Rzędowska: Electromobility running on hydrocarbons…?
First we need to take a small dose of condensed knowledge and theory important from the perspective of what I want to write about.

Jakóbik: Polish terminal’s second quay – a weapon in Baltic Sea LNG war
The Lech Kaczyński LNG terminal in Świnoujście will have a second quay. It is good news because it means Poland wants to fight for the small scale LNG market on the Baltic Sea. It has not been so obvious until recently – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, BiznesAlert.pl’s editor in chief.
