Fuel company PKN Orlen plans to open a number of hydrogen refuelling stations around Poland by 2025.
Polish fuels group PKN Orlen plans to buy the country's first hydrogen-powered locomotive, the company has announced.
Hitting the streets in 2022, the bus fitted with a Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen fuel cell will also have five composite tanks, each with a capacity of 312 litres and a full refuelling should take a few minutes, with an estimated reach of 350km on one full tank.
Polish fuels group Grupa Orlen could become “the Central European leader in hydrogen fuels” on the back of plans to build a network of hydrogen hubs from renewable energy sources in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The government will undertake all necessary activities for Poland to become a hydrogen hub, with Hydrogen Valley to be located in Rzeszów, south-eastern Poland, the prime minister said on Tuesday.
The Climate Ministry has been working on a Polish Hydrogen Strategy in order to make it easier to win EU funds for modern technical know-how. The announcement was made by the deputy climate minister and government commissioner for renewable energy sources.
Poland's leading fuel company PKN Orlen will start constructing its first hydrogen filling stations by 2021, company board member Jozef Wegrecki told PAP on Friday.
Poland's Solaris Bus & Coach company will deliver 12 hydrogen-powered city buses to Bolzano, Italy. Bolzano is the first city to try out hydrogen-run public transport vehicles. The contract also includes an eight-year service agreement.
Hydrogen retrieval installations in industry, infrastructure for cars or locomotives driven by hydrogen and widespread hydrogen-powered public communication are to be the basis of a hydrogen revolution in transport, claim the gas's advocates.
