The Netherlands has everything it needs to become a leader in CCU technology, contributing to a circular, net-zero society. Not only in the Netherlands itself, but also in the rest of the world. Application in its own home market provides industry with the necessary experience with the new technology and production processes and the ability to scale them up. Moreover, the Netherlands can serve as an international example. In addition, production in the home market can increase strategic independence for key raw materials.
Why in the Netherlands? We have:
- leading (bio)chemical and technological research institutes.
- A strong chemical industry willing to invest in sustainability and circularity.
- A strong knowledge and innovation sector and public-private partnerships.
- the green energy needed available. The Netherlands lies on the North Sea with offshore wind farms, and seaports for importing green hydrogen.
