Q&As and wrap-up
Hydrogen is going to play an important role in the transition to low carbon economy. Green hydrogen will also be seen as an alternative to natural gas needs. Developing a thriving low-carbon hydrogen sector in the UK is a key plank of the government’s plan to build back better with a cleaner, greener energy system.
For Poland hydrogen will be important for decarbonising “hard to electrify” sectors such as heavy duty and public transport or specific industries but also as energy storage. Poland and UK have both adopted their respective hydrogen strategies.
UK’s geography, geology, infrastructure, innovation and expertise make it well suited to rapidly developing a low-carbon hydrogen economy. UK Hydrogen Strategy focuses on driving progress to scale up the hydrogen economy in the 2020s, to deliver 5GW production ambition by 2030.
UK companies are already at the forefront of global hydrogen technology development. The UK’s geology, infrastructure and technical know-how make the country ideally positioned to be a global leader in hydrogen. The UK has a strong history of collaboration between government, industry and innovators to tackle climate change and grow the economy.
Poland is aiming at establishing the relevant hydrogen supply chain.
The UK’s Department for International Trade (DIT) has overall responsibility for promoting UK trade across the world and attracting foreign investment to UK’s economy. DIT is committed to helping UK businesses sell their products and services all over the world. We work mostly with UK businesses in order to support them in identifying business opportunities in overseas markets.
In order to identify commercial opportunities for collaboration between Polish and UK stakeholders and supply chains, DIT has commissioned the study to analyse the strengths and weaknesses of Polish and UK relevant hydrogen supply chains. The objective of the study is to help to facilitate business partnerships, develop hydrogen capabilities on domestic markets as well as internationally, and mutually support the development of the UK and Polish hydrogen supply chains aiming at developing our respective industrial capacities.
At this webinar experts from the Polish consultancy TOR and the UK Association of Renewable Energy & Clean Technology will present the report and key findings from the study.
We encourage consultancies, policymakers, manufacturers, technology providers and all stakeholders interested in the hydrogen economy to join this webinar.

The UK has a very enviable record in the installation of offshore wind. The UK has been driving this market for a number of years now and is the single largest country with the installed base for offshore wind with over 10 GW of installed capacity in UK waters.
UK strengths in clean industries:
- The UK is the world leader in low carbon and the statement on net zero by 2050 was announced recently. This will act as an accelerant for the transition to low carbon economy.
- We have made sizeable steps in the decarbonising our electricity – we are world leaders in offshore wind with above 10GW of installed capacity and committed to 40GW by 2030.
- We have driven the cost reduction in offshore wind as well as in solar – enabling cost competitive renewables across the world.
- Because of the experience gained from installing large number of wind farms (over 30) we have expertise in operation, maintenance and marine services. The UK has engineering and project management expertise that is essential in the successful delivery of offshore wind farms.
- The UK has developed a strong and stable regulatory framework to drive investments in the clean growth sectors.
- The huge scale of the UK industry has led to a growing and innovating offshore wind supply chain capability across the wind farm life-cycle, from surveys and feasibility, to manufacture and supply, installation, operation and maintenance, and related financial and professional services.
