Energy transition

Towards a CO2 neutral port

How can we help you?

The Port of Rotterdam Authority collaborates with companies in the port and the government on a future-proof port with net zero CO₂ emissions. That demands a change to an energy system based on fossil energy to a circular economy. To achieve that, work is being carried out on more than 80 projects in the port based on four strategic pillars.
