ECOLOGICAL SAFETY
Committed to Environmental Stewardship
At AAM Westgeest BV, environmental protection is more than a policy—it is a core value. We are proud to be recognized as a pioneer in ecological safety practices within the Netherlands’ oil and gas sector. Through innovative technologies and responsible operational procedures, we are actively reducing our environmental footprint while setting new industry standards.
Innovation: Gas-Cycling Technology
One of our most impactful advancements is the implementation of a gas-cycling process, a cutting-edge technology that significantly reduces harmful emissions. This method captures and recycles gases that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, thereby minimizing our contribution to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Our gas-cycling operations have:
- Reduced atmospheric hydrocarbon release by over 70%
- Lowered flaring activities by 60% in key processing units
- Improved energy efficiency across our refining and storage infrastructure
Wastewater & Spill Control
Environmental protection extends to how we manage liquids and byproducts:
- Powering parts of our terminal and admin operations with solar energy
- Evaluating low-emission fuel alternatives for logistics and transportation
- Partnering with environmental firms to develop low-carbon storage solutions
Compliance & Certifications
To ensure transparency and integrity, our operations are aligned with international environmental management standards, including::
- ISO 14001: Environmental Management Systems
- EU ETS Compliance (Emissions Trading Scheme)
- Local Dutch Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs)
Our ecological safety standards are audited regularly to guarantee sustainable performance and community trust.
