W. Hebda - Natural gas in the process of decarbonisation of the Polish energy sector

W. Hebda - Natural gas in the process of decarbonisation of the Polish energy sector

In the last decades, energy security has become a major issue not only for Poland but also for Central and Eastern European countries. The Polish energy sector requires dynamic redevelopment as its current technology is obsolete and mostly carbon based (ca. 50-60% in the energy mix). The energy transition towards low-carbon energy calls for a changeover period, meaning a gradual decarbonization through gasification (in the first stage) followed by the reduction in the use of fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) in favor of renewable energy sources (in the second stage). It is believed that within the next decade or two the use of natural gas for the production of electrical energy in Poland will increase.
