Agreement Overview
ORLEN and Krajowa Grupa Spożywcza (KGS) have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a biomethane portfolio in Poland. The collaboration aims to construct biomethane production facilities, reduce CO2 emissions, and enhance Poland's energy security and grid stability.
Resource Optimization
The agreement includes optimizing in-house resources such as agricultural and post-production waste. It also involves securing farmland for applying digestate, a byproduct of agricultural biogas plants, as fertilizer.
Production Scaling
The partners plan to scale biomethane production by identifying suitable sites, starting with KGS-owned plots. They will also work on securing administrative consents and certificates of origin for biomethane production and distribution.
ORLEN's Biomethane Strategy
ORLEN aims to deploy up to 0.24 billion m3 of biomethane annually by 2035 to meet its National Indicative Target. This will be sourced from wholly-owned plants, joint ventures, and offtake agreements. The company is constructing Poland's first biomethane plant with a bio-LNG module in Głąbowo, with a capacity of over 7 million m3 per year.
Existing Infrastructure
ORLEN currently operates three agricultural biogas plants in Konopnica, Buczek, and Wojny-Wawrzyńce. These facilities contribute to the company's strategy of consolidating its position as a leading alternative-fuels player in the region.
