The article is related to a phenomenon of Open Innovation (OI), which is a substantive opposition to so called closed innovation, which assumes that creating value needs to be controlled to succeed. There were main assumptions of Open Innovation presented, which is making multisharing capitals, concentrating enterprises, organizations, scientific entities, aimed at fulfilment of a common goal which is creation and development of innovative products. The role of networks and stakeholders was analysed in the context of implementation and usage of outer knowledge, access to new markets of abilities, information etc. In the text the focal points were the determinants of implementation of open innovation and clusters as the source of innovations and synergy of benefits. In the context of essence and assumptions of Open Innovation, the Cluster Bioenergy for the Region and deENet network were analysed

The a im of the paper is to analyze projects focused on decentralized energy supply systems, energy - optimized design and construction, as well as energy - efficient industrial processes and sustainable energy supply concepts. In view of the above, projects such as the following were analyzed: "Regiony w 100% Odnawialne" ("100% Re- newable Regions), "KLIMZUG", " Zabytki i Energia " ("Monuments and Energy"), "Klimaregio", "Sieć elektroenergetyczna przyszłości" ("The Power Engineering Network of the Future"), " Polsko - niemiecki dialog klastrów" ("Polish - German Cluster Dialog"), "Energooszczędne budownictwo i mieszkanie" ("Energy Efficient Construction and Housing"), "dEcoSense", "Manager Energetyczny – IHK" ("Power Engineering Manager - IHK") d "Okrągły stół ener getyczny Północnej Hesji" ("Northern Hesse Energy Round Table")

The article presents the potential of hydrogen production and storage in Poland. Fossil fuel decomposition (including Steam Methane Reforming, Catalytic Partial Oxidation, Auto-Thermal Reforming and coal gasification), biological material decomposition (biological and thermochemical methods) as well as nuclear technologies are analysed as key techniques of hydrogen production in Poland. The total technical potential of hydrogen production is estimated at the level of 37 million Mg on an annual basis within the whole country. Coal gasification is described as the most perspective technology of hydrogen production. The article covers also an overview of hydrogen storage possibilities in phorous materials and polymers, and the use of hydrogen as a fuel in transportation.
