Participation in the 7th Polish Conference for Hydrogen Energy and Technologies (PCHET 2024)
On October 7-8, 2024, we had the pleasure of participating in the 7th edition of the Polish Conference for Hydrogen Energy and Technologies (PCHET 2024). The combined teams of Future Solutions and ECM closely followed the presentations regarding the current state of the hydrogen transition in Poland.
During the thematic panels, several key issues were discussed, including:
• Future development of hydrogen projects
• Financing opportunities for hydrogen projects
• Challenges related to technology maturity and availability
At the conference, our team was represented by Jakub Goryszewski (Molanote 6), Bartłomiej Okoń (LabOne ECM), Dorota Janusz (PR), Małgorzata Holiat (internal system security), and Konrad Han (President of the Hydrogen Technology Institute, ecosystem advisor).
Over the course of these two intense days, we established many valuable contacts that can significantly contribute to the development of zero-emission, decentralized cluster energy systems being built within ECM.
Key Takeaways from Energy Days 2024
On October 2-3, 2024, the team from the Future Solutions Research and Development Center, along with ECM, participated in the Energy Days conference held in Katowice. As one of the most important events in the energy sector this year, it provided a platform for discussions on the key challenges facing the energy industry.
Main topics discussed during the conference:
• Energy Prices and Market Competitiveness
The rising costs of energy and their impact on competitiveness in both local and global markets.
• Energy Security in Poland
Discussions on ensuring stable and secure energy supplies in Poland over the long term.
• Development of Wind Energy
Focus on the development of wind energy infrastructure, both onshore and offshore, as a key component of the energy transition.
• The Future of Nuclear Energy
An analysis of the potential of nuclear energy as a stable and sustainable energy source for the future.
• Hydrogen in the Spotlight
One of the most exciting topics was the future of hydrogen as an energy carrier, with an emphasis on its critical role in decarbonizing industry and the heating sector.
A Shared Future
Energy Days was not only an inspiring experience for us, but also an excellent opportunity to establish new contacts and exchange innovative ideas. Looking ahead, it is clear that the challenges we face require immediate action and collective engagement.
Stay with us as we continue our efforts toward a sustainable energy future.
Władysławowo Establishes Energy Cluster – an Innovative Solution on a European Scale!
Władysławowo, 17.09.2024 – The authorities of Władysławowo and the Research and Development Center Future Solutions, in partnership with key economic entities, have signed a letter of intent to establish the Władysławowo Energy Cluster. This joint project has the potential to become one of the most innovative energy solutions not only in Poland but also on the European stage. The cluster will promote renewable energy sources (RES) and advanced energy technologies, paving the way for sustainable development and the decarbonization of the region.
Innovative Solutions on a European Scale
The Władysławowo Energy Cluster stands out with its comprehensive approach to energy – by integrating local energy resources, businesses, and communities, it aims to become a pioneer in the field of decentralized prosumer energy. The application of modern technologies, such as BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics), hydrogen systems, and CO2 capture installations, makes this project one of the most advanced energy initiatives in Europe.
The primary goals of the cluster focus on renewable energy and sustainable development. Specifically, these include:
- Diversifying energy sources and increasing energy security through the development of local RES resources.
- Reducing emissions through investments in green technologies and modern energy management and accounting systems.
- Innovation on a European scale – the implementation of hydrogen and RES technologies will position Władysławowo as a leader in sustainable development.
- Promoting the region and creating a model energy framework for other cities in Europe.
- Establishing sustainable development – phasing the cluster’s development and increasing its potential will allow the region to follow a path of sustainable growth and gradually reduce its carbon footprint.
Who is behind the Cluster?
Key partners have joined the initiative, including the Władysławowo City Hall, Abruko Sp. z o.o., Research and Development Center Future Solutions Sp. z o.o., Ekowik Sp. z o.o., and ECM Sp. z o.o. This collaboration will enable the effective implementation of solutions that will transform the region into an energy model of the future.
The project schedule anticipates the completion of key conceptual work and the signing of the cluster agreement by the end of 2024. The use of advanced technologies employing RES, green hydrogen, and CO2 capture installations, along with the implementation of innovative IT systems, will accelerate the region’s energy transition.
By establishing the Energy Cluster, Władysławowo sets new standards for sustainable development and demonstrates that even small regions can contribute to the green transformation in Europe.
