Orlen aims to create nine 'hydrogen hubs' across Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, with plans for more stations in major cities like Katowice, Warsaw, Kraków, Gdynia, and Bielsko-Biała. The company received €62 million in EU funding for this project, with each station expected to refuel up to 34 buses daily.
