One of the purposes of this new institution is to reduce the cost difference between hydrogen produced in accordance with the guidelines of the delegated acts of the REDII (renewable hydrogen) and hydrogen produced from fossil fuels, and to increase the predictability of producer incomes. The institution is also designed to play a coordinating role, for instance, by collecting information on demand and supply, providing transparent information on prices and developing hydrogen market price benchmarks.\u0000 The bank is expected to become operational by the end of 2023. Particular emphasis is put on the financing of projects that contribute to the objectives of the European Green Deal, such as decarbonisation of industrial sectors that are difficult to electrify. The EHB is a key tool for driving the development and deployment of hydrogen technologies from renewable sources across the European Union. By providing financial support for hydrogen projects and supporting cooperation between EU Member States, the EHB can streamline the transition to a green hydrogen economy and contribute to Europe’s climate and energy objectives.","PeriodicalId":516881,"journal":{"name":"Wroclaw Review of Law, Administration & Economics","volume":"2003 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139893267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is necessary to mention the requirement that EU countries achieve climate neutrality by 2050, with the intermediate target being the reduction of harmful exhaust gases to 55 per cent compared to 1990. The achievement of climate neutrality particularly affects transport, which is one of the most crucial sectors of the economy in this regard. Therefore, the author will point out the process of decarbonisation of road transport in the context of both public and private transport, highlighting the most important barriers to the development of this process, using Poland as an example.","PeriodicalId":516881,"journal":{"name":"Wroclaw Review of Law, Administration & Economics","volume":"41 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140493034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim is to evaluate the impact of various personal factors on the declared abuse of sickness leave in Poland.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 The data was gathered using the CAWI survey.
