Hydrogen technologies used in hydrogen extraction
Hydrogen, being the first element formed after the Big Bang and a component of stars, is the most abundant element in the universe. Hydrogen is the basic component of every star and is the element that is most abundant in the universe. Despite this, its use as an energy source on Earth is complicated and not as obvious as it may seem. So what is the problem?
Hydrogen is present in every drop of water on Earth, which would suggest that it is readily available. However, the challenge is that on our planet hydrogen is not found in free form, but bound in water molecules. While it is a highly efficient fuel and its combustion does not negatively affect the environment, extracting it from water is an energy-intensive process. The amount of energy required to release hydrogen is greater than the energy that can later be extracted from it.
Unfortunately, more than 90 percent of the hydrogen produced today comes from fossil fuels, which is associated with greenhouse gas emissions.
Despite these challenges, hydrogen technology is growing both domestically and internationally, with increasing interest in the energy, automotive and other sectors. The key to success is the development of efficient hydrogen production methods that minimize energy consumption and maximize environmental and economic benefits.

Environmental impact and energy efficiency of hydrogen extraction methods in the EU
Today, as global communities focus on carbon reduction and climate change, it is becoming crucial to understand the environmental impact and energy efficiency of different hydrogen production methods.
Currently, hydrogen is extracted from hydrocarbons such as natural gas, oil and coal. Although these processes are well mastered, their main drawback is CO2 emissions, which contradicts the idea of environmentally friendly use of hydrogen. The quest for sustainable hydrogen production challenges us to find methods that are both energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
The chart below provides an analysis and comparison of various hydrogen production technologies in terms of their environmental impact and energy efficiency.
Each hydrogen extraction method has its own unique advantages and challenges.
Electrolysis, especially when powered by renewable energy sources (RES), is considered one of the most promising and environmentally friendly methods of hydrogen production. In Poland, due to the growing share of RES, methods such as electrolysis powered by wind farms, hydroelectricity or photovoltaics are gaining importance.
On the other hand, methods such as steam reforming of natural gas and coal gasification, although now more widespread, have a greater environmental impact due to carbon emissions. However, research into CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) technologies can help reduce these emissions.
The development of hydrogen technologies in Poland also includes innovations in converting waste into hydrogen, which is a promising alternative to traditional methods. In addition, given Poland’s rich coal resources, ways are being sought to make more efficient and cleaner use of these resources in hydrogen production.
Legal regulations for hydrogen production in Poland
In the context of the rapidly growing hydrogen sector, regulations play a key role in shaping the conditions for the safety, efficiency and innovation of hydrogen technologies. In Poland, as in the rest of the European Union, the legal framework is constantly being updated to keep up with rapid technological progress and changing environmental requirements.
Timetable for development of legislation for hydrogen production
The development of legislation on hydrogen production is essential to promote innovation and investment in clean energy technologies. In the European Union and Poland, many strategic pieces of legislation set the path for the energy transition toward a low-carbon and renewable economy. Hydrogen production is regulated by a series of laws designed to ensure safety, efficiency and support the development of hydrogen technologies. These regulations are essential in light of the growing importance of hydrogen as an energy carrier and its potential to combat climate change and decarbonize the economy. Below is a timeline of the development of key hydrogen production legislation for the EU.
Legislative actions taken after February 2023 focus on solidifying definitions, criteria and methodologies related to renewable hydrogen production, emphasizing the goal of both increasing renewable energy capacity and achieving the EU’s ambitious climate goals.
Polish Hydrogen Strategy 2021
In 2021, the Polish Hydrogen Strategy was unveiled to promote investment in hydrogen technology. Currently, Poland is the third largest producer of hydrogen in the EU, but mainly produces gray hydrogen, which emits greenhouse gases. Therefore, the strategy calls for the development of methods of producing, storing and distributing hydrogen to switch to greener forms of production.
The Polish Hydrogen Strategy to 2030, with an outlook to 2040, was developed as a response to the growing importance of hydrogen in the European Union’s energy transition.
The document identifies six specific goals:
- Implementation of hydrogen technologies in the energy and heating industry;
- Use of hydrogen as a substitute for traditional fuels in transportation systems;
- Promoting the reduction of carbon emissions in the industrial sector;
- Initiate hydrogen production in newly built facilities;
- Ensuring efficient and safe transportation, distribution and storage of hydrogen;
- Establish a sound regulatory framework for the hydrogen sector.
The strategy aims to use hydrogen in power generation, heating, refining, energy-intensive industries (e.g.: paper, ceramics, glass production) and transportation to accelerate decarbonization and replace fossil fuels. A key aspect of the strategy is the development of a hydrogen economy, which includes the creation of so-called hydrogen valleys in various regions of Poland. Hydrogen valleys aim to develop industrial applications of hydrogen and integrate sectors, as well as seek business partners and optimize processes and costs.
Support programs under the strategy will cover only low-carbon hydrogen, from renewable sources and created using zero-emission technologies. Support for hydrogen production from fossil fuels will only be possible if carbon capture technologies are used. The strategy’s goals include the deployment of hydrogen technologies in the power and heating industries, the use of hydrogen as an alternative fuel in transportation, support for the decarbonization of industry, the production of hydrogen in new installations, the efficient and safe transmission, distribution and storage of hydrogen, and the creation of a stable regulatory environment.
Legislative development directions for hydrogen extraction in Europe
The direction of EU hydrogen legislation is toward accelerating the adoption of renewable hydrogen, ensuring a sustainable and decarbonized energy system, and supporting a robust regulatory framework that provides clarity and certainty for investors and stakeholders.
The legislative trend indicates a push for innovation and infrastructure development in the renewable hydrogen sector, which aims to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to the energy transition. The EU is creating a legal and operational framework that facilitates the integration of hydrogen into the broader energy system, encourages investment in new technologies and aims to significantly increase the production and use of renewable hydrogen. This development supports the EU’s broader climate ambitions as set out in the European Green Deal and the « Fit for 55 » package contained therein, reflecting a drive to become the leading market for renewable hydrogen, with both domestic production and international trade. It also reflects the EU’s strategy to address energy security concerns, especially in light of geopolitical tensions affecting traditional energy supplies. Regulatory progress also underscores the EU’s intention to harmonize standards and practices across member states, ensuring that renewable hydrogen will be a viable and integral part of the energy mix in the future. The focus on additional renewable electricity capacity and the establishment of certification systems are converging.
Green hydrogen production in Poland as a clean fuel of the future
Poland, with its booming energy sector and growing interest in low-carbon technologies, is a promising ground for the development of green hydrogen production.
Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced using electricity from renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, hydropower or others. A key element of green hydrogen production is that the entire process, from the generation of electricity to the electrolysis of water (the breakdown of water into oxygen and hydrogen), is free of greenhouse gas emissions.
Hydrogen production from wind farms
- Development and Prospects: Poland, especially its coastal areas, has great potential for wind energy. Wind farms, both onshore and offshore, can provide the necessary energy to produce green hydrogen.
- Integration with the Energy System: Using wind power to produce hydrogen helps integrate renewable energy sources into the power system, enabling better management of production variability and energy demand.
Hydrogen production from hydroelectric farms
- Hydroelectric Power Plants as a Source of Energy: Poland, although it has limited water resources, can use hydroelectric power plants to produce green hydrogen, especially in places where water availability is greater.
- Sustainable Use of Resources: It is important that hydroelectric development respect local ecosystems and water resources.
Hydrogen production from photovoltaics (formally yellow hydrogen)
- Technology and Potential: Photovoltaics (PV) in Poland is developing rapidly, offering significant potential for green hydrogen production. Using solar panels to generate electricity, which is then used in an electrolysis process to produce hydrogen, is a key element in this approach.
- Challenges and Solutions: The main challenge is to ensure the continuity of energy production, due to fluctuating solar conditions. The solution could be hybrid systems combining photovoltaics with other renewable energy sources or energy storage to enable a continuous electrolysis process.
The future of green hydrogen production in Poland
Poland, with its rapidly developing energy sector and growing interest in low-carbon technologies, is a promising ground for the development of green hydrogen production. Green hydrogen, produced using energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar, is a key element in achieving Poland’s and the EU’s climate goals.
From a long-term perspective, Poland has a chance to become one of the leaders in the production and use of green hydrogen in Europe. The development of this technology will not only contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, but can also significantly influence the diversification of energy sources and increase the country’s energy security. The key to success will be continued investment in research and development, as well as international and regional cooperation within the framework of EU hydrogen initiatives.
Green hydrogen production in Poland is at a crucial juncture, where both challenges and opportunities are shaping the future of this technology. In the context of ambitious climate goals and the energy transition, Poland has the potential to leverage its natural resources and technological innovation to become a major player in the European green hydrogen market. Realizing this potential, however, will require decisive action, both at the national level and in international cooperation, to maximize the benefits of this green and energy-efficient technology.
Hydrogen production in Poland as an opportunity for the country's energy independence
As we know, Poland announced a Hydrogen Strategy in October 2021 to promote investment in hydrogen technology. As the third hydrogen producer in the European Union and the fifth in the world, Poland has the potential to become an important player in the global hydrogen market, provided certain conditions are met.
More than a million tons of mainly gray hydrogen is produced in Poland annually, used in the chemical, refining and food industries. Production leaders are Grupa Azoty, Zdzieszowice and Przyjazn Coking Plants, PKN Orlen and Lotos Group. In view of the data, the strategy is to increase the share of low-emission hydrogen in the structure of the raw material market in Poland.
Today, despite the difficulties of transporting and storing hydrogen, Poland is coping with these challenges. Hydrogen is an excellent fuel, but its production from fossil fuels is harmful to the environment. The alternative is to mine natural hydrogen deposits or produce it from water, although the latter method is energetically costly. However, using excess energy from renewable sources – OZE, such as strong wind – to produce hydrogen can be cost-effective. Hydrogen can serve not only as a source of energy, but also as a store of energy, enabling the storage of surplus energy. In the future, hydrogen production equipment may become available to owners of photovoltaic panels, opening up new possibilities for using hydrogen in transportation and other sectors.
For Poland, which already plays a significant role in hydrogen production, it will be crucial to focus on sustainable sourcing methods, especially on developing technologies that allow the production of green hydrogen from renewable energy sources. This will be critical to maintaining the country’s competitiveness in the fast-growing hydrogen market and to contributing to global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But hydrogen production in Poland may indeed be our future.
With its position in the hydrogen market, Poland has an opportunity to play an important role in the future of this technology, especially in the context of climate change and the search for alternative energy sources.
