ORLEN's HySPARK Project Secures EU Grant for Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles in Warsaw
Key Ideas
- ORLEN, in collaboration with 17 global partners, secures nearly €9 million EU funding for hydrogen projects, including hydrogen-powered vehicles for Warsaw's public transportation system.
- Hydrogen will be supplied from ORLEN's HUB in Włocławek, with a refueling station at Chopin Airport set to be established by 2026, supporting hydrogen buses, trucks, and ground handling equipment.
- The HySPARK project is part of the Mazovian Hydrogen Valley Cluster, aiming to create a regional hydrogen ecosystem connecting producers with technology providers, fostering innovation and sustainability.
- Grzegorz Jóźwiak highlights the positive impact of hydrogen technology in Poland, with hydrogen buses already in use in various cities and plans to expand testing to ground handling vehicles at Chopin Airport and public transport buses in Warsaw.
ORLEN's HySPARK project, in partnership with 17 global collaborators, has secured nearly €9 million funding from the EU Clean Hydrogen Partnership programme. The project aims to develop hydrogen-powered vehicles for Warsaw's transportation system, with hydrogen supply from ORLEN's HUB in Włocławek. A refueling station at Chopin Airport is planned for 2026. ARTHUR BUS, Quantron, and ATENA will provide hydrogen buses, trucks, and ground handling equipment, respectively. The initiative is part of the Mazovian Hydrogen Valley Cluster, fostering a regional hydrogen ecosystem. The project marks a significant step towards sustainable energy solutions in Poland, with plans to expand hydrogen technology testing in public transportation and airport operations.
