- Ambitious plans include achieving an electrolysis-based hydrogen production capacity of 0.9 GW by 2035, with a substantial portion to be developed within Poland.
- Hydrogen Eagle program aims to diversify hydrogen sources using renewable energy and waste-to-hydrogen technology, contributing to reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
- Green H2 project focuses on producing renewable hydrogen for refinery operations, including investing in high-efficiency electrolysers to support zero-emission hydrogen production.
In a significant development for Poland's energy landscape, the ORLEN Group has received a major funding boost of over PLN 1.7 billion through the National Recovery Plan. This financial injection is set to advance the company's hydrogen production capabilities significantly, supporting initiatives like the 'Green H2' and 'Hydrogen Eagle' programs. ORLEN aims to achieve a substantial hydrogen production capacity by 2035, with a focus on renewable sources and innovative technologies. The grants, facilitated by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, highlight the commitment of both state institutions and private companies like ORLEN towards sustainable energy objectives. The projects not only enhance ORLEN's position in Central Europe's hydrogen economy but also contribute to Poland's energy security and environmental sustainability goals.
