Greenergy already owns two major biodiesel manufacturing facilities on the east coast of England, at Immingham and Teesside, making it Europe’s largest manufacturer of biodiesel from waste. These plants were both also originally designed to process vegetable oils and have been successfully adapted by Greenergy to process waste oils with a wide range of different quality characteristics.
The location in Amsterdam benefits from deep-water access, allowing for break bulk on long-haul shipments of waste oils. It will also allow for growth in Greenergy’s supply of waste-based biodiesel to customers across Europe.
Under a long-term agreement, Oiltanking will provide Greenergy with storage facilities for raw materials and finished biodiesel, as well as a range of support services.
“Oiltanking has successfully found an experienced new owner for the biodiesel facility,” said Jan Willem van Velzen, managing director, Oiltanking Amsterdam B.V.
“Oiltanking will also be investing into its own infrastructure in order to accommodate Greenergy’s logistical needs. As Greenergy’s logistical partner we are proud to become an integral part of this green sustainable supply chain.”
“Port of Amsterdam is delighted to welcome Greenergy, a leading and highly-respected manufacturer of biodiesel from waste, in the port,” said Roon van Maanen, director circular & renewable industry at Port of Amsterdam.
“This will further allow us to develop our circular ambitions and is also putting Amsterdam as one of the major ports involved in sustainable fuel production.”
