Policy Guidance for the Ministry of Energy and Ministry of Climate and Environment of Poland
The new Ministry of Energy and Ministry of Climate and Environment face numerous challenges that will shape Poland’s energy and industry transition for decades to come. At the same time, the ministries have an opportunity to unlock capital and accelerate the deployment of clean technologies at scale. Achieving this will require coordinated action across government.
The ability of the Ministry of Energy and Ministry of Climate and Environment to work effectively with other ministries and stakeholders from regulatory authorities to industry and civil society will determine the success of its actions in the coming months. CATF is prepared to support the ministries in this process by identifying priority actions across power system decarbonisation, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, nuclear energy, methane abatement, and geothermal energy. The following policy guidance document outlines key policy priorities and recommended actions for the ministries across these six strategic areas.
The recommendations presented in this document point to several critical areas of focus:
- Policy harmonisation and resilience
- Technology optionality
- Investment certainty
- Regional leadership
