At the World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition 2025 in Rotterdam, VTTI and its partners formally handed over a joint Manifesto on Hydrogen Import Strategy to Sophie Hermans, the Netherlands’ minister of Climate and Green Growth. The presentation served as a strong call to action for accelerating the country’s commitment to a secure and globally integrated hydrogen supply chain.
The manifesto outlines the critical need for the Netherlands to develop robust policy instruments and financial frameworks that support the import and handling of hydrogen carriers, including infrastructure for large-scale ammonia storage and cracking facilities. These measures are viewed as vital for scaling up hydrogen imports and meeting national energy transition targets.
“Handing over the manifesto to minister Hermans, together with our partners, marks an important moment and a call to action to realise the full potential of hydrogen import, which is essential for a successful energy transition,” said Guy Moeyens, CEO of VTTI. “The ministry is asked to shape policy instruments including financial support on hydrogen carriers to realise large-scale ammonia storage and cracking infrastructure. At VTTI, we are proud to contribute our expertise and assets to accelerate this journey, in close collaboration with public and private stakeholders.”
VTTI’s efforts are spearheaded by its Amplifhy project, which aims to develop a scalable hydrogen import hub. By leveraging its strategic terminal locations and extensive energy infrastructure experience, VTTI is playing a pivotal role in turning hydrogen ambitions into tangible progress.
