Experts and business representatives will seek answers to this and other questions at the Polish Oil and Gas Congress in October.<\/p>\n<p>The energy transformation is a long-term process that cannot happen overnight. Business and society constantly need energy and raw materials, meaning the transition must evolve gradually, funded partly by traditional energy sector profits that also finance advanced technologies applicable to offshore wind and nuclear energy.<\/p>\n<h4>Energy Security in Central Europe<\/h4>\n<p>In Central Europe, where renewable energy sources can cover up to three-quarters of demand due to geographical constraints, blue fuel remains a crucial system stabilizer. Recent crises, from the pandemic to the war in Ukraine, have underscored that access to gas and oil guarantees national security and economic stability.<\/p>\n<p>The intensive use of gas is projected to continue for at least two decades until large-scale, low-emission sources like nuclear energy are fully implemented, while ongoing oil demand drives investments in resource bases and processing efficiency.<\/p>\n<h4>Rising Global Demand and Industrial Needs<\/h4>\n<p>Global electricity demand will rise due to digital technologies, reindustrialization, and developing nations, making a transitional phase with traditional fuels like natural gas necessary before zero-emission technologies dominate.<\/p>\n<p>According to the International Energy Agency&#8217;s World Energy Outlook 2025, demand for oil and gas will remain high through the middle of the century, serving vital roles in industry, households, heating, and petrochemicals.<\/p>\n<h4>ORLEN\u2019s Regional Gas Hub Strategy<\/h4>\n<p>ORLEN is expanding hydrocarbon production and trading, utilizing the \u015awinouj\u015bcie LNG terminal, the upcoming FSRU terminal in Gda\u0144sk, and regasification capacities in Lithuania and France, alongside a chartered fleet of modern methane carriers.<\/p>\n<p>With its scale, infrastructure, and strategic connections, ORLEN positions Poland as a regional gas hub while exploring biogazel, carbon capture, and hydrogen economies.<\/p>\n<h4>Upcoming Congress and Industry Debates<\/h4>\n<p>The Polish Oil and Gas Congress in Warsaw on October 21-22 will address geopolitical challenges, supply chain disruptions, reindustrialization, and industrial applications of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Partner events and the Young Professionals Forum will focus on new technologies, machine learning, and strengthening domestic industrial capabilities as part of ORLEN&#8217;s broader transition efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experts and business leaders will gather at the Polish Oil and Gas Congress in Warsaw this October to discuss why hydrocarbons remain vital for energy security and industrial transition.
