Decarbonisation options for the Dutch industrial cluster Botlek
report
In this report the decarbonisation strategies for an industrial cluster were analysed. The area
investigated is Botlek/Pernis in the Port of Rotterdam. In total, over 40 companies were evaluated
(both individually and together), including several terminals, two oil refineries, a waste incineration
plant, combined heat and power generators, industrial gases producers, petrochemical companies
and other chemical companies. The information about the sites was gathered from MIDDEN reports,
open literature and several interviews.
The annual CO2 emitted amounts to 13.9 million tonnes (Mt) for Botlek/Pernis. Final energy use
includes 63 PJ of steam and 19 PJ of electricity. For fuel and feedstock, natural gas use is 31 PJ and
residual gas use is 57 PJ. Hydrogen produced and used, mainly as feedstock, amounts to 55 PJ. For
steam and combined heat and power generation, another 52 PJ of natural gas and 16 PJ of residual
gases are used. Material streams and energy flows were collected for the respective companies and
included in a database.
