targets will prioritise the use of zero-emission hydrogen, which is produced by electrolysis, using renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power. However, the production costs are high and storage and transport bring additional challenges to the technology - link
