Poland’s Gaz-System company is considering the construction of a Hydrogen gas line through the Baltic and storing Hydrogen reserves in salt mines.
The Nordic-Baltic hydrogen Corridor is an initiative that aims to transport hydrogen from Finland, through the Baltic states and Poland to Germany. Gaz-System has established cooperation with the operators of the gas transmission network from the countries through which this pipeline would run.
The scheme also aims to handle recaptured Carbon storage as a way to combat CO2 emissions. The Czech Republic and Bulgaria are drafting government documents on the construction of the first CO2 storage facilities. Companies owned by the Polish State Treasury are considering pumping CO2 to the Baltic seabed or onshore in salt caverns. Emission allowances prices are an increasingly important component of business costs and companies need to report emissions levels when making business decisions.
Marcin Chludziński, the president of Gaz-System in an interview with BiznesAlert.pl, said:
“We are one of the operators that are co-creating the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor, which is to strengthen the region’s energy security, decrease dependence on imported fossil fuels, and develop a quick decarbonisation path in significant sectors of the economy, including the industry, transport, power generation and district heating.”
