Opportunities for energy transformation

Energy efficiency

• reduction of GHG emissions
• lower energy consumption at refining and petrochemical production facllities
• more efficlent and less carbon-intensive power and heat generation
• more efficlent and less carbon-intensive extraction of hydrocarbons
• reduction of water consumption
• recucling as an importanat business stream

• less spending on CO2 emission allowances." data-popup>EU ETS greenhouse gas emission allowances
• less spending on imported energy supplies
• productivity gains generating higher revenue and profits
• enhancing the value of production plants through energy efficiency investments

Energy sources

• diversified energy sources
• increased energy production from own sources, including RES
• improved energy independence through lower imports of traditional energy supplies
• development and scaling up of new technologies (e.g. SMR and CCUS)

• more stable and predictable revenue thanks to power and heat generation activities
• lower operating costs thanks to RES and nuclear energy activities
• less financial dependence on imports of fossil fuels and on prices of greenhouse gas emission allowances
• greater access to financing thanks to low- and zero-carbon energy activities

Products and services

• delivery of zero- and low-carbon energy (clean electricity, low-emission heat, renewable
  hydrogen, biomethane, biofuels, synthetic fuels)
• development of non-energy-intensive products and services, including petrochemicals
• business diversification driven by new technologies (e-mobility)
• shift in consumer preferences following business model change

• zero-carbon products do not carry the cost of greenhouse gas emissions (lower carbon footprint)
• low- and zero-carbon products, preferred by consumers, generating higher profits than high-emission counterparts

Markets

• activities in new sectors (energy, e-mobility, ORLEN Paczka)
• opening up to new markets in other countries
• ability to raise funding for projects supporting the energy transition (green finance)

• ability to attract new customers through more diversified business
• development of new technologies (RES, renewable hydrogen, recycling) as an opportunity for ORLEN Group to enter new markets in other countries

Resilience

• multi-utility group operating across multiple business segments
• diversification of profit sources
• diversification of costs

• improved financial resilience thanks to more diversified revenue sources
