In Poland, GAZ-SYSTEM has completed a study dubbed ‘The Hydrogen Map of Poland’ covering 178 hydrogen production, consumption, distribution and storage projects in Poland. The firm said that the overarching objective of the study was to obtain information about the estimated potential of the future hydrogen market in Poland and its possible regional concentration by province. The data collected in the survey will provide a solid basis for further conceptual work towards the determination of market demand for hydrogen transmission service, the firm said. Conclusions from the data provided by survey respondents demonstrate that the declared domestic production will be increasing after 2030, and will stabilize at 1.11 million tons per year after 2040, with the highest concentration of production projects in North-West Poland. The hydrogen consumption figures collected in the survey also show an upward trend reaching 1.27 million tons in 2030 up to 2.62 million tons in 2040, with the highest demand reported in the central and south-west regions. The study also showed that the main barriers to hydrogen market development include the absence of available transmission infrastructure and barely emerging cooperation between hydrogen producers and consumers.
