Blue hydrogen as accelerator and pioneer for energy transition in the industry

report
he energy transition calls for a fundamental change in our energy system as a key step in the roadmap towards a renewable and circular economy. This is a crucial challenge for the industry in the port of Rotterdam, which makes an important contribution to the national economy. These activities, however, also result in considerable greenhouse gas emissions. Successful solutions are therefore being sought in the balance between a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions and the retention, or even enhancement, of the business climate. In this way, we can ensure the prosperity of the port of Rotterdam and add value for the Dutch society. It should be mentioned that the production and use of blue hydrogen is not considered the long-term solution to climate change by the parties involved. Our aim is to kick-start the low-carbon hydrogen economy based on technology that is available today, thereby enabling rapid large-scale reduction of CO2 emissions while paving the road for the green hydrogen economy of the future.
