ORLEN’s second hydrogen station in Poland

By 2030, PKN Orlen envisions an international network of over 100 hydrogen refuelling stations.

ORLEN has inaugurated its second public hydrogen station in Poland in the city of Katowice. The new facility will be supplied by the hydrogen HUB launched earlier this year in Włocławek.

The new addition has brought the number of ORLEN Group’s public hydrogen refuelling stations to four, two in Poland and two in the Czech Republic.

Built at ORLEN’s traditional fuel station at 22 Murckowska Street along the arterial route leading from the city to the A4 motorway, the facility operates 24/7, serving both commercial and private hydrogen-powered vehicles.

Equipped with two dispensers, it offers a 350-bar system tailored for heavyweights like buses and trucks, and a 700-bar option for passenger cars. With a minimum capacity of 630 kg of hydrogen, the facility is capable of fuelling up to 20 buses and five passenger vehicles daily.

In the coming years, further hydrogen refuelling facilities are set to be launched across Poland: Bielsko-Biała, Gorzów Wielkopolski, Wałbrzych, Kraków, Włocławek, Gdynia, Piła and Warsaw. These rollouts will form the second stage of the Clean Cities – Hydrogen Mobility in Poland project.

By 2030, PKN Orlen envisions an international network of over 100 hydrogen refuelling stations, weaving through Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
