Yesterday, Allard Van der Molen, Senior Mining Engineer at Nobian, took part at the GET 2024 conference on the critical topic of renewable energy storage. The focus of the conference is carbon capture and storage, geothermal energy, hydrogen and energy storage, and offshore wind energy with emphasis on their critical roles in the sustainable energy transition.    In his presentation, Allard delved into the innovative use of salt caverns for hydrogen storage, highlighting how Nobian is uniquely positioned to support the hydrogen economy in Northern Europe. He also explored the strategic role of renewable energy storage solutions in balancing supply and demand, ensuring security of supply.    #GET2024 #RenewableEnergy #EnergyStorage #HydrogenEconomy #GrowGreenerTogether EAGE (European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers) 

When you think of salt, what do you think of?   At Nobian, salt goes beyond being a simple seasoning — it serves as indispensable raw material for the chemical industry. Without salt, many of the products that we rely on everyday wouldn't exist.   Watch Filemon Wesselink discover the indispensable role of salt in our operations as he visits our Delfzijl plant to retrain as a technician https://lnkd.in/ejsUJeUa   Would you like to join our team?

In a recent VNCI interview, Jorn van der Meer and Marco Waas shared insights into Nobian’s Further Together program, part of our broader Grow Greener Together initiative. This program empowers our employees to support local projects that enhance sustainability, education, and social cohesion. Jorn van der Meer, responsible for Communication and Public Affairs, emphasizes the collaborative spirit of our mission: “Grow Greener Together is the core philosophy behind what we do. We want to grow as a company, but we want to do it sustainably. It’s beautiful to see this slogan resonate internally. It’s in our company’s DNA to seek partnerships.” Marco Waas, Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer, highlights the importance of local engagement: “The direct connection between a company and its surroundings used to be much stronger. By engaging in dialogue, we understand what people think and why they might not feel comfortable with our presence. You must first understand to be understood.” Through Further Together, our employees are actively involved in their communities, from supporting local sports clubs to participating in educational initiatives. This program is not just about financial support but fostering genuine connections and understanding.
