Our company is facing many challenges, which will materially change the business environment. The gradual decarbonisation of the refining and petrochemical industry, to which the entire ORLEN Group has committed itself, is the most impactful requirement. This objective shapes the leading research and development areas, i.e., the manufacture of biofuels and green hydrogen, processing of alternative resources for fuel production, and monomers and polymers as one of the highlights of the circular economy. We are continuously working on new energy- efficiency increasing projects to reduce the consumption of primary energy sources and use the waste heat sources to the fullest extent. High energy efficiency is an essential factor in decarbonisation efforts. We are also developing research infrastructures in our research centres: ORLEN Unipetrol Centre of Research and Education (ORLEN UniCRE) and PIB (Polymer Institute Brno). They focus on essential areas for the future development of the refining and petrochemical industry, contributing to the performance of significant goals related to decarbonisation, circular economy, lower consumption of primary fossil sources, etc. These goals are defined both within the ORLEN Group and as part of the Czech Republic’s objectives and commitments. ORLEN UniCRE focuses, among others, on the manufacture of liquid biofuels as a replacement of fossil diesel oil, gasoline and coal oil. It is intensively seeking to select suitable raw materials and make their qualitative evaluations. The Centre
