Summary

Siemens Energy and Polenergia signed a letter of intent pertaining to cooperation in the area of industrial application of high-efficiency cogeneration, as well as introduction of solutions that enable sustainable production and use of hydrogen.

 

Siemens Energy, a leading producer and supplier of energy and gas technologies, and Polenergia, the largest Polish private, vertically integrated energy group, decided to enter into a close cooperation for the development of modern technologies in the area of decarbonisation of the industry and the power sector. The outcome of their joint activities will be implementation of pioneer hydrogen technologies, which are viewed as technologies of the future.

Both parties declare cooperation that will be focused on the Polish market that is in need of efficient solutions that curb the negative impact of business operation on the climate and the natural environment.

Growing prices of electricity and emission allowances induce the energy-intensive Polish industry to search for mechanisms that could reduce the costs of electricity and thermal energy used in technological processes, with simultaneous decrease of the carbon footprint of products.

Stabilisation of production deriving from the RES requires performance of modern low-emission projects based on natural gas. Flexibility of such technology will make gas installations the preferred option for increasing the installed capacity in the domestic electric energy sector in the years to come. Such solutions will also be a prelude to the introduction of pioneer hydrogen technologies, which Polenergia announced in its strategy for years 2020-2024 presented in May this year.

“We believe in hydrogen and we want to take the position in this sector on the domestic market as quickly as possible. The Nowa Sarzyna CHP Plant, as well as the planned new gas units are going to be ready for the combustion of green hydrogen, which is going to contribute to the building of a zero-emission energy group in the future. To this aim, we have sought a seasoned partner, who already possesses verified and modern technologies of long-term provision of energy with significant reduction, or even complete elimination of CO2, starting with highly-efficient gas co-generation or efficient electrolysis of the production of green hydrogen, which in the future will be used to supply our gas units,” says Michał Michalski, Ph.D., President of the Management Board of Polenergia.
