Energy Transition

Vopak is developing new infrastructure solutions to actively contribute to the introduction of future vital products.

To actively contribute to the introduction of future vital products, we are focusing on new infrastructure solutions in the areas of low-carbon and renewable hydrogen (ammonia, liquid hydrogen, LOHC), CO2, sustainable feedstocks, and long duration energy storage. These future vital products are used all around us, such as sustainable transport fuels for airplanes, flow batteries for storing clean electricity, and hydrogen, which can be used to store and transport renewable energy. 

Our expertise and our presence in the main industrial clusters makes us well-equipped to actively contribute to the development of new supply chains for the energy and feedstocks of the future.

Our New Energy Strategy

Watch the video in which we explain our strategy and progress in accelerating towards new energies and sustainable feedstocks through four focus areas.
