Biomass trade
Biomass commodities exchange
CKade, in collaboration with BiomassConsultancy, developed a business case for Port of Rotterdam Authority for the establishment of world's first biomass commodities exchange. A biomass exchange will increase the import and processing of biomass in Port of Rotterdam and strengthen its position as biomass main port for Europe. To further support the development of a biomass exchange, CKade and BiomassConsultancy set up a formal collaboration with APX-ENDEX, an energy derivatives exchange.

Promotion of biomass trade and sustainability
CKade and BFP International launched the Rotterdam Biomass Commodities Network (RBCN). RBCN is an informal platform that brings together traders and other parties active in the biomass supply chain to exchange information and establish new alliances. Started in 2009, RBCN quickly developed into a recognized event for the biomass sector and makes an important contribution to a positive development of the biomass trade and industry.
As of January 1st, 2011, RBCN has been established as an independent foundation. RBCN commits itself to develop and capitalize the opportunities for the industry of a sustainable energy supply and production of biomaterials. To read the complete press release please click here.
