New technologies in the field of energy
The main goal of the program is to support the achievement of Poland's climate neutrality by implementing solutions increasing the country's energy security and increasing the competitiveness of the Polish economy. As a result, the share of energy from renewable sources in the overall energy mix of the country will increase by 20-50% (compared to the level from 2020).
The specific objectives of the program are:
I. increasing the potential of the renewable energy industry (including prosumers);
II. development of intelligent grid infrastructure (energy);
III. lowering the emissions of the energy sector by increasing the use of biodegradable raw materials and waste products.
The strategic national and European goals in the program will be achieved through the implementation of research and development tasks with high innovative potential and a high level of technology advancement (TRL 8 - 9) in the following 6 technological areas:
- T1. Solar energy;
- T2. Onshore and offshore wind energy;
- T3. Technologies for the production and use of hydrogen;
- T4. Energy storage and energy and heat microgrids;
- T5. Energy use of waste and heat from post-process gases;
- T6. Energetic use of geothermal heat (geothermal).
Each of the above areas has been defined by 1 - 4 detailed topics describing research issues that may become the subject of implemented projects.
The program was established for years 2020-2029
The allocation for the program is PLN 800 million.
Program provides financial support in subsequent phases only to those projects that will receive a positive recommendation during the evaluation of the results of the previous phases (ie demonstrate a high probability of successful commercialization while achieving the assumed technological parameters of the solution).
