Stable year for small-scale LNG supplies
In 2025, ORLEN further consolidated its position in small-scale LNG supplies, delivering more than 245 thousand tonnes of liquefied natural gas to customers. This volume would be sufficient to supply all households in cities with populations of about 200 thousand for almost five years. The LNG was sourced primarily from the Świnoujście terminal, as well as from the small-scale LNG reloading facility at the Klaipėda terminal and the Group’s own production assets. Transported by road tankers, the fuel is supplied to various customers, including private consumers and businesses in areas with limited access to the national gas grid.
The LNG marketed by ORLEN originates mainly from cargoes imported by sea to the Świnoujście terminal and the reloading facility in Klaipėda, from which a combined total of nearly 13 thousand tankers were dispatched to customers last year. These volumes are supplemented by ORLEN’s own production at the Odolanów and Grodzisk Wielkopolski facilities. In aggregate, the Group marketed more than 245 thousand tonnes of LNG in 2025: 192 thousand tonnes from the Świnoujście terminal, over 33 thousand tonnes from Klaipėda, and more than 20 thousand tonnes from the Odolanów and Grodzisk Wielkopolski facilities.
"The scale of our LNG deliveries confirms the ORLEN Group’s strong position in the domestic market and our growing potential across the Baltic states. Liquefied natural gas is essential for ensuring secure and uninterrupted energy supplies, particularly in areas with limited access to gas network infrastructure. It is also a key enabler of the energy transition in Polish industry and transport. Thanks to our LNG import contracts and reserved access to reception and reloading infrastructure in Poland and Lithuania, we are well positioned to respond effectively to our customers’ natural gas requirements," emphasises Grzegorz Bujnowski, Executive Director for Gas Trading at ORLEN.
Last year, ORLEN fully utilised the LNG reloading capacity of the Świnoujście terminal, from which almost 11 thousand tankers departed, delivering 192 thousand tonnes of gas to customers. Since the terminal was commissioned in 2016, a cumulative total of nearly 51 thousand tankers have been loaded there, corresponding to roughly one million tonnes of LNG.
As for the small-scale LNG reloading facility at the Klaipėda terminal, it recorded a 32% year-on-year increase in volumes handled in 2025, resulting in the delivery of more than 8 thousand additional tonnes of LNG to customers. From the point when the facility entered service in 2020 until the end of last year, a cumulative total of nearly 102 thousand tonnes of LNG was supplied to customers.
Key recipients of the liquefied LNG include industrial customers across various sectors, as well as private consumers connected to off-grid gas systems, which rely on LNG deliveries that are subsequently regasified at local stations. LNG is also deployed in areas that, despite having access to the national gas distribution network, experience gas demand exceeding the capacity of existing pipelines. In such cases, LNG regasification stations help bridge the gap in gas supply, ensuring that customer needs are fully met.
