Liander announced that a large part of Amsterdam will be in congestion, including the port area. This means that newly established companies (leads) and existing companies will not receive new or additional electricity. In other words, the power grid is full. This congestion will affect the sustainability of business processes and products of companies in the area, and thus of the port, in the years to come. Because the port plays a crucial role in the city and port’s ambition to be climate neutral by 2050, concerns are considerable. This congestion requires the highest priority and creativity from energy companies, governments and politicians in order to be resolved.

Last Friday, Ramon Ernst (managing director Evos) and Eduard de Visser (director strategy & innovation Port of Amsterdam), on behalf of the H2A consortium, handed over the blueprint for the import of one million tons of green hydrogen via the port of Amsterdam to Diederik Samsom, Head of Cabinet of Vice President of the European Commission Frans Timmermans.

The climate problem is huge and all-encompassing. ‘That’s why my motto is: change the world and start with yourself.’ As (State) Harbour Master of the Port of Amsterdam and the North Sea Canal Area, Milembe Mateyo wants to make vessel traffic more sustainable.

Blades, towers, hubs: all kinds of wind turbine parts have recently been transported via the port of Amsterdam to the construction site of the Netherlands' largest shallow water windfarm: Windpark Fryslân. In October, the last turbine left the TMA Logistics terminal in the Amerikahaven. The windfarm - of 89 turbines in total - is now completely finished.

GIDARA Energy has chosen the port of Amsterdam as the location for its biofuel plant Advanced Methanol Amsterdam (AMA). This plant will convert previously non-recyclable waste into methanol.

The growing demand for climate-neutral hydrogen creates the necessity for the market to work properly and for transparent, efficient pricing. A hydrogen exchange will be able to facilitate both. The new hydrogen exchange will be called HyXchange.
