ORLEN and Equinor to collaborate on CCS technology

Poland-based ORLEN has partnered with Norway’s Equinor to explore Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) technology opportunities. The collaboration focuses on the transport and storage of CO₂ in Poland, aiming to reduce emissions and support industrial decarbonization. ORLEN and Equinor will identify potential CO₂ storage sites, including land-based and Baltic Sea locations, and assess project feasibility. This initiative aligns with ORLEN’s strategy to achieve a 4 million tonnes annual carbon capture capacity by 2035, contributing to its net-zero goals and offering services to other firms. The partnership reflects compliance with the EU’s Net-Zero Industry Act, which mandates a 50 million tonnes annual CO₂ injection capacity by 2030.
