To further advance cooperation between Taiwan and Poland in the field of hydrogen energy, the 2nd Taiwan-Poland Hydrogen Working Group Meeting was convened on December 16 and hosted by Poland. The meeting was co-chaired by Mr. Chung-Hsien Chen, Deputy Director General of the Energy Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), Taiwan, and Mr. Dariusz Kucel, Director of the Department of Electromobility, Fuels and Hydrogen Economy at the Ministry of Energy of Poland. The meeting served as an important platform for both sides to review progress and deepen exchanges on hydrogen-related policies and technologies.
During the meeting, Taiwan and Poland exchanged views on hydrogen promotion policies, low-carbon hydrogen source certification mechanisms, the current status of green hydrogen research and development, and hydrogen refueling station demonstration projects. These discussions reflected the shared commitment of both sides to advancing hydrogen as a key solution for decarbonization across multiple sectors.
Representatives from Taiwan and Poland also explored a range of potential cooperation areas. These included the application of water electrolysis-based low-carbon hydrogen production technologies for synthetic fuel production, support for energy transition efforts in fertilizer and refining industries, fuel cell power generation applications for transportation and data center power supply, and hydrogen bus certification and related regulatory considerations. In addition, given Poland's higher demand for heat during the winter season, combined power and heat applications using fuel cells or electrolyzers were identified as promising areas for deeper bilateral cooperation.
The ongoing operation of the Working Group builds on the solid foundation established through the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Establishment of the Taiwan-Poland Hydrogen Cooperation Working Group in 2023. In September 2025, Taiwan's Energy Administration led a Taiwan-Poland Hydrogen Delegation to Poland, engaging with key government institutions and visiting representative hydrogen-related organizations, including ORLEN, ZE PAK, Hydrogen Poland, and the Lower Silesian Hydrogen Valley Association. Through continued dialogue and collaboration, Taiwan and Poland have strengthened alignment in hydrogen policy, technology development, and industrial cooperation. Looking ahead, both sides will continue to leverage the Working Group as a communication platform to enhance policy coordination, integrate industrial value chains, and promote diverse hydrogen applications, jointly advancing toward a net-zero and sustainable energy future.
