Climate Policy.

During a panel „Towards a low carbon emerging Europe economy” moderated by Wojciech Jakóbik (Editor-in-Chief of BiznesAlert.pl) at a conference Emerging Europe and the United States: Towards 2030, panelists discussed the ways of achieving the goals of climate policy.

The EU budget for a just energy transition, i.e. money for, e.g. supporting regions dependant on coal, will launch in 2021. Poland is still drafting its transition plan, but time is running out – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

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.

The dispute on climate neutrality in Polish government shows that the climate and energy policy is stuck in a dead end. This could only be resolved by a cabinet reshuffle that is to take place in the fall – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

Poland will receive about EUR 125 billion from the recovery fund and the EU’s new seven-year budget. The Just Transition Fund, which is the basic tool used for alleviating the social impact of the energy transition, will be worth EUR 10 billion. This is EUR 20 bn less than previously planned. The missing billions mean […]
