Using Wind Energy for Hydrogen Production : An Innovative Concept All signs point to continued strong growth. An intermediate, more conservative EU Market Outlook forecast from SolarPower Europe expects the Polish solar market to grow by 35 percent annually, meaning that it will have achieved a PV capacity of 8.3 GW by 2024. PV in Poland is booming at every level - from private and commercial PV rooftop systems to large free-standing installations, says Dr. Stanislaw Pietruszko, President of the Polish Society for Photovoltaics (PV Poland). According to the PV Poland, the number of registered small-scale systems - those under 50 kilowatts (kW) - with an average capacity of 6.5 kilowatts (kW) grew from 155,000 (992 MW) at the end of 2019 to 457,400 (3 GW) by the end of 2020.

Disputes over palm oil
Up until now, much of the lobbying over EU-Malaysia trade has revolved around the controversial issue of palm oil. In early 2019, the EU adopted the Delegated Regulation for its second Renewable Energy Directive (RED II), which will phase out the use of palm oil as biofuel in Europe by 2030 because of environmental reasons.
Malaysia, the world s second-largest palm oil producer, opened a case against the EU using the World Trade Organization s Dispute Settlement Mechanism in January. So, too, has Indonesia, the world s largest palm oil producer.
Both Southeast Asian states, which have vowed to work together to oppose the EU s decision, claim Brussels is merely engaged in discriminatory and protectionist trade practices.
