Directive 2014/94 / EU of the European Parliament and the EU Council from 22 October 2014, clearly shows that Poland is behind in terms of developing infrastructure for alternative fuels. Over the next years, investments on a massive scale should be made. The most important conditions are:
- Until 2020 – more than 450 000 thousand charging points for electric cars
- Until 2025 – LNG filling stations, 50 CNG stations and some hydrogen refueling stations
- Until 2030 – ensured efficient and safe LNG storage in sea ports
Some of these plans can be considered uneconomical. For example, hundreds of thousands charging points for electric cars with minimal demand may be throwing money away. However, in the case of Directive 2014/94 / EU there is need to clearly speed up that process, otherwise Poland could be threatened by multibillion penalties. The logic seems simple: better to invest more money in infrastructure for alternative fuels than pay several billion zlotys penalty for lack of action.
