Towards Wielkopolska Hydrogen Valley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the\u00a0beginning of\u00a0July, a\u00a0document confirming a\u00a0wish to\u00a0collaborate on\u00a0the development of\u00a0the Wielkopolska Hydrogen Valley was\u00a0signed at\u00a0the Marshal\u2019s Office of\u00a0the Wielkopolska Region in\u00a0Pozna\u0144. The\u00a0Letter of\u00a0Intent to\u00a0establish the\u00a0Wielkopolska Hydrogen Valley was\u00a0signed by\u00a0the authorities of\u00a0the Wielkopolska Region, led\u00a0by Marek Wo\u017aniak, Marshal of\u00a0the Region, and\u00a0Jacek Bogus\u0142awski, member of\u00a0the Management Board of\u00a0the Wielkopolska Region and\u00a0CEO of\u00a0the Wielkopolska Hydrogen Platform. What is\u00a0more, mayors of\u00a0the largest towns and\u00a0cities in\u00a0the region (Pozna\u0144, Konin, Kalisz, Pi\u0142a, Leszno and\u00a0Ostr\u00f3w Wielkopolski), as\u00a0well as\u00a0representatives of\u00a0local universities (Adam Mickiewicz University in\u00a0Pozna\u0144, Pozna\u0144 University of\u00a0Technology and\u00a0Pozna\u0144 University of\u00a0Life Sciences) also put\u00a0their signatures to\u00a0the document. Moreover, the\u00a0signatories also included dignitaries from the\u00a0business community: Solaris Bus\u00a0& Coach sp. z\u00a0o. o., Zesp\u00f3\u0142 Elektrowni P\u0105tn\u00f3w-Adam\u00f3w-Konin S.A., Wielkopolska Rada Trzydziestu (The\u00a0Wielkopolska Council of\u00a0Thirty), and\u00a0Agencja Rozwoju Regionalnego (Agency for\u00a0Regional Development) in\u00a0Konin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Wielkopolska<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Letter of\u00a0Intent confirms a\u00a0desire to\u00a0collaborate on\u00a0the establishment of\u00a0the Wielkopolska Hydrogen Valley<\/strong>. The\u00a0synergy of\u00a0activities undertaken by\u00a0the stakeholders will allow them to\u00a0set up\u00a0a coordinated and\u00a0integrated ecosystem of\u00a0relations to\u00a0bolster the\u00a0development of\u00a0technology, expertise, business and\u00a0education. The\u00a0aim of\u00a0the signatories is\u00a0to contribute to\u00a0decarbonising the\u00a0economy to\u00a0achieve climate neutrality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the\u00a0signing of\u00a0the Letter of\u00a0Intent is\u00a0meant to\u00a0be a\u00a0clear signal of\u00a0the willingness to\u00a0participate in\u00a0the \u201dNational Hydrogen Strategy until 2030 with the\u00a0Outlook until 2040\u201d<\/strong>. It\u00a0sets out\u00a0goals and\u00a0measures to\u00a0build a\u00a0low-carbon hydrogen economy. These goals and\u00a0measures relate to\u00a0three sectors in\u00a0which hydrogen is\u00a0deployed (energy, transport and\u00a0industry), as\u00a0well as\u00a0to its\u00a0production, distribution and\u00a0any necessary regulatory and\u00a0funding changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the\u00a0signing ceremony, Marek Wo\u017aniak<\/strong>, Marshal of\u00a0the Wielkopolska Region, underscored the\u00a0significance of\u00a0intersectoral cooperation to\u00a0promote hydrogen applications: \u201cHydrogen is\u00a0an excellent form of\u00a0energy storage that enables you\u00a0to balance energy generation from renewable sources. It\u00a0may be\u00a0deployed in\u00a0a variety of\u00a0ways in\u00a0industry and\u00a0the economy. The\u00a0time for\u00a0acquainting oneself with it\u00a0and testing its\u00a0attractiveness and\u00a0importance is\u00a0over. Currently, there are\u00a0numerous stakeholders from business, academia and\u00a0local government backing this very idea who\u00a0want to\u00a0aim for\u00a0specific, concrete applications of\u00a0hydrogen in\u00a0their areas of\u00a0activity\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dariusz Michalak<\/strong> PhD. Eng., member of\u00a0the Management Board of\u00a0Solaris, pointed out\u00a0the progress made deploying hydrogen that we\u00a0have observed over the\u00a0last few\u00a0years: \u201cHydrogen may\u00a0play an\u00a0unprecedented role in\u00a0the process of\u00a0decarbonisation.
