Time: 9:00 - 15:00The Lecture and Conference Center of the Poznan University of Technology, Piotrowo 2, Poznań
Organizer
Poznań University of Technology is one of the largest and most recognizable technical universities in Poland, with over 100 years of tradition in educating engineers and conducting scientific research. Its history dates back to 1919, and today the university has over 15,000 students enrolled in 9 faculties covering key areas of modern engineering, technology, and science. The academic staff consists of several thousand employees, including hundreds of experienced scientists and experts carrying out research projects in cooperation with industry and foreign partners. Poznań University of Technology has modern laboratory and research infrastructure, carries out dozens of international projects, and actively participates in mobility programs such as Erasmus+. Thanks to this, the university effectively combines a solid academic foundation with practical preparation of graduates for work in the dynamically changing world of technology and innovation.
As one of Poland’s largest energy groups, the Enea Group shares responsibility for the country’s energy security. It ensures a stable and secure supply of electricity by investing in #EneaTransformation, including renewable energy sources and the development and modernisation of the distribution network. The Group will allocate nearly PLN 107.5 billion to the implementation of #EneaStrategy by 2035.
Enea manages the entire value chain in the electricity market: from fuel, through electricity generation and distribution, to sales and customer service. The Group generates energy from both conventional sources (two major grid-connected power stations: the Kozienice Power Station and the Połaniec Power Station) and renewable sources (hydroelectric power stations in north-western Poland, wind farms across the country, and solar farms). Its operations also include thermal power generation at plants in Białystok, Oborniki and Piła, as well as coal extraction by the Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka mine, which is the main supplier of coal to Enea’s power stations.
Description
Poland’s and the European Union’s energy policies are driving a progressive energy transition aimed at consistently reducing the environmental impact of the energy sector, increasing the share of zero-emission sources in total energy production, and improving energy security.
The transformation of Poland’s power generation system is expected to rely primarily on replacing conventional power plants with renewable energy sources and nuclear power. This creates the need for a broader discussion on the role of technologies that can contribute to improving the reliability and stability of the European power system.
Given the growing importance of biofuels in the Polish energy mix and the need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, one of the key topics of discussion during the Thematic Conference on Energy Transition Technologies will be the challenges related to the development of biofuel and hydrogen technologies, as well as their respective markets.
