Orlen

Orlen, a Polish petroleum refinery, aims to achieve climate neutrality across all scopes by 2050, aligning with the Paris Agreement.

In 2025, Orlen's projected Scope 1 emissions are about 24.16 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions are approximately 2.61 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions are anticipated to be around 213.19 billion kg CO2e. For 2024, their Scope 1 emissions were about 23.27 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were approximately 2.96 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled roughly 210.02 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2023, Orlen reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 25.36 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 market-based emissions of about 1.34 billion kg CO2e. Their Scope 3 emissions in 2023 were around 169.31 billion kg CO2e, with significant contributions from the use of sold products (about 148.77 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 10.34 billion kg CO2e). In 2022, Scope 1 emissions were roughly 27.62 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were about 1.65 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounted to approximately 175.63 billion kg CO2e.

Orlen has set several near-term reduction targets:

• A 20% absolute reduction in Scope 1 emissions from existing refinery and petrochemical assets by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline.
• A 20% absolute reduction in Scope 2 CO2 emissions from existing refining and petrochemical assets by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline.
• A 33% intensity reduction in CO2 emissions per MWh for Scope 2 by 2030, with a 2019 baseline.
• An absolute reduction in Scope 1 emissions of 13% by 2030 and 25% by 2035, relative to a 2019 base year.
• An intensity reduction in Scope 1 emissions of 40% by 2030 and 55% by 2035, relative to a 2019 base year.
• An absolute reduction of 25% in emissions from all refining, petrochemicals, and upstream activities by 2030, using 2023 as the base year.

Orlen has also committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
