In their own words

About the company & team

VPR Energy and WPU are part of the globally operating Vitol Group and are located in Europoort-Rotterdam.

VPR Energy operates one of Europe's most energy-efficient refineries: a flexible split refinery with a processing capacity of 140,000 barrels per day. Here, we process gas condensate and crude oil into, among other things, naphtha, kerosene, gas oil, and residual fuels.

In addition to the refinery, a new plant is being built: WPU. This plant converts plastic waste into valuable raw materials for new products. The installation is expected to initially process 80,000 tons of plastic waste per year, with the ambition to expand this capacity to 150,000 tons per year. This will make WPU one of the largest chemical recycling plants for plastic waste in Europe.

The heavy pyrolysis oil produced at WPU is processed in the adjacent VPR Energy refinery. The light pyrolysis oil is supplied directly to the petrochemical industry. In this way, VPR Energy and WPU together make a concrete contribution to a more circular plastics economy.
