Rotterdam is not only the largest port in Europe, it is also the world’s smartest port. It has set ambitious goals with specific attention on sustainability and pioneering in innovations. This focus and transition naturally create many new business opportunities.
Biomass, steam, heat, wind and solar energy, coal and natural gas all come together in the port of Rotterdam. The port plays a key role in enabling a reliable, affordable and sustainable energy supply for Northwest Europe. Rotterdam is not only the import port for raw materials for the region; energy is also produced here in state-of-the-art power stations. Besides excellent logistic facilities for the supply of energy feedstock and raw materials, the city also benefits from the availability of sufficient cooling water, a well-developed high-voltage grid and a large petrochemical cluster.
