Renewable Fuels Study for the Port of Amsterdam
How Energex helped:
Provided comprehensive market analysis across bio- & e‑fuels (ethanol, biodiesel, HVO, methanol, e‑fuels) gases & LOHC (ammonia, biomethane, hydrogen, LOHC) and CO₂ (capture, storage and export pathways), covering:
- Market drivers, policies (European and Dutch level), mandates and competitive environment
- Supply & demand outlooks for NWE to 2050
- Mapping of production pathways, technology readiness and expected trade flows
Techno‑commercial evaluation of renewable fuels handling requirements:
- Segregation, blending, tank configuration, utilities, safety and logistics considerations
- Infrastructure constraints including land availability, connectivity (rail, barge, road, pipeline) and utilities
- Competitor analysis including positioning of other ARA ports and integrated hub developments
Economic and opportunity assessment:
- Ranked opportunities by expected market size and feasibility
- Identification of bottlenecks and mitigants
- Stakeholder engagement mapping and regulatory context evaluation

Commercial Advisory – Energy Transition
The Engagement:
Energex conducted a feasibility assessment to identify viable participation options for renewable fuels, including biofuels, e‑fuels, gases (ammonia, hydrogen, biomethane & LOHC), and CCS
The Client:
Port of Amsterdam
The Challenge:
Identify and prioritise feasible renewable fuels opportunities and understand the infrastructure, regulatory and commercial implications
Duration:
2 months
Tangible Impact:
- Reviewed the feasibility of renewable fuel opportunities across bio & e‑fuels, gases and CO₂ by quantifying trade flows and expected volumes
- Delivered a ranked set of participation options based on commercial attractiveness, infrastructure readiness, and regulatory alignment
- Identified critical infrastructure upgrades (e.g. tank configuration, utilities, materials compatibility, connectivity) required for each product group
- Mapped bottlenecks and potential mitigants, including land constraints, utility requirements and pipeline/distribution connectivity
- Benchmarked the client’s competitive position against other ARA ports, highlighting strategic advantages and gaps
- Established a clear roadmap for decision‑making, including sequencing of short‑, medium‑ and long‑term opportunities
- Provided a structured monitoring and evaluation framework using agreed ranking criteria to track evolving market dynamics and update priorities
