Lessons learned: 7 years of energy transition, 70 projects
Some 7 years ago the Port of Rotterdam started the journey to bring the port and industrial complex in line with the Paris Climate Treaty and the European ambition to reduce CO2-emissions with 55% by 2030.
The Port of Rotterdam set up a program to help the existing industries to reduce emissions as well as attracting new investments and businesses. The program consists of four pillars: 1) constructing infrastructure for a new energy system, 2) constructing a new energy system, 3) creating a new raw materials and fuel system, 4) making transport sustainable.
Within the framework of this programme, the Port of Rotterdam Authority joins forces with private enterprises as well as public authorities to realize concrete projects. At this moment there are over 70 projects in the port area in which the Port Authority plays an active role. These are projects like carbon capture and storage (2.5 Mton per year, under construction), an open access pipeline for green hydrogen (under construction), tank terminal capacity for hydrogen carriers like ammonia, cracking facilities for ammonia, a dedicated site for electrolysers (where a first 200 MW electrolysis plant is under construction), realizing inland barges sailing on electricity, setting up a Green Corridor for container shipping between Singapore and Rotterdam etc.
With 7 years of experience in all kinds of projects, with many different partners and stakeholders, Port of Rotterdam’s director of New Business Nico van Dooren has a huge experience in energy transition projects.
He’ll make the audience part of his journey, elaborating on his lessons learned, successes and challenges.

CCS: How the European industry can decarbonize while working on sustainable solutions
Capturing and storing CO₂ (Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)) is an important technique to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere in relatively short time. CCS is mentioned by the IPCC and the IEA as temporarily necessary to enable the development of new, affordable sustainable solutions in the industry. Depleted offshore gas fields under the North Sea offer great opportunities. Porthos, the first large CCS-project in the EU, is being build right now and will start the storage of 2,5 Mton CO2 annually from 2026 on. How will CCS in Europe develop further? What infrastructure, regulation and certification are needed to create a mature CCS-market and what role is foreseen for private and public parties? Jeroen Steens is member of the steering board of Porthos and Director Commercial Delivery Port of Rotterdam will elaborate on these issues and share insights on further projects that are foreseen. Dorus Bakker is CFO of Porthos and he will dive into lessons learned during the development of Porthos, like permitting and the cooperation with the industrial customers.

How to transform from fossil to biobased feedstocks and supply chains
Rotterdam is the biggest dry bulk port in Europe. Due to its ideal location and its unparalleled depth, even the largest dry bulk carriers can be accommodated by the port of Rotterdam without any impediments such as locks or tides. Furthermore, Rotterdam offers a broad selection of service providers, terminals and ship-to-ship facilities. These USP’s brought Rotterdam in the position of market share leader on all different dry bulk segments in NW-Europe: iron ore, scrap, coal, agri, minerals and building materials. Serving all types of industry’s and energy producers in the port and our hinterland.
It cannot be denied that Rotterdam gained quite a strong position in coal volumes over the previous decades. Almost a third of all dry bulk cargo consist out of coal: energy coal and coking coal. A position that will expire since fossil products need to be phased-out to meet our climate goals.
However, our uniqe position, knowledge and infrastructure on dry bulk will not disappear. In fact, these 420 hectares and ability to handle 80 million plus tonnes on a yearly base are valuable resources. Rotterdam is eager to supply the futures industry en energy sector. As a result of the raw material transition, we see a positive outlook for Rotterdam. Waste and Biomass can be used as sustainable feedstock instead in fuels and chemical production. Both sizable sectors which perfectly can be supplied via our proven infrastructure.
For the Chemical industry in particular this wil also be of great importance. Biomass, a renewable resource, will play a significant role in the industry’s raw material flow, particularly carbon, making it more sustainable. This transition is not just limited to the production of chemicals but extends to biofuels as well, presenting a dual pathway for biomass utilization.
Uniper Benelux, a key player in this arena, offers valuable insights into these latest developments. The feedstock transition is not a distant future but an imminent reality, and its implications will be of paramount importance in the years to come. Let’s embrace this change for a sustainable future.

Sustainable transport – Working together with the port ecosystem to accelerate the fuel switch in transport e.g. the Green Corridor between Rotterdam and Singapore
Singapore and Rotterdam are among the largest bunkering ports in the world, making them vital links on the Asian-European shipping lanes. While international shipping currently uses largely marine gas oil (MGO) and low-sulphur fuel oil, sustainable alternatives such as biofuels, including biogases, are increasingly being made available. Other alternatives such as synthetic methane, hydrogen, and hydrogen-based fuels including ammonia and methanol are in various stages of R&D for future trials and deployment. Each alternative fuel has its own challenges relating to costs, availability, safety, and restrictions in range due to lower energy density compared to fossil fuels. To tackle these challenges, the two port authorities agreed to bring together a broad coalition of shippers, fuel suppliers and other companies to collectively work on potential solutions.

The North Sea in Transition to a low carbon powerhouse for Northwest Europe
The North is in a strong transition from a mature oil and gas production region towards a renewable energy powerhouse for Northwest Europe. Offshore wind is exponentially growing and in total 300 GW of offshore wind is planned in the North Sea. Several countries are developing CO2 storage projects and innovative concepts such as offshore electrolysis, platform electrification from offshore wind, floating solar and offshore energy storage are under development and pilots are planned. What is the current and future perspective of the role of the North Sea as a future powerhouse for clean energy for Europe and what are the ambitions of the large oil and gas producer in the Dutch sector, ENI Neptune Energy in that future perspective. With more information about proposed demonstration projects on offshore hydrogen PosHYdon and CO2 storage project Noordkaap.
