ORLEN has entered into cooperation agreements with three Finnish partners for the production and supply of renewable hydrogen and its derivatives. The agreements signed with ABO Energy Suomi, Nordic Ren-Gas and VolagHy Kuopio SPV will help secure hydrogen supplies during a period of growing demand in the years ahead. The Group is developing hydrogen technologies as one of the key pillars of industrial decarbonisation. ORLEN also plans to utilise salt caverns located in Poland for large-scale underground storage of the fuel.
“The Polish economy should continue to diversify its energy sources, as this is crucial for strengthening our economic and political security. The agreements we have signed open new opportunities for the development of hydrogen technologies and production capabilities in Poland”, emphasizes Wojciech Balczun, Minister of State Assets. “Hydrogen is widely regarded as the fuel of the future, and Polish companies must take part in the race to fully leverage its potential. ORLEN has the resources and the necessary know‑how to play a significant role in this market, and it will now benefit from the support of experienced partners from Finland, one of our close allies”, adds the Minister.
