About the project

When complete, the Greenstock Pretreatment Facility (GPF) project will be a world-class pretreatment facility for cleaning sustainable bio waste and residue feedstocks such as animal fats (AF) categories 1, 2 and 3, used cooking oil (UCO) and advanced feedstocks. After the process, the feedstock is ready for direct conversion into high-quality renewable fuels like Renewable Diesel (HVO), Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and co-processing derivates. The independent low-emission facility will convert 400.000 metric tonnes of bio wastes and residues into renewable feedstocks annually.

Our vision for the future is one in which renewable fuels are globally available, helping to reduce carbon emissions and making positive contributions towards mitigating climate change. GPF will play a pivotal role in overcoming the main challenges in renewable fuel production: quality and quantity.

We aim to offer reliable, traceable, sustainable products from supplier to end user, ensuring availability and flexibility for our customers’ increasing demands for biofuels.

Where innovation
meets opportunity

Greenstock Pretreatment Facility will offer two separate production lines covering a wide range of bio waste and residue feedstocks, from animal fats (AF) and used cooking oil (UCO) to the most difficult advanced feedstocks: a 100 kT/y line primarily focused on AF categories 1 and 2 and products with high free fatty acids (FFA) and high organic chlorides content, and a 300 kT/y line for refining all other products.

GPF's planned location at VTTI Amsterdam terminal (ETA) offers unique advantages to support your most complex business challenges. We will be focusing on feedstock volume aggregation, blending, refining, in-house quality control, logistics and handling, and sustainability services to maximize the green value of our clients' renewable feedstocks and ultimately, your biofuels.

Project in progress

Exploring Our Two Production Lines of Innovation.

Deep cleaning of waste feedstocks

for high quality, ready-to-use renewable feedstocks.

Two production lines

offering a unique degree of flexibility and segregation.

Handling the most complex and challenging feedstocks

for the fuels of the future.

Full integration

with logistical, quality control and sustainability services.

2 state-of-the-art processing lines 

The new facility will feature two independent processing lines utilizing cutting-edge refining technology from BDI BioEnergy International, a leading developer with extensive expertise. The facility will also have a storage capacity of 98,000 m³.
