Sławomir Hinc, President of Poland’s gas transmission system operator GAZ-SYSTEM, was appointed on Wednesday (10 April) to the management board of Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE).
As part of its commitment to GIE, the President of GAZ-SYSTEM will lead efforts to increase the role of LNG and natural gas as key elements of the energy transition, while simultaneously supporting the decarbonisation process based on low and zero-emission gases, GAZ-SYSTEM said in a press release.
“We are on the eve of the adoption by the European Parliament of a new gas and hydrogen package, which introduces common rules promoting the decarbonisation of gas infrastructure and sets a formal framework for creating a European hydrogen market. The involvement of GAZ-SYSTEM in the Management Board of GIE and active cooperation in the EU is of great importance today for the sustainable decarbonisation of our economy,” said Sławomir Hinc, President of the GAZ-SYSTEM management board.
GAZ-SYSTEM has been a member of GIE since the organisation was established in 2005.
