Amsterdam, Netherlands/ Karlsruhe, Germany, 04^th of May 2023 – INERATEC, as a leading provider of sustainable e-fuel solutions, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Zenith Energy Terminals to build a Power-to-Liquid (PtL) plant in the port of Amsterdam. The signing took place during a delegation trip to the Netherlands with the Minister of Economy of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

The PtL plant is planned to produce up to 35,000 tonnes of e-fuels per year, from locally generated and imported green hydrogen and up to 100,000 tonnes per year of CO₂ which will be captured from Dutch industry and used as a key feedstock to the INERATEC process. 

The sustainable e-fuels which INERATEC will produce in Amsterdam will contribute to the Dutch goal of achieving a circular economy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. INERATEC plans to produce and refine e-fuels including sustainable kerosene, clean diesel and CO₂-neutral gasoline, delivered directly to offtakers active in shipping, aviation and road transportation as early as 2027.

The port of Amsterdam, with its strategic location in Europe, was chosen as the preferred site for the plant, given its excellent location and access to key infrastructure.  Port of Amsterdam has placed strategic emphasis on promoting responsible operations and  circular economy principles, to further bolster its standing as a sustainable energy port. Backed by such efforts, the port of Amsterdam provides the perfect setting for an innovative plant installation.

“This project is another step towards achieving our shared goal of creating a more sustainable future,” said Philipp Engelkamp, CCO of INERATEC. “The combination of our competences will enable us to produce e-fuels on a large scale and make a significant contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions.  Not only at the production site, but worldwide.”
