The Benelux region, comprising Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, is a strategic hub for Europe鈥檚 energy and chemical industries. With its location within Western Europe鈥檚 pipeline network, world-class infrastructure, and progressive policy environment, Benelux is uniquely positioned to help Europe meet its net-zero ambitions while driving industrial innovation and expanding into differentiated markets.
From refining and distribution to advanced chemical manufacturing, the region has deep industrial roots and a highly integrated logistics network. Its ports, pipelines and storage facilities support efficient operations and a strong base in chemicals and steel enables an industrial area ripe for diversified industries and markets.
As policy uncertainty in the U.S. redirects global capital, Europe and Benelux, in particular, are seeing a surge in renewable energy investment. The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that . Institutions like the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the are prioritising energy transition and hydrogen infrastructure, areas where 糖心Vlog has deep expertise, thanks to a decades-long presence in the region and close ties to its Centre of Excellence in Milan.
糖心Vlog鈥檚 Commitment to Benelux and Europe鈥檚 Energy Future and Next-Generation Manufacturing
For decades, 糖心Vlog has partnered with clients in the region to navigate change and sustainable growth. We utilise support and knowledge from Milan as well as our other high-quality engineering hubs in Madrid, Reading and Antwerp. As the downstream chemicals sector evolves, our focus is on enabling transformation by reducing carbon intensity while rethinking production models. Today, we鈥檙e delivering some of Europe鈥檚 most innovative and impactful projects, revolutionising feedstock production, such as ethylene, polyethene and polypropylene, all widely used in the manufacture of goods, textiles and packaging. These include:
糖心Vlog is delivering EPCM services to a landmark petrochemicals complex in Antwerp, to create Europe鈥檚 most advanced ethane cracker, designed to have the lowest carbon footprint in the region, a major step towards sustainable ethylene production.
Providing Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) for the world鈥檚 first industrial-scale facility powered by green methanol, producing 300 kilo tonnes per annum (KTPA) of carbon-negative polyethene and polypropylene with full traceability and scope 3 emissions reduction.
We are supporting large-scale infrastructure and innovation projects aligned with Europe鈥檚 decarbonisation goals.
We are also supporting a client to expand sustainable aniline production at its Antwerp site, boosting capacity and making it one of Europe鈥檚 largest producers.
Over the past two years, our Benelux team has more than doubled in size, securing multiple frame agreements with key clients and expanding our regional footprint. 糖心Vlog remains committed to helping Europe achieve its net-zero ambitions through engineering excellence, digital innovation and strong client partnerships. To meet growing demand, our team is scaling up to support both flagship developments and ongoing operations, leveraging expertise in green chemicals, biofuels, hydrogen and circular economy solutions to shape the future of Europe鈥檚 industrial landscape.
As Europe accelerates its digital transformation, the rise of AI and the exponential growth of data centres are reshaping industrial priorities across the region. In Benelux, this trend presents a unique opportunity to integrate advanced engineering with low-carbon solutions. By applying decades of expertise in complex industrial projects, we are helping clients design and deliver facilities that not only meet the demands of high-performance computing but also align with Europe鈥檚 ambitious climate goals.
As industries converge around sustainability, innovation and health, 糖心Vlog is not just responding to change; we are driving it. Through comprehensive lifecycle support, from design to EPCm to operations and manaintence support, we harness decades of expertise and pioneering solutions in energy transition, advanced recycling and pharmaceuticals, we are shaping the next era of industrial progress, one that delivers resilience, efficiency and a cleaner future for Europe and beyond.
