It can make (e.g. from used cooking oil) the feedstock to produce renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel. The location in the port of Amsterdam ensures that ETA and Connex can offer their renewable feedstock to national and international customers. GPF contributes to the ambitions of the City of Amsterdam, Port of Amsterdam and the national Climate Agreement in the field of circularity and sustainability. It also brings ETA closer to its goal of generating half of its revenues from sustainable and transition fuels by 2028.
Process
The plan is currently in the feasibility phase. This means that the feasibility of the plans will be investigated together with governments and other parties. The application for permits is also being prepared. This is expected to take place in early 2025. If the process proceeds without delay, construction is scheduled for 2026. The facility is expected to be commissioned in early 2027.

Who is taking the initiative for GPF?
GPF is an initiative of VTTI (the parent company of ETA) and Connex. Connex is a trading and service company in reusable feedstock (more information: www.connex.trading). VTTI provides the storage, logistics and infrastructure of fuels worldwide (more information: www.vtti.com). With GPF, VTTI and Connex offer accessible and complete pre-treatment of residual products, to produce feedstock for the production of sustainable fuel. VTTI and Connex have committed to accelerating the energy transition and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial sector.
What will GPF look like?
The plan for GPF consists of a facility and several tanks for the storage of fuel. The plans are based on buildings that are comparable in size and colour to the current buildings at ETA.
To what extent can I contribute to this initiative?
In the 4th quarter of 2024, we will organize a number of meetings with representative organizations. This will be followed by a meeting for a wider audience, in a form to be determined. You will be informed about this in due course.
Does GPF lead to hindrance or safety risks for the environment?
Multiple permits are required for the development of GPF. When applying, the competent authority assesses whether GPF complies with the applicable laws and regulations. An environmental impact assessment (OER) process is currently being completed. The OER, formerly: environmental impact assessment, serves to map out the (possible) effects on the environment. This step is mandatory for permit applications.
Can I sell my residual products to Connex or ETA?
The smallest quantity that GPF buys is 1 truckload, or 25,000 liters.
Can I buy the raw materials that GPF produces?
No, GPF only sells its products in bulk to select partners.
