The Polish Gas Company (PSG) has published a gas network capacity map, which could become a key tool supporting the identification of the most strategic locations for biomethane plant construction and streamlining the process of connecting them to the gas network. This tool has enormous potential for planning gas infrastructure investments and predicting further network development, and also facilitates the analysis of areas where expansion may be necessary.

Adam Wawrzynowicz emphasizes that the map is particularly important because it allows for better communication between biomethane plant investors and gas network operators, facilitating the entire investment process.

In his presentation, he discussed, among other topics:

– EU climate goals and their implications for the construction sector.

– ETS 2 – the extension of the emissions trading system to the construction and transport sectors, including forecasts of CO2 emission price increases.

– Social Climate Fund – support for households at risk of energy poverty.

– The rising cost of gas heating and its potential impact on property owners and investors.

One of the key points of the event was the panel “Biogas and Biomethane – Building an Efficient Distributed Energy Sector,” moderated by Adam Wawrzynowicz. The discussion focused on the challenges and opportunities for developing this industry in Poland, and Wawrzynowicz emphasized the growing importance of the competitiveness of the European economy in the context of the Clean Industrial Deal, which aims to accelerate decarbonization and secure the future of the industry.

Panel participants pointed out that the sector is developing dynamically – nearly 440 biogas cogeneration plants are already operating in Poland, and as many as 800 biomethane plant designs are awaiting the issuance of connection conditions, with 300 already having them issued. Artur Zawisza emphasized that existing installations should be the starting point for further action. Kamil Kozłowski pointed out that the industry is increasingly focusing on larger projects – currently submitted environmental applications already concern installations with a capacity of over 1 MW, often even 2 MW or more.

Lectures in the “Hydrogen and Biomethane” program at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow were led by Adam Wawrzynowicz and Kamil Iwicki. The classes focused on legal regulations regarding renewable gaseous fuels, such as hydrogen, biogas, and biomethane.

The Symposium organised by the Chamber of Commerce of the Gas Industry was another important event. During the conference, Adam Wawrzynowicz presented a proposal to convert a portion of natural gas reserves under the SoS Regulation to biomethane. This concept was met with great interest from participants, confirming the growing importance of renewable energy sources in the gas sector.

These discussions open up new opportunities and directions for development in renewable energy.

During the second day of this year’s symposium, W&W was represented by Managing Partner Adam Wawrzynowicz, who delivered a presentation on changes to the natural gas supply security system in 2025.

This year’s topics focused on the role of gaseous fuels in the country’s energy and industrial policy. Strategic visions for the gas industry in the coming years, the development of the hydrogen economy, biomethane, and decarbonized gases, as well as mechanisms for supporting investment financing in the gas industry, were also in the spotlight.

The event, organized by the European Business Center, brought together many distinguished experts from the worlds of science, politics, and business. Adam Wawrzynowicz, managing partner of W&W, moderated the panel “Energy – Security and Development.” Participants focused on energy prices for energy-intensive and industrial consumers, the development of renewable energy sources, and the issues of regulation and development investments in the energy sector.

The Chamber of Commerce for Natural Gas was represented in the first panel by Adam Wawrzynowicz, managing partner at Wawrzynowicz & Partners. Participants in the debate sought to answer the question of the extent to which the state should participate in creating demand for hydrogen. The current market structure and the changes needed to enable faster development of the hydrogen economy were discussed.

It is worth noting that the guest of honor at the conference was Minister of Climate and Environment, Paulina Henning-Kloska, who presented the Ministry of Climate and Environment’s efforts to develop new legal regulations that would apply to hydrogen market participants.

The conference brought together many important figures from the worlds of science, business, and politics. Wawrzynowicz and Partners and the ENERGIA.EDU.PL portal had the privilage of being event partners.

The conference featured valuable panels and debates on the challenges and strategic concepts related to the future of the energy sector in Poland. Among other topics, the issue of infrastructure modernization and the importance of legal regulations and local governments in promoting energy transformation were discussed.

Tomasz Brzeziński, partner at Wawrzynowicz & Partners, conducted a workshop on the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the reduction of methane emissions from the energy sector, organized by the Chamber of Commerce for the Natural Gas Industry, at the Warsaw Gasworks Museum at Kasprzaka 15 in Warsaw.

The 9th PPLNG and bioLNG Conference in Gdynia is now behind us! On October 6-7, 2025, the 9th PPLNG and bioLNG Conference – one of the key events for the gas industry in Central and Eastern Europe – took place at the Pomeranian Science and Technology Park in Gdynia. Over 150 participants from Poland and abroad met to discuss the importance of LNG and bioLNG in the energy transition and decarbonization of transport. This year’s theme was “LNG and bioLNG: Pillars of Europe’s Energy Stability.”
