Impact '21: Low-Emission Transport and Offshore Wind Take Center Stage
Offshore wind energy and the development of low-emission transport are the main topics of discussion at the Impact'21 conference on May 12. The event was attended by the Minister of Climate and Environment, Michał Kurtyka, and Deputy Minister Ireneusz Zyska.
Minister of Climate and Environment Michał Kurtyka, during the panel discussion titled 'How to shape the market to make offshore investments profitable and stable, and the energy price competitive?', stated that Poland is considering the development of offshore wind farms with a total capacity of 11 GW by 2040.
"In September last year, we signed the Baltic Declaration for Offshore Wind Energy in Szczecin. It was signed by eight Baltic states and the European Commission. The time has come to move towards concrete actions," said Minister Kurtyka.
Towards Low-Emission Transport
In turn, the government plenipotentiary for Renewable Energy Sources, Ireneusz Zyska, in the panel 'How to organize transport after the pandemic? How to practically "power" new transport?', pointed out that in line with the National Reconstruction Plan, the modernization of the transport system after the pandemic must also have an ecological dimension.
"The National Reconstruction Plan emphasizes that the reconstruction of the transport system after the pandemic must have an ecological dimension and provides for support for the purchase of 1200 electric and hydrogen buses in Polish cities," he noted.
He added that the Ministry of Climate and Environment is finalizing work on launching support programs for the purchase of electric vehicles and the construction of charging infrastructure for vehicles, as well as hydrogen refueling, and on amending the Act on Electromobility and Alternative Fuels.
"We want the solutions proposed in the amendment to the Act on Electromobility and Alternative Fuels to provide local governments and citizens with concrete instruments for building low-emission transport," he concluded.
