Erasmus Energy Club has announced a new collaboration with Royal Vopak, connecting a team of international students to work on advancing the energy transition at one of Vopak’s sites.

Over the coming 10 weeks, the students will tackle a concrete industry challenge: increasing the share of electrically generated steam while operating within the constraints of the local electricity grid. The project focuses on how industrial processes that traditionally rely on fossil-based steam can transition toward electric alternatives without overloading the grid infrastructure.

The initiative requires both technical insight and strategic thinking around infrastructure, capacity constraints and system integration, providing students with hands-on experience addressing real-world energy transition challenges.

Erasmus Energy Club expressed appreciation for Vopak’s collaboration and confidence in the partnership, stating they look forward to the innovative solutions and insights the students will develop throughout the project.
