Polish multinational operator Orlen is embarking on an ambitious plan to establish a hydrogen supply network in Poland and expand it into Europe. With the successful acquisition of PLN1.7bn ($459m) in grant funding for two significant clean hydrogen projects, Orlen is set to make a mark in the hydrogen industry. The projects, Hydrogen Eagle and Green H2, aim to produce hydrogen using renewable electricity and municipal waste, primarily targeting the transport and industrial sectors. Hydrogen Eagle will focus on renewable electricity and municipal waste for hydrogen production, while Green H2 will involve a 100MW electrolyser in Gdańsk powered by renewable energy to decarbonize fuel production at the site, with a goal to utilize 350,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually by 2035. Additionally, Orlen's investment in Hystar, a Norwegian manufacturer of electrolysers, and agreements with Naftogaz group in Ukraine signify a strategic move towards energy security and a shift towards alternative fuels. Furthermore, Poland's hydrogen industry received another boost with Polenergia's green hydrogen production project in Upper Silesia, which secured significant state aid to produce 13,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually for decarbonizing heavy industry and transport.
