Botlek Steampipe
The project
The project is about an extension of the steam system of AVR, a waste processing and energy company in Rotterdam. The steampipe is intended to supply some industrial players in the Rotterdam Botlek area with steam so that they can turn off their gas-fired boilers. The steampipe must be built as a multi-user and open-access system to secure government subsidies.
