Carbon-Free Europe, Polish Clean Energy Leaders Convene for NECP & Energy Systems Modeling Dialogue

Carbon-Free Europe (CFE), in partnership with the Polish Ministry of Climate and Environment and the Silesian University of Technology (SUT), convened Polish clean energy economy stakeholders in Warsaw on 15 May, 2024 to examine new modelling on Poland’s net-zero pathways and the updated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP). 

Anna Madyniak, Head of Energy Policy Unit, Department of Strategy and Analysis of the Ministry of Climate and Environment presented the status of Poland’s NECP update. Lindsey Walter, co-founder of CFE, then presented the results of the Poland modelling, including findings on clean heat, coal and carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS), nuclear energy, renewable resource availability, clean hydrogen, and electric vehicles.

CFE, SUT, and the Ministry then held an open dialogue with attendees from across government, academia, and industry to further identify key aspects and potential pathways that Poland must consider on its path to net-zero.

Net-Zero Poland Modelling Analysis

Ahead of Poland’s NECP submission to the European Commission, CFE, SUT, the Institute of Power Engineering, Princeton University’s Andlinger Center, and Evolved Energy Research performed an energy systems modelling study to identify pathways for Poland to net-zero emissions by 2050. This study offers key insights to help inform Poland’s NECP and future net-zero milestones, policies, national strategies, and long-term investments.
