Perspektywy produkcji gazu łupkowego – bezpieczeństwo energetyczne Polski

Still, the potential of Polish shale gas cannot be used for improving the country’s energy security or for stimulating economic growth without complex and costly investments. These comprise: liberalisation of the internal gas market so that it is based on the principle of competition, modernisation and extension of the gas infrastructure, including creation of opportunities for export of gas, as well as large investments in gas-based energy.
