January 17, 2026. Polish state energy giant Orlen has begun building the first part in a planned network of 21 stations for refuelling vehicles with Bio-LNG – a renewable fuel produced from organic waste – as the firm seeks to move away from fossil fuels
The first station is due to open in the second half of 2026 in Płock, central Poland, where Orlen is headquartered. Initially, it will serve Orlen’s own fleet before being opened to external customers.
The company, which is Poland’s largest firm and runs the country’s biggest network of petrol stations, claims there is a strong interest from heavy transport firms in switching fleets to Bio-LNG-powered vehicles, provided refueling facilities are widely available.
The Płock site will serve as a pilot project and a model for further locations. It will have a tank capable of storing up to 23 tonnes of nitrogen-cooled Bio-LNG, along with safety and distribution systems.
Design work is underway on two additional stations, in Zgorzelec and Ostrów Wielkopolski, with construction expected to start next year.
