KEY FIGURES

• ACE Terminal will start with facilities for the reception, storage and transfer of ammonia for the Northwest European market.
• The terminal will be expanded in phases to include ammonia cracking, enabling imported ammonia to be converted back into hydrogen and fed into the Northwest European hydrogen backbone.
• A Final Investment Decision (FID) is planned for 2029, with the first phase expected to become operational in 2032.
• The project targets a hydrogen import capacity of 0.5 Mtpa by 2040.
• ACE Terminal aims to reach its target capacity of 1 Mtpa of hydrogen imports by the late 2040s.

Project description

ACE Terminal is a planned import hub for green ammonia and hydrogen in the Port of Rotterdam. The terminal will offer services for receiving, storing and transferring ammonia for the Northwest European market.

Through a phased development, the project will also provide ammonia-cracking facilities. These facilities will convert imported ammonia back into hydrogen, allowing it to be fed into the Northwest European hydrogen backbone.

ACE Terminal is being developed by long-term partners Gasunie and Vopak as part of their joint ambition to support and enable the energy transition.

“ACE Terminal is developed by long-term partners Gasunie and Vopak as part of their joint ambition to support and enable the energy transition. The Port of Rotterdam has a long history of being the main energy port for Northwest Europe and is therefore best positioned to proceed in hosting the energy flows of the future.”
