leveraging the existing infrastructure and
jetty at the Advario Gas Terminal in the port.
–Vopak: This infrastructure provider has
acquired a former refinery to develop
a green energy and chemicals hub. As
part of the plant, Vopak is developing an
ammonia terminal.
–VTTI: Under Project Amplifhy, storage
provider VTTI is providing a network of
ammonia import terminals and crackers
across Europe.
Industry
–Vioneo: Vopak’s Energy Park is already
attracting inward investment, with AP Moller
Holding committing a €1.5 billion equity
investment into subsidiary company Vioneo
to develop a fossil-free plastics plant on the
repurposed site.34
–Green hydrogen consumers: The underlying
infrastructure in the port gives industrial
companies access to hydrogen from
international sources:
–TotalEnergies’ Antwerp refinery will be
supplied with green hydrogen from Air
Liquide’s electrolyser (more detail on the
project can be found under the Port of
Rotterdam case study where the electrolyser
is based). –In September 2025, ammonia producer
CF Industries Holdings shipped 23,500
tonnes of low-carbon ammonia to the Port
of Antwerp for chemicals and materials
manufacturer Envalior to use as feedstock.35
Other linked projects:
–Antwerp Refinery Carbon Capture and
DeNOx (ARCaDE): An earlier stage project,
ARCaDE aims to be the “first large-scale
CCS, retrofitted on hard to abate process
emissions in an EU refinery”.36 TotalEnergies
has committed €400 million to the project for
its Antwerp Refinery and the EU Innovation
fund has provided a €228 million grant to
accelerate development.37
–Ecluse: A pipeline network in the port providing
steam from Indaver’s waste-to-energy site to
five companies. The companies use the steam
as needed, allowing them to turn off their own
steam boilers.
–Warmtenetwerk Antwerp North: A residual
heat network will be developed utilizing
residual heat from Indaver’s rotary kilns.
Malting company Boortmalt has signed a long-
term commitment for the first phase of the
project. In the second phase, grid operator and
multi-utility company Fluvius will link a district
heating network.
Specific financing benefits enjoyed by the cluster
are summarized in Table 5.
