Purpose: The study aims to investigate the role of hydrogen technology in sustainable energy in Poland and Germany. It seeks to offer a comparative analysis to fill gaps in existing literature and provide insights for stakeholders in achieving Sustainable Development Goals. Design/methodology/approach: A multifaceted approach is employed, integrating a literature review, tabular analysis, and surveys. Scientific publications, government reports, and research papers are analyzed. Tabular comparisons elucidate differences and similarities in strategies and regulations between the two countries. Surveys among social and professional groups capture public perception and attitudes. Findings: Hydrogen technology has gained significant attention as a sustainable energy source. Germany emerges as a leader with a comprehensive strategy, while Poland aligns with EU objectives but faces infrastructure challenges. Both nations have introduced regulations to promote hydrogen technology investment, although challenges such as high production costs persist. Public support is robust in both countries, with higher awareness in Germany. Research limitations/implications: The study's scope could be expanded for a more comprehensive understanding. Future research could focus on addressing these limitations and offering more granular insights. Practical implications: The study serves as a roadmap for stakeholders, offering insights that can guide policy formulation and investment decisions. It has implications for climate change mitigation efforts and could inform public engagement campaigns. Social implications: The study underscores hydrogen technology's potential in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fostering economic growth, thereby impacting various societal aspects including environmental protection and economic development. Originality/value: The study's uniqueness lies in its comparative analysis of hydrogen technology in Poland and Germany, contributing to the global discourse on sustainable development by offering practical insights for policymakers and industry leaders. Keywords: Hydrogen energy, sustainable development, Poland, Germany, energy strategies, government policies, renewable energy, decarbonisation. (original abstract)
