en.Wedoany.com Reported - Service Terminal Rotterdam (STR), a bunkering facility services company at the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, has announced the launch of the GreenSTR biofuel storage project. Leveraging STR's existing expertise in fuel storage and bio-blending, the project plans to construct approximately 100,000 cubic meters of storage tanks for handling biofuels such as biodiesel, methanol, and ethanol.

The GreenSTR project will be built on a vacant plot adjacent to STR's existing terminal, adding approximately 100,000 cubic meters of storage capacity. STR currently operates a fuel oil terminal in the Botlek area of the Port of Rotterdam, with an existing storage capacity of about 242,000 cubic meters, primarily serving the ARA (Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp) fuel oil market. The project aims to address the growing demand for alternative marine fuels in the shipping industry and fill the gap in dedicated infrastructure for marine fuel storage and blending.

Engineering consultancy Vicoma will serve as the engineering partner for the GreenSTR project, while Antea Group Netherlands will assist STR with project permitting. The project can handle fuel types including low-carbon products such as biodiesel, ethanol, and methanol.

As a key bunkering hub in Europe, the Port of Rotterdam's advancement of the GreenSTR project will help meet the urgent need for dedicated storage and blending facilities as the shipping industry transitions to low-carbon fuels.
