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.

4 pillars

The Port of Rotterdam Authority’s strategy towards a CO₂ neutral, circular economy rests on four pillars. Read here what each pillar entails.

Efficiency and infrastructure

A new energy system

A new raw materials and fuel system

Making logistics chains more sustainable
