All market participants concerned are invited to participate in a non-binding market screening procedure as part of the "Hydrogen Map of Poland" project. The survey results will be considered in hydrogen transmission infrastructure planning and enable the development of a preliminary map of hydrogen pipelines across the country.

- The EU Hydrogen and Gas Market Decarbonisation Package and the Polish Hydrogen Strategy require the decarbonisation of the national economy by increasing the share of renewable gases in the energy mix. The development of a Hydrogen Map of Poland is one of the elements enabling the determination of demand for 'green energy' and adequate design of necessary infrastructure. “My honorary patronage over GAZ-SYSTEM's hydrogen project is an expression of support for the actions that follow from the Polish Government’s policy, consistently striving to achieve the set climate goals," - said Maciej Bando, Government Plenipotentiary for Strategic Energy Infrastructure.    

- Today marks the launch of an important project to accelerate the energy transition in Poland, the 'Hydrogen Map of Poland', which we will develop in the course of a dialogue with companies interested in hydrogen production, consumption, distribution and storage. We assume that the newly built hydrogen network will be accessible to all the entities concerned. The commencement of work on hydrogen transmission infrastructure is intended to stimulate this branch of economy. “Our objective is to identify the preliminary routes of hydrogen pipelines on the basis of the survey results," - explains Sławomir Hinc, President of the Management Board of GAZ-SYSTEM.

The company intends to assess the interest in hydrogen transmission projects via the transmission network, both from the perspective of producers as well as consumers. The information collected in the market screening process will provide an overview of hydrogen demand and supply and enable the preliminary routing of hydrogen pipelines across Poland in terms of volume, timing, and coordinates. By means of the survey, the company intends to identify market needs which will allow market participants to grow their business in the years to come. 

In addition, GAZ-SYSTEM will organise two webinars in May, during which the assumptions and objectives of the “Hydrogen Map of Poland” project and all issues related to the questionnaire will be explained.  

All entities interested in contributing to the “Hydrogen Map of Poland” are requested to complete the survey questionnaire and send it in electronic format (Excel form along with the requisite GDPR clause) to: wodor@gaz-system.pl by 20.06.2024, 23:59 at the latest. 
 
The results of the market screening will be announced by 31 October 2024. 

If any confidential information is to be communicated through the questionnaire, GAZ-SYSTEM declares its readiness to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

The demand reported in the Procedure shall not oblige GAZ-SYSTEM to make any commitments regarding investment decisions in that respect. 

The Hydrogen Map of Poland project has received honorary patronage from Maciej Bando, Undersecretary of State and Government Plenipotentiary for Strategic Energy Infrastructure. 
 

 

On May 7, 2024 and May 21, 2024, webinars on the Hydrogen Map of Poland will be conducted.
