The firm has launched a market consultation on adding ammonia storage to the Vopak Energy Park Antwerp facility, it said in an emailed statement on Thursday.
The firm is aiming to gauge market interest and gather insights on potential demand, and it intends to complete a pre-FEED study by the end of this year. Operations may start in 2029 if feedback is positive.
