Hydrogen buses are becoming more and more popular every year. Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk, Piła – these are just some of the large and smaller Polish cities that decide to include hydrogen buses in low-emission public transport fleets. Let’s look at the possibilities offered using hydrogen as a fuel in public transport.

Objective 4: Production of hydrogen in new installations
One might assume that Poland has long been ahead of most countries in the ongoing European race for hydrogen. For years, it has been among the leaders in its production, not only in Europe but also in the world, producing approximately 1 million tonnes of hydrogen per year. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Decarbonization of industry will be supported under the Polish Hydrogen Strategy – Objective 3.
Decarbonization of industry was mentioned as the third objective of the Polish Hydrogen Strategy by 2030 with a view to 2040. However, it is already foreseeable that this will be extremely difficult. Both Polish and European industries continue to be one of the most emissions-intensive industries, with more than 70% of their energy needs supplied by conventional fuels.
Objective. 2 Use hydrogen as an alternative fuel for transportation
We’ve been writing about hydrogen as the fuel of the future for a long time now. Its importance as an alternative fuel in transport is also emphasized by the Polish Hydrogen Strategy and it puts its use as the second of its key goals.
Objective 1. Implement hydrogen technologies in the energy industry. Is hydrogen the answer to the energy crisis?
The Polish energy sector requires transformation. Experts have been proving for a long time that the outdated thermal energy sector no longer meets climate requirements and will soon start generating significant losses, also in economic terms. An immediate modernization of current plants is necessary, and as the Polish Hydrogen Strategy shows, hydrogen is one of the most important tools for its implementation.
