ORLEN and Naftogaz sign two MoUs to expand LNG cooperation and sustainability support
- ORLEN and Naftogaz signed two memoranda establishing cooperation in LNG trading and sustainability expertise exchange.
- The first MoU targets expanded LNG trade and potential joint use of regasification and transmission infrastructure across the Baltic Sea and Central and Eastern Europe.
- The second MoU frames exchange of expertise on sustainability, access to green and sustainable finance, investor relations, GHG (including methane) reductions, energy efficiency and EU-aligned reporting.
- The agreements, signed at the Ukraine Recovery Conference, aim to diversify gas sources, increase supply flexibility and improve Ukraine’s access to the global LNG market.
Agreements signed
ORLEN and Naftogaz signed two memoranda setting a framework for cooperation on areas critical to Ukraine's energy security and long-term energy transition.
LNG, infrastructure and logistics
The first memorandum focuses on expanding LNG trade between the parties, including potential joint or coordinated use of regasification and transmission infrastructure across the Baltic Sea region and Central and Eastern Europe. It covers identification of commercial and logistical opportunities to facilitate LNG deliveries to Ukraine, increase supply flexibility and bolster regional energy security.
Sustainability and financing
The second memorandum establishes a framework for exchanging expertise in sustainability strategies, access to green and sustainable finance, investor relations, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions—including methane—energy efficiency improvements and reporting aligned with European standards. The parties intend to hold working meetings, expert consultations and study visits to support knowledge transfer and capability building.
Strategic context
The memoranda confirm a willingness to deepen cooperation to diversify sources and routes of natural gas supplies to Ukraine, make efficient use of available regasification capacity, transmission infrastructure and logistics, and support a shift from short-term emergency supply arrangements to a more resilient, diversified and lower-carbon energy architecture for Ukraine and the CEE region. The agreements were signed during the Ukraine Recovery Conference.
