Poland may become a green hydrogen tycoon

In 2050, Poland may become one of the most competitive producers of green hydrogen in the European Union. In addition, we could export it to other countries, using the already existing infrastructure – e.g. the Yamal gas pipeline.
According to analysts from the Polish Economic Institute (PIE), in the next three decades Poland could become a very competitive producer of green hydrogen. The production of hydrogen based on energy from onshore wind energy would be particularly economically advantageous in Poland. The average cost of energy would be in the range of approx. €2.33-3 per kilogram of hydrogen and approx. €70-92 for one megawatt hour (MWh), according to economists from the Polish think tank.
If we were to rely on wind energy in the development of hydrogen production and we would produce this renewable gas at an average cost of €2.6 per kilogram and €78 per megawatt hour, Poland, along with Sweden, Croatia and Ireland, would be one of the most competitive hydrogen producers in the EU.
