The ports aim to develop sustainable transport corridors, focusing on CO2 export and hydrogen, enhancing cross-border logistics and supporting the energy transition.
Projects halted due to EU policy disputes on recycled content calculation, impacting economic viability and investment in circular economy technologies.
BP halts Rotterdam SAF project due to financial viability concerns, market challenges, and a strategic focus on oil and gas, impacting future biofuel projects in Europe.
The project, backed by Dutch and EU support, will produce 23,000 tons of renewable hydrogen annually, cutting 300,000 tons of CO₂ emissions, operational by 2027.
Production capacity increased to 1.5 million tons annually. Expansion in Rotterdam to double capacity by 2027, boosting global renewable fuels output to 6.8 million tons.
Closure due to global overcapacity, high costs, and weak demand. LYB to safely shut down by 2026. Commitment to European market and ongoing customer support remain.
Xycle secures funding to build a plant using pyrolysis to recycle 21,000 tons of plastic waste annually, operational by Q4 2026, with plans for global expansion.
Two projects in the Netherlands will produce 45,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, cutting CO2 emissions by 450,000 tons at refineries in Belgium and the Netherlands by 2030.
Two electrolyzer projects in Europe aim to produce renewable hydrogen, cutting CO2 emissions by 500,000 tonnes annually, with completion by 2027 and 2029.
The project will produce e-SAF using green methanol, aiming to cut CO2 emissions. Worley will handle engineering to ensure efficient execution and risk mitigation.
