VolagHy has entered into a strategic partnership with ORLEN, one of Central Europe’s leading multi-energy groups, to support the development of renewable hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) supply chains between the Nordics and Poland.

The agreement marks an important step in ORLEN’s energy transition strategy to 2035, where hydrogen plays a central role in decarbonising transport and industrial processes. Through this partnership, ORLEN and VolagHy will collaborate on defining future supply models for electro-based Sustainable Aviation Fuel (eSAF), as well as the logistical frameworks required to transport these products from Finland to Poland.

At the heart of the collaboration is VolagHy’s flagship eSAF project in Kuopio, Finland, currently under development. The facility is designed to produce approximately 50,000 tonnes of synthetic aviation fuel per year, using renewable hydrogen and biogenic CO₂. The project is scheduled to enter production in the early 2030s and forms the blueprint for VolagHy’s ambition to replicate and scale five eSAF plants across the Nordic region by 2040.

For ORLEN, the partnership provides access not only to future volumes of eSAF, but also to VolagHy’s project development expertise in large-scale Power-to-X and synthetic fuel production.

The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to climate neutrality, industrial decarbonisation, and the deployment of scalable solutions for hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation. By linking Finnish renewable fuel production with Polish demand centers, ORLEN and VolagHy are contributing to the emergence of a cross-border European eSAF market.

This partnership further strengthens VolagHy’s role as a leading Nordic developer of synthetic aviation fuels, backed by InnoEnergy, and underscores its mission to accelerate the large-scale adoption of eSAF in Europe.
