Action to minimise climate impact 

Reducing the impact of our activities on climate has been one of the ORLEN Group's most important priorities for years. Greenhouse gas emission reduction targets are a key element of the ORLEN Group's business strategy, and adaptation to climate change is essential for the company's further development. We respond to the challenge of climate change by engaging in the energy transition and decarbonization.

Targets by 2026

  • Implementation of systems for measuring emissions of unregulated methane, e.g., LDAR, on the extraction assets operationally managed by ORLEN.
  • Development of guidelines for setting decarbonization targets for key suppliers of the ORLEN Group.

Targets by 2030

  • 13% reduction of absolute emissions in scope 1 and 2 in the refinery, petrochemical and Upstream.40% reduction in emission intensity in the energy sector.
  • 10% reduction in Net Carbon Intensity.
  • Zero routine flaring and near-zero methane emissions on Upstream assets operationally managed by ORLEN.
  • Coal face-out in energy production.

2035+ Ambitions

  • 25% reduction of absolute emissions in scope 1 and 2 in the refinery, petrochemical and Upstream.55% reduction in emission intensity in the energy segment.
  • 15% reduction in Net CarbonIntensity(NCI).
  • Coal face-out by 2035.
  • Net Zero by 2050.

Targets by 2026

  • Launch Baltic Power, the pioneer offshore wind project with capacity of 1,2 GW (developed jointly with Northland Power).
  • Roll out a public network of EV chargers.

Targets by 2030

  • 9 GW of installed capacity in RES.
  • 2,700 fast EV charging points in Poland.
  • 0.8 GW of installed capacity in energy storage systems (BESS).
  • 21.1% share of RES in the fuel basket.

2035+ Ambitions

  • 12.8 GW of installed capacity in RES.
  • 1.4 GW of installed capacity in energy storage systems (BESS).
  • 6,000 fast EV charging points in Poland.
  • 0.6 GW of installed capacity in SMR.

Targets by 2026

  • Development of adaptation plans addressing keythreats to the ORLEN Group's assets.

Targets by 2030

  • Implementation and systematic updating of adaptation plansfor key threatsto the ORLEN Group's assets.

2035+ Ambitions

  • Development of a comprehensive climate resilience system, including infrastructure projects and innovative technologies that minimize the impacts of climate change on operational activities and local communities.
