AkzoNobel, Eneco and Groningen Seaports Invest in Sustainable Steam Generation
AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands - AkzoNobel has signed a multi-year agreement to purchase sustainably generated steam from Dutch energy provider Eneco. The partnership will help to reduce the company's CO2 emissions by more than 100,000 tons a year.
The agreement became possible after Eneco was given the go-ahead to retrofit its biomass facility - Bio Golden Raand in Delfzijl - to produce steam in addition to electricity. AkzoNobel will now purchase sustainably generated steam for the next 12 years, as well as investing in new infrastructure at the Delfzijl Chemical Park.
