  5. The port of Amsterdam, an energy port in transition

  6. Energy consumption is growing, production is in transition Global demandfor energy keepsgrowing ... But the importance of alternativeenergies is increasing Global energy consumption Global energymix Bron: BP Energy Outlook 2030 What does thismeanfor energy imports?

  7. It is a small step for the oil terminals to store biofuels. The share of biofuels is approximately equal to the mandatory percentage that energy producers are required tot blend (approximately 5 % in 2012). Two dedicated biodiesel plants are recently located in the Port of Amsterdam; fed by organic residues and rapeseed oil. Facilitatingan energy transition in bioenergy

  8. Why is Amsterdam interested in biomass? • Biomass is a new energy source and a driver of the Bio based economy. • Biomass transhipment fits in seamlessly with other transhipment of agri bulk • Biomass players are allready located in the port (e.g.coal terminals & agribulk terminals) • Amsterdam is perfectly suited as a renowned energy hub and having expertise of similar cargo flows. • Enormous growth potential: Five Coal-fired energy plants in the Netherlands already blend biomass.

  10. The Amsterdam Waste andEnergy company (AEB) Facts per Year: • 1,4 Million ton waste • Electricity: 1 Million MWh (eq. 285,000 Household = 75 % of Amsterdam) • District heating: 500,000 GigaJoule (12,000 Households) PoA Project: Mapping the thermal infrastructure: • Mapping Heat, Cooling and Steam in the Port area. • Suppliers and demanders • Looking for more connections and synergy • By planning locate demanders nearby supplies

  11. Wind energy in the port of Amsterdam • Amsterdam sustainable target: 40 % CO2 reduction. • Wind is the most profitable sustainable energy in The Netherlands. • Wind turbines contributes to the recognition of the port area and his identity. • The image of the wind turbines fits into the Industrial area with big scaled objects like chimneys and cranes Current Capacity is 65 MW which powers 40.000 homes. The growing target for the port area is a total Capacity of 100 MW.
