ORLEN's Plock refinery is now certified under the KZR INiG sustainability scheme, allowing the company to process approximately 100,000 tons of bio-based feedstocks annually. Planned upgrades are expected to increase this capacity to around 150,000 tons.
The certification verifies compliance with EU requirements and enables co-hydrotreatment of bio-based materials alongside fossil fuels. Currently, bio-based feedstocks can account for up to 3.5% of the refinery's feed, with ongoing tests to increase this share to 5%. ORLEN aims to expand its domestic feedstock base, including crops like camelina and mustard, supporting Poland's energy transition and agricultural sector.
