Energy
Hydrogen
The transition from fossil to renewable raw materials has been definitively set in motion in order to make North Sea Port a CO2-neutral port by 2050. Hydrogen will play an important role in this transition, and the demand from companies in the port area for green hydrogen will therefore increase. By combining the production and import of hydrogen, North Sea Port has the potential to evolve from the largest hydrogen hub in the Benelux into the largest in Europe.
Carbon Capture Utilisation & Storage
North Sea Port will become a CO2-neutral port by 2050. As a number of industries in our port area inherently produce CO2, we are investing 50 million euros in infrastructure for the capture, utilisation and storage of carbon (CCUS). Concretely, that means we are investing in infrastructure for the transport of liquid CO2, in the storage of CO2 under the seabed, and in the conversion of CO2 into new raw materials.
Electrification
North Sea Port is focusing on developing into an energy port. Through hydrogen, CCUS, heat exchange and electrification, we are supporting companies in the port area to meet their climate objectives. The many solar and wind farms in the port and at sea supply them with green energy, including for the production of green hydrogen.
