Lease Extension
Greenergy has extended its lease with the Port of Amsterdam for an additional ten years. This move underscores the company's commitment to long-term biofuel production in the Netherlands.
Plant Investments
Since acquiring the Amsterdam biodiesel plant in 2018, Greenergy has invested significantly to convert the facility for waste oil production. In 2024, expansion efforts increased the plant's production capacity by 25%, allowing it to process a broader range of waste oils.
Government Support
The Dutch Government has implemented policies to boost the use of biofuels, setting clear mandates for increased blending with diesel and petrol over the next five years. This creates a sustained demand for waste-based biofuels in the region.
Strategic Collaboration
Koen Overtoom, CEO of Port of Amsterdam, emphasized the importance of the partnership with Greenergy in reducing CO₂ emissions and positioning the port as a hub for renewable fuels. The lease extension supports this strategic vision and enables Greenergy to optimize its use of port facilities.
