What does it take to develop future-focused projects in the heart of Europe, in the Port of Antwerp-Bruges and Port of Rotterdam? Nancy De Groof, our Vice President Advario Belgium, took the stage at the #Stocexpo conference in Rotterdam, to reflect on changes, opportunities... and the importance of collaboration. Advario strengthened its position in the area in 2023, by acquiring a land lease in the Port of Rotterdam (https://lnkd.in/ea49jGaA). Our Rotterdam site will complement our existing terminals in Antwerp. Our position in Belgium and the Netherlands now covers three different locations, each with a distinct profile. Advario Stolthaven Antwerp (ASA) is a large terminal with a diverse portfolio in chemicals, fuels and gases. On the opposite bank of the river Scheldt we have Antwerp Gas Terminal (AGT), the largest LPG hub in northwestern Europe and our center of gas storage expertise. In Rotterdam, Advario has the opportunity to build the terminal of the future, a terminal focused on green molecules, on a greenfield location at the heart of the Botlek. The three terminals have a different scope, and have different opportunities. Nancy: “At ASA, together with our partner Stolthaven Terminals, our focus is on the renewal and reconfiguration of our chemical park, and the reconversion of petroleum infrastructure for the storage of sustainable fuels. At AGT, together with Fluxys, we look to expand into ammonia storage. At both locations we are part of the conversation on CO2 storage. And in Rotterdam, we are exploring value-adding partnerships that include co-siting with a producer of sustainable products.” “Three different profiles, three different assets,” said Nancy, “But what they have in common is that they all fit Advario’s future-focused strategy, are built on collaboration and deep partnerships, and have the potential to play a pivotal role in the #transition to cleaner energy.”

How many trucks come through your terminal daily? Busy operators probably see several 1000 moves a day. Trucks serve a critical component in the supply chain, but the amount of carbon emissions they bring severely impacts terminals' goals in reducing their SCOPE 1 & 2 emissions. Imagine harnessing the kinetic energy of every truck flowing through your gates. The team at Sostratus Energy has developed VIAGEN to capture every one of those truck moves. Our system converts kinetic energy into stored reusable clean electricity by capturing the forward motions of passing trucks using clever hydraulic pistons. What if you could offset those trucks' carbon footprints and use the energy generated to power your terminal's operations? We are launching the product on the 17th of June at our Leeds Innovation test center, with major groups interested in attending the VIP Opening Event! If you want to supercharge your terminal, give the team at Sostratus a call.

🌟 This year, we are not only participating in several debates at Arendalsuka, but also organising an exciting event! 🚀   🗓️ Mark your calendars: 🌿Event 1: Participating in: "Hydrogen, the energy carrier of the future – Who will lead the way?" 🔹 Organiser: Rogaland fylkeskommune 🔹 Date: August 12, 10:30 - 11:30 🔹 Location: Rygerelektra 🔹Link: https://lnkd.in/eppsSHhf   💡 Hydrogen is set to become a key climate solution and a major Norwegian industry. The sector is expected to grow from 1,000 to several thousand employees by 2030. There’s a growing need for skills across the value chain, but a gap exists between what’s needed and what educational institutions provide. This debate will explore who will meet these needs, the required competencies, and the role of educational institutions.   🌿Event 2: Organising a panel discussion: "Ammonia as an enabler for emission-free shipping - What needs to be done? 🔹 Organiser: Iverson eFuels AS 🔹 Date: August 13, 11:00 - 12:00 🔹 Location: M/S Sandnes 🔹 Link: https://lnkd.in/eKS2_RCz   💡 To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping, new supply chains and partnerships are essential. We will announce a new collaboration that aims to make green ammonia available as fuel for the shipping fleet. Partnering with St1 Norge, STAVANGERREGIONEN HAVN IKS (PORT OF STAVANGER) and ASCO Group, we will explore what is needed to speed up the energy transition in shipping and create a sustainable value chain for green ammonia.   Topics to be discussed include the potential, challenges, and opportunities of the technology, regulatory frameworks, infrastructure needs, and international cooperation necessary to scale the use of ammonia as fuel globally.   Participants: Hege Økland, CEO, Iverson eFuels AS Simen Hauland, Project Manager P2X, St1 Norge Runar Hatletvedt, CEO, ASCO Norge AS Isabelle-Louise (Arne) Aabel, Communication manager, Port of Kristiansand IKS and Member of "Havnesamarbeidet", including Port of Stavanger Morten Sundt, Manager Marine Operations, Equinor Anne Jorunn Møkster, CEO, Simon Møkster Shipping AS Liv Kari Eskeland, Member of Parliament, Høyre Håvard Handeland, Mayor of Sauda Municipality Sigmund Ø.

🌍 Today, in the presence of HM King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and HM King Frederik of Denmark, INEOS and Royal Wagenborg signed a multi-year agreement that marks a significant milestone for CO₂ transportation in Europe.   This partnership will see Royal Wagenborg provide a newly built, purpose-designed CO₂ carrier dedicated to Project Greensand. This pioneering initiative, led by INEOS with Harbour Energy and Nordsøfonden, aims to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the EU. This CO₂ carrier will facilitate large-scale transport of CO₂ for storage in the Danish North Sea.   David Bucknall, CEO of INEOS Energy, stated, “The lack of dedicated CO₂ carriers has been a bottleneck for advancing CCS projects within Europe. The collaboration between INEOS and Royal Wagenborg serves as a breakthrough for the EU’s climate goals, offering a viable solution for large-scale CO₂ transport. The agreement highlights the commitment of INEOS, Royal Wagenborg, and the Netherlands and Denmark governments to achieve a sustainable and low-carbon future.”   Mads Gade, Head of INEOS Energy DK, added, “INEOS has been at the leading edge of demonstrating safe and efficient storage in the pilot phase of Project Greensand, and we have the ambition to establish the first CO₂ storage within the EU in Greensand by 2026. The agreement between Royal Wagenborg and INEOS is a very important step towards the establishment of the full value chain of CCS on an industrial scale.”   #INEOS #ProjectGreensand #CarbonCapture #CCS

The lack of dedicated CO2-carriers has until now been a bottleneck for the development of CCS in Europe. Without means of transportation to connect the dots between capture and storage of CO2, there is no CCS. With todays agreement between INEOS on behalf of the partnership behind Project Greensand and Royal Wagenborg on the delivery of a new built CO2-carrier we have taken a very big step towards the establishment of the full value chain of CCS. A very good day for Project Greensand and for CCS in Europe.

"Bjorn’s call is for us to shift our focus away from making policies to appease the doomsday heralds and to instead fix our attention on energy innovation – the historic key that opened the door to our industrial revolution and brought us the prosperity we experience today." For me this philosophy is demonstrated in the energy innovation of Rodney Allam's new clean energy startups that use natural gas, NET Power to produce electricity and the other 8RH2 to produce clean hydrogen/ammonia. This also is supported here in AB by the CEO of ATCO Nancy Southern who sees the combination of the use of natural gas with carbon capture as a logical progression to energy independence that supports green agriculture here in the west. For example we can use natural gas to produce hydrogen via 8RH2 tech and use that hydrogen in Versatile tractors built in MB that are equipped with Cummins hydrogen engines. Now that is recipe for both food and energy independence for north America!
