Abstract
This article presents the potential of hydrogen production and storage technology in Poland. The decomposition of fossil fuels (methane reforming using steam, partial methane oxidation, autothermal reforming and coal gasification), decomposition of biological material (biological and thermochemical methods) and nuclear technologies as possible key methods of hydrogen production in Poland are discussed. The total estimated technical potential of hydrogen production was set at 37 million Mg per year nationally. Coal gasification was the most prospective technology. The methods of hydrogen storage in porous materials and polymers were also analyzed. The possibilities of using hydrogen in transport were also presented.
