The Polish oil and gas group Orlen Group has secured a PLN 1.7bn grant from the Polish Government to advance two crucial hydrogen programs. The funding, part of Poland's National Recovery Plan, will be pivotal in supporting the production of renewable hydrogen through electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources and low-emission hydrogen derived from municipal waste. The initiatives, namely the Hydrogen Eagle and Green H2 projects, spearheaded by LOTOS Green H2, will play a significant role in diversifying hydrogen sources and promoting sustainable practices in hydrogen production. The Hydrogen Eagle project focuses on developing renewable and low-emission hydrogen using waste-to-hydrogen technology, while the Green H2 project entails installing a 100 MW electrolyser with an energy storage system to generate green hydrogen for refinery operations at the Gdańsk fuel production site. By 2035, Orlen Group envisions expanding its hydrogen production capacity to around 0.9 GW, with a predominant share to be established in Poland. These ambitious undertakings underscore the company's dedication to fostering a greener energy landscape and align with broader efforts to achieve sustainable energy transition goals in Poland.
