Bas Verkooijen, CEO Advario, says: “We are very pleased to join the Hydrogen Council. Our membership reflects Advario’s ambition to play a front-runner role in developing the hydrogen value chain and overall hydrogen ecosystem, leveraging our expertise and capabilities in import and export structures and logistics solutions. We are deeply rooted in the belief that partnerships drive true progress, and trust that we can accelerate the energy transition together with the other members of the Hydrogen Council to realise a greener, more sustainable future.”
Welcoming Advario and the newest members contributions to the council, Yoshinori Kanehana, Chairman of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., and Co-Chair of the Hydrogen Council, said: “We are delighted to welcome these four companies to the Hydrogen Council. The Council has seen strong growth this year with a total of 22 new members from a wide range of geographies and sectors. This highlights the rising interest in hydrogen and affirms hydrogen’s vital role to realise a cleaner and more sustainable society.”
Building on 50 years of adaptive, customer-focused storage expertise, Advario is deeply committed to delivering on its ambitious ESG agenda, ensuring sustainability is in every aspect of its business. The company’s recent partnership with Fluxys to develop a green ammonia import terminal at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges is just one example of progressive steps towards decarbonisation. The future terminal will deliver storage and takeaway solutions for ammonia, while optionally also providing facilities to convert ammonia back into hydrogen.
The Hydrogen Council continues to grow at an accelerated pace since its founding in 2017, and the momentum continues with the newest members. Using its global reach to promote collaboration between governments, industry and investors, the Council provides guidance on accelerating the deployment of hydrogen solutions around the world.
