ENERGY TRANSITION

Successfully navigating the global energy transition requires the support of lawyers with in-depth knowledge of both the energy industry and regulatory issues. KKG Legal has all the resources, including knowledge and experience in both conventional energy sector and with investments in renewable energy sources and new technologies in the energy industry, to be a real support in the energy transition. We consult both the public and private sectors, and our consulting services cover a wide variety of solutions and technologies, grounded in both national and European regulations.

We support Clients in the full range of energy transition matters, from project development, financing and construction, to mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and joint venture projects, as well as detailed regulatory consulting services. We have participated in pioneering projects, working with our Clients on innovations and providing strategic advice. We are also well equipped to consult and represent Clients in disputes arising out of the energy transition, including international arbitration and risk management issues.

We provide services for various energy transition assets. We are paying great attention to the development of the hydrogen market, which, described as a fuel of the future, is becoming an important element in the energy transition, including in the decarbonization of the energy, industrial and transportation sectors. KKG Legal has extensive expertise in legal consulting services for hydrogen projects, offering regulatory, financing and implementation support for hydrogen technologies. Our lawyers regularly participate in key industry conferences and have authored numerous publications on the legal framework of the hydrogen market in Poland and Europe.

In addition, KKG Legal offers legal support for so-called carbon management, including legal advice for investments based on carbon capture, storage and utilization (CCS/CCUS) technology. These technologies are a key component of decarbonization strategies, especially in those industries with process emissions. Our lawyers actively participate in the public discourse on the shape of regulations for CCS/CCUS technologies. KKG Legal also has experience in consulting on EU ETS and emissions trading, including at the interface with restructuring proceedings.
