During the Summit, according to the signed agreement, Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa will have a 349-square meter stand in the so-called temporary building, located between Katowice’s Spodek arena and the International Congress Center. JSW will be able to use this space during the Partner Day. This is where Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa, the largest producer of coking coal in the European Union, will hold panel discussions, meetings with experts and other events during which the company will present itself as an environmentally oriented leader in the mining sector.
Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa is an enterprise that runs its mining operations in accordance with the slogan “We respect natural resources” and destroys the stereotypical image of a backward mining industry owing to the implementation of various innovative technological solutions. It is JSW’s ambition to be a company that excels in the development of low-carbon industry and technologies of the future. This applies, among other initiatives, to developing techniques enabling the company to obtain hydrogen from coke oven gas created in JSW’s plants, which may then be used to propel motor vehicles. The result of hydrogen combustion in vehicle engines is only water vapor. That is why JSW intends to present a hydrogen-propelled bus during the summit, for use by the COP24 guests.
The global Climate Summit will be held in Katowice starting on 3 December 2018. Events with the participation of over 20,000 guests from all countries of the world will last until 14 December 2018.
