VTTI funding boost for ammonia infrastructure development

VTTI has been awarded €8 million in co-funding from the European Union’s Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme for Project Amplifhy at its Antwerp terminal, located in the Port of Antwerp.

With this funding, VTTI will conduct pre-FEED and FEED studies to develop ammonia import and cracking infrastructure in Antwerp, strengthening its role in the future hydrogen economy.

With ammonia import terminal and cracker projects in both Rotterdam and Antwerp, VTTI is uniquely positioned as the only developer advancing such projects in both key industrial hubs. Both locations have been designated as Projects of Common Interest by the European Commission, highlighting their strategic importance. Meanwhile, VTTI is also actively developing additional locations.

Additionally, as part of the CICERONE-AMMONIA project, Amplifhy Rotterdam received EU co-funding of EUR 11.6 million in 2024 for ammonia import and cracking infrastructure, further strengthening VTTI’s role in the energy transition.
