The article, “The Scope and Deadlines for the Implementation of Basic Obligations arising from Methane Regulation in the Natural Gas Sector” aims to summarize the scope of the most important obligations related to the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2024/1787 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024 on the reduction of methane emissions in the energy sector (OJ EU. L. of 2024, item 1787). We invite you to read it. 😊

Przegląd Gazowniczy – artykuł TB i AW

 “Przegląd Gazowniczy” published an article by Adam Wawrzynowicz, Tomasz Brzeziński and Marcel Krzanowski titled, “The latest legislative initiatives concerning the biomethane market”. The publication is a summary and an attempt to assess the latest proposals for changes concerning the biomethane economy, including the energy and transport sectors. The article concludes that although the recently presented ideas for improving the regulatory environment are changes going in the right direction, their implementation will not remove all the limitations diagnosed so far.

In June 2024, “Przegląd Gazowniczy” (No. 2, 78) published an article by Tomasz Brzeziński titled, “Fit for 55 and the Hydrogen-Gas Package. New regulatory landscape for hydrogen, biomethane and natural gas markets”. The publication addresses the most important changes that have recently occurred in the regulatory environment of the gas industry. The latest issue also includes a report from the 9th Congress of the Polish Gas Industry, which took place in June with the participation of Tomasz Brzeziński.

Przeglądzie Gazowniczym, June 2024

In March, “Przegląd gazowniczy” published an article by Tomasz Brzeziński and Aleksandra Walczak titled, “Building and developing the EU hydrogen economy – the European Hydrogen Bank”. The publication addresses the issue of hydrogen on the European market.

Przeglądzie Gazowniczym, March 2024

In June, “Przegląd Gazowniczy” (No. 2, 78) published an article by Tomasz Brzeziński and Tomasz Siedlecki, which reviewed the major legislative initiatives stimulating the development of the renewable and low-emission gas market in Poland legislative initiatives stimulating the development of the renewable and low-emission gas market in Poland

The December issue of “Przegląd Gazowniczy” published an article by Adam Wawrzynowicz, Kamil Iwicki and Marcel Krzanowski regarding the latest national legislative proposals in the renewable gas sector. The authors set out to assess changes in the regulations governing the functioning of the gas system intended to enable the introduction of biomethane into the network. In addition, W&W’s lawyers analyzed the assumptions of the draft act amending the Energy Law (UD382) to regulate the functioning of the hydrogen system and to build greater infrastructural integration between the current energy systems.

The November issue of the magazine “Nowa Energia” published an article by Adam Wawrzynowicz, Kamil Iwicki and Marcel Krzanowski titled, “New legal solutions for biomethane and hydrogen”. The lawyers from W&W focused on the assumptions of legislative changes (including EU energy policy), the methods of their implementation, as well as the potential consequences they may have for the gas industry.

Kamil Iwicki, Adam Wawrzynowicz and Marcel Krzanowski wrote an article for the June issue of “Przegląd Gazowniczy” titled,  “Decarbonized gases – accelerating the transformation of the gas industry”.

The authors point out that the European Commission’s REPowerEU directly states that natural gas will no longer be promoted as a transitional fuel in the energy transition process. Therefore, programmes financed by the EU budget will primarily support the development of the biomethane, and the green and blue hydrogen sectors. Member States, including Poland, will have to set up an adequate hydrogen infrastructure, using both the existing natural gas system and the system dedicated exclusively to hydrogen. The text emphasizes the particular importance of building so-called multi-energy systems, i.e. close integration of the power and gas systems or – in the future – hydrogen systems.

An article by Marcel Krzanowski and Adam Wawrzynowicz appeared in the March issue of “Przegląd Gazowniczy”  titled, “The European Commission has presented two important packages of legal changes regarding the gas industry”.

At the end of last year, the European Commission published long-awaited projects to decarbonise the gas sector. The presented reform provides answers to the questions posed so far about the future shape of the regulatory environment for the natural gas and hydrogen market.

The authors analyze the proposed changes presented in the article and identify areas requiring further work.

Adam Wawrzynowicz and Marcel Krzanowski are the co-authors of an article for the December issue of ‘Przegląd Gazniczy’ titled ” The involvement of the Chamber of Commerce for the Gas Industry in the development of the hydrogen and biogas sector”.

The authors discuss activities for the development of the biogas and biomethane sectors as well as the process for building strategy and drafting legislative change.

A “Sectoral Agreement for the Development of the Hydrogen Economy in Poland” was concluded In October 2021 by representatives of the government administration, the scientific community and the business. This was followed in November by the signing of a “Sectoral Agreement for the Development of the Biogas and Biomethane Sectors”. Both processes actively involved experts and representatives of member companies of the Chamber of Commerce for the Gas Industry who have been working in the vast majority of the task teams established at the Ministry of Climate and Environment over the last dozen or so months.
