HES Botlek Tank Terminal (HBTT) has agreed on a new long-term agreement with one of its key customers, resulting in 65% of its storage capacity being dedicated to biofuels as of 1 January 2026. This achievement surpasses HBTT’s strategic target of 60% biofuels by 2028, more than two years ahead of schedule.

This milestone is a significant step in HES International’s broader sustainability strategy, reinforcing the company’s commitment to supporting the energy transition. By facilitating the growing demand for renewable fuels, HBTT strengthens its position as a forward-looking logistics partner for sustainable energy solutions.

Paul van Gelder, Group CEO of HES International, commented: “Reaching this milestone ahead of schedule demonstrates our proactive approach to sustainability and our ability to adapt to market needs. We are proud to contribute to the energy transition and to offer our customers reliable, future-proof infrastructure for renewable fuels.”

HBTT continues to invest in infrastructure upgrades and operational capabilities to support further growth in sustainable products. Several additional investments have already been defined to ensure long-term capacity and flexibility for biofuels and other renewable products.
