CHEMOGAS TERMINAL is a fuel terminal located in the Netherlands, operating as a storage facility for fuel products. The facility is situated at coordinates 51.934688, 4.481689, and is classified as a fuel terminal within the fuel infrastructure sector. Its operational status is confirmed as active, indicating ongoing storage and distribution activities. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the European Union, including the Seveso III Directive (2012/18/EU) for major hazard sites, which applies to fuel terminals handling significant quantities of hazardous substances. Additionally, the ATEX Directives (2014/34/EU) govern equipment and protective systems used in explosive atmospheres, relevant to vapor risks associated with fuel storage. The Netherlands has a robust network of fuel terminals supporting its role as a major European energy hub. As a fuel terminal, CHEMOGAS TERMINAL plays a key role in the regional fuel supply chain, providing storage capacity that supports distribution to end-users. The facility's location in the Netherlands, a country with extensive port and pipeline infrastructure, enhances its strategic importance for fuel logistics. Its operations contribute to the stability and security of fuel supply in the region.
Environmental context
The facility is located in the Netherlands, a low-lying country with a high water table, which increases the risk of groundwater contamination from potential spills. Fuel terminals typically employ secondary containment measures such as dikes and double-walled tanks to mitigate spill risks. Proximity to sensitive receptors like waterways and residential areas necessitates strict adherence to environmental regulations, including the EU's Water Framework Directive and national soil protection laws.
