Orlen, Lotos and PGNiG are looking for synergy in the hydrogen sector. Whether or not they will end up as a single company, they should cooperate to implement the hydrogen strategy. This will allow Poland to build cities of the future, for instance in Gdańsk – Wojciech Jakóbik, editor in chief at BiznesAlert.pl, writes.

Climate policy is a result of a scientific conclusion that we should protect the climate by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It is also a subject of an ideological discussion, which may do harm to the cause – Wojciech Jakóbik writes.
