The upcoming edition of ProMedia’s Belgian-Dutch Port Day will take place on 13 June in Amsterdam. Specialists from both countries will discuss how to reconcile energy transition with sustainable economic growth.
Trade magazine Flows, together with sister magazine Nieuwsblad Transport, is organising the Belgian-Dutch Havendag on 13 June. The conference takes place annually, alternately in Belgium and the Netherlands. After a successful edition last year in Antwerp, the vibrant Dutch capital has now been chosen as the venue for the congress.
In several areas, Belgium and the Netherlands are already working together today on energy transition, with their ports as key hubs. Switching to sustainable energy sources should not only reduce CO2 emissions, but also ensure long-term economic growth. But what exactly is the fuel of the future? And how useful is capturing CO2 and putting it underground?
