EVOS Advances Liquid Hydrogen Infrastructure in Amsterdam
EVOS Terminal Amsterdam is a cornerstone of the region’s energy infrastructure and a strategic partner of H2A. With decades of operational expertise and two highly specialized terminals, EVOS continues to play a critical role in enabling the energy transition through its support for both conventional and low-carbon fuels.
The Amsterdam East terminal, operational since 1975, is the largest blending terminal in the world’s premier gasoline hub, with a diverse portfolio of stored products including gasoline, (bio)diesel, jet fuel, (bio)methanol, (bio)ethanol, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The Amsterdam West terminal, in operation since 2011, is fully automated and known for its advanced blending services, excellent deep-sea access, and efficient connection to inland markets. Together, the terminals offer a total storage capacity of nearly 3 million cubic meters.
In addition to these robust capabilities, EVOS provides value-added services such as additivation, blending, filtration, and butanization. With direct access to deep-sea berths and established links to major logistics routes, including supply lines to Schiphol Airport, EVOS is ideally positioned as a gateway for future fuel flows.
In the past year, EVOS has made notable progress in the field of hydrogen logistics, particularly in the development of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) infrastructure in Amsterdam. As interest in LOHC technology grows due to its compatibility with existing fuel handling systems, EVOS is actively preparing its terminals to receive and manage LOHC imports in collaboration with key hydrogen stakeholders. These developments support the creation of scalable, safe, and efficient hydrogen corridors, positioning Amsterdam as a leading port for hydrogen imports in Europe.
As part of this forward-looking effort, we are proud to introduce Bart van der Meer as the Chair of H2A. Bart serves as Business Development Manager New Energies at EVOS, where he leads initiatives focused on the energy transition and the company’s evolving role in clean fuel logistics. His work spans green hydrogen (via LOHC and ammonia), synthetic fuels (such as eSAF), and biofuels, pushing EVOS beyond traditional liquid storage into new frontiers of molecular and electron-based energy solutions.
With more than 25 years of experience in liquid energy carrier storage and handling across various Dutch ports, Bart brings both strategic vision and operational expertise to his role. He is a strong advocate for innovation and repurposing existing infrastructure, recognizing the value in re-utilizing EVOS assets to accelerate the energy transition without starting from scratch. Bart has been with EVOS for over three years and plays an integral role in bridging the industrial, logistical, and policy dimensions of the clean energy transition.
Under his leadership, and through EVOS’ active participation, H2A is well-positioned to advance its mission of building a clean, reliable, and scalable hydrogen economy in Amsterdam.
As a core member of H2A, EVOS exemplifies the kind of forward-thinking industrial leadership needed to accelerate the hydrogen economy. Through its continued investment in infrastructure, innovation, and partnership, EVOS is helping to transform vision into reality and enabling Amsterdam to become a hub for clean energy at scale.
