As part of the received scholarship, Paweł Brusiło aims to evaluate the policies and strategies for the energy transition in California in the context of activities for the popularisation of
hydrogen technologies and fuel cells in the energy and transport sector. The awarded research concept is in line with the assumptions of the European Union in achieving climate neutrality by 2050,
through increased usage of these technologies in energy production and storage, as well as by the greater use of fuel cell vehicles. Mr. Paweł Brusiło will conduct his research activities at the
