Orlen is completing the process of integrating companies producing crude oil and natural gas. The aim of this process is to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and stabilize the level of gas production.

The unregulated collaboration between nuclear and renewable energy sources may lead to them competing with each other detrimentally.

The new president of Gaz-System Sławomir Hinc wants to complete diversification and support Poland’s energy transition by engaging the company in biomethane, hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage projects.
