Rotterdam politicians are very worried about the future of the port. There is criticism of the cabinet, but also of port alderman Robert Simons, reports AD, which quotes CDA MP Henri Bontenbal, among others. "We have made climate policy so complex that it is breaking us down," he said.
Two chemical companies announced their departure from the Rotterdam port area last week. Stalled green hydrogen projects also made headlines. The problems with industry in the Netherlands also indirectly affect the greenhouse horticulture sector, which, for example, receives CO₂ and residual heat from the port, as well as raw materials.
