Rotterdam wants to pioneer in waste recovery

Rotterdam, too, clearly sees bread in the expansion of waste recovery as a new activity in port areas. The Port of Rotterdam Authority is actively getting involved in the race to have the first plant of this type in Europe. A consortium of Air Liquide, AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals, Enerkem and the Port of Rotterdam Authority has signed a development agreement for initial investments. An initial tranche of nine million euros is now being used for detailed engineering, establishing a special joint venture and finalising the licensing procedure.
