ISPT, Groningen Seaports and Chemie Park Delfzijl join forces in this years conference. All parties believe they can accelerate the energy transition and that they can play an important role in making the right choices in the chain.
Institute for Sustainable Process Technoloy (ISPT)
The Institute for Sustainable Process Technology (ISPT) is leading the way in industry focused solutions on sustainability. We believe a sustainable future requires more than technological innovations: it requires collaboration. The annual ISPT Conference provided a platform for this.
Our goal is first and foremost to connect different stakeholders who are making the process industry more sustainable. That’s why we initiate projects and match organisations to make their highly complex industrial processes more sustainable.
We are based in the Netherlands but our work crosses borders. Our partners are mostly Dutch and Belgian companies – big and small – with common interests and a shared vision on the transition towards a CO2-neutral, circular economy in 2050.
ISPT is always open for more participants. Please feel free to contact our passionate team of professionals, they are looking forward to answer any questions you may have.
Groningen Seaports (GSP)
Groningen Seaports (GSP) is the port authority of two seaports: Delfzijl and Eemshaven, located in the province of Groningen. Both ports serve as key hubs for industrial activities, logistics, and energy production.
Delfzijl is one of the oldest ports in the Netherlands and has historically played a significant role in industrial shipping and bulk cargo handling. Eemshaven, on the other hand, is a major centre for offshore wind energy, data centres, and other industries focused on sustainability and innovation.
Groningen Seaports benefits from a strategic location for trade and access to Northern European markets, with connections by sea, rail, and road. The focus on renewable energy and sustainable industries, such as wind farms and hydrogen projects, aligns with broader ambitions for a green future in the region.
Groningen Seaports plays a vital role in the import and export of energy and energy carriers. Eemshaven is an important logistics hub for the offshore wind energy sector, with many wind turbines supplying the Dutch power grid being imported and installed there. Additionally, plans are underway in Eemshaven for the production and export of green hydrogen, a promising energy carrier for the future.
Furthermore, Groningen Seaports provides infrastructure for the supply of LNG (liquefied natural gas) and other conventional energy carriers, while simultaneously working on the development of new, sustainable energy sources such as hydrogen and biofuels. The port facilities enable the import of energy for local use as well as export to other parts of Europe, making Groningen Seaports a crucial link in international energy trade and the transition to a sustainable energy economy.
Chemie Park Delfzijl
Chemie Park Delfzijl is a highly integrated, dynamic, and sustainable chain of companies that provide and process high-quality products and services. Thanks to these strong customer-supplier relationships, the availability of natural resources, and excellent logistical connections, Chemie Park Delfzijl has developed into an advanced value chain of national significance.
The common foundation lies in the extraction of sustainable raw materials, which are upgraded through high-tech processes into chlorine, hydrogen and lye. These base products, in turn, serve as primary and supporting materials for numerous applications in sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles, paper, coatings, motor oil and detergents.
Modern factories of Delamine, DGR, Lubrizol, Nobian, Nouryon, OCI Methanol Europe and Teijin Aramid, professional service provision of Bilfinger, Falck, JPB, J.Wildeman S&L and Parkdiensten Eemsdelta, innovative (pilot) factories of Avantium and Photanol, and challenging initiatives of Adven, BioBTX en HyCC concerning electrification, circular chemical industry and hydrogen, together form our fascinating world of chemistry and technology. More than a thousand highly educated professionals manage and support complex processes worth over three billion euros in a safe manner.
