Future fuels insights at Stocexpo

Why is Stocexpo one of the most important meeting points in our industry?
Because this is where the future of tank storage, energy, and logistics infrastructure is shaped.

From future fuels and decarbonization to safety & regulation and digitalization & robotics – Stocexpo brings the key topics to the stage that are transforming our industry.

That’s exactly why our colleagues Holger Porath and Marcel Tilke were on site in Rotterdam last week.

A major highlight: the exchange with our partners, customers, and international decision-makers.

The conference sessions also provided valuable insights into key industry challenges:

  • Energy security and supply resilience
  • New storage solutions & infrastructure
  • Regulatory developments
  • The transition towards sustainable energy carriers

Some standout sessions for our team:

European Tank Storage in the Current Global Context: Opportunities and Challenges by Jason Rajah, Partner at Energex, and Ravi Bhatiani, Executive Director at FETSA EU. One key takeaway: Even though production of mineral oil products in Europe is declining, tank storage capacity is still increasing to ensure long-term supply security – a development Holger did not expect.

Smart, Safe and Human: The Digital Future of Tank Storage by Marcel van den Eijnden, Group IT/OT Manager, Michael Lübke, Managing Director and Verena Staab, Process Improvement Manager, all Evos. Also highlighted by both Holger and Marcel, this session delivered strong impulses on the role of digitalization, safety, and the interaction between people and technology.

Many thanks to the organizers for a great event!

We’re taking away plenty of inspiration and are already looking forward to next time.
