Polish energy company Orlen<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, a member of the Bioenergy Association of Ukraine<\/strong>, has begun construction of the first part of a planned network of 21 stations<\/strong> for refuelling vehicles with liquefied biomethane (Bio-LNG)<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first station is due to open in the second half of 2026 in P\u0142ock, central Poland, where Orlen is headquartered. Initially, it will serve Orlen\u2019s own fleet before being opened to external customers.<\/p>\n\n\n

Orlen operates the largest network of petrol stations in the country<\/strong>. The company claims that major transport players are showing considerable interest in switching their fleets to Bio-LNG-powered vehicles, provided that filling stations are widely available<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The P\u0142ock site will serve as a pilot project and a model for further locations. It will have a tank capable of storing up to 23 tonnes of nitrogen-cooled Bio-LNG<\/strong>, along with safety and distribution systems.<\/p>\n\n\n

Design work is underway on two additional stations, in Zgorzelec and Ostr\u00f3w Wielkopolski, with construction expected to start soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The construction of the first Bio-LNG station in Poland in P\u0142ock is the beginning of a larger change that will strongly support Orlen in its pursuit of becoming a leader in the green transformation in the fuel sector. I hope that the project will also serve as a model for other countries in the region”<\/em>, \u2014 Orlen\u2019s executive director for gas trading.<\/p>\n\n\n

Biomethane and hydrogen energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In July, Orlen announced that its subsidiary PGNiG BioEvolution<\/strong> was building Poland\u2019s first biomethane plant with a Bio-LNG module. The project is expected to produce more than 7 million cubic metres of biomethane a year<\/strong>, to be converted into fuel for heavy goods vehicles. The investment costs are estimated at 180 million zloty (\u20ac43 million)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The developments are part of Orlen\u2019s strategy, unveiled earlier this year, to have more than 25% of its fuel offering come from renewable sources within a decade.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The firm has also been investing in hydrogen energy projects. In June, it\u00a0secured\u00a0more than 1.7 billion zloty<\/strong> (\u20ac400 million)<\/strong> in grants from European Union funds for that purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orlen is also developing a network of hydrogen refuelling stations for buses, trucks and passenger vehicles. Thus, the company has already opened three public hydrogen filling stations in Poland<\/strong>. By the end of this decade, Orlen aims to have 111 hydrogen refuelling stations <\/strong>operating in Poland (57), the Czech Republic (28) and Slovakia (26).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
