Poland Invests $581M in Green Hydrogen Production Facilities

Poland's development bank BGK has formally signed agreements for PLN 2.117 billion ($581 million) in non-repayable loans to five domestic companies for investments in green hydrogen projects with a combined capacity of 343 MW.

The funding, announced October 9, 2025, represents one of Europe's largest national investments in green hydrogen infrastructure and positions Poland as a potential leader in the emerging hydrogen economy.

The selected projects will produce green hydrogen using renewable electricity through electrolysis, targeting applications in heavy industry, transportation, and energy storage. The facilities are expected to be operational by 2028.

'Green hydrogen is crucial for decarbonizing sectors where electrification is challenging,' said a BGK spokesperson. 'These investments will create a hydrogen ecosystem that supports Poland's industrial competitiveness while meeting climate goals.'

The projects align with the EU's hydrogen strategy, which aims to install 40 GW of renewable hydrogen electrolyzers by 2030. Poland's investment contributes significantly to this target while reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

Major industrial players including steel producers and chemical companies have already expressed interest in securing green hydrogen supply from the new facilities, signaling strong domestic demand for the clean fuel.
