A unique opportunity in education. This autumn, our Rotterdam neighbour, Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), is launching a new series of programmes aimed at the future leaders of the energy transition. The programme will be run by EUR’s business school, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM), one of Europe’s best institutes in this field. FinCo Group is delighted to be one of the 15 founding partners of this programme, which offers courses and specialisations at both bachelor’s and master’s levels, as well as to managers who have been in the industry for a while.
Anyone who has studied or been involved in the energy transition in recent years knows how incredibly complex this issue is and how important it is that different parties work together. RSM wants students and managers to not only gain knowledge about the energy transition, but to also be trained in an integral, comprehensive strategy and approach. So that they not only know about technological innovations, but also about legislation, finance, geopolitics, capital markets, human behaviour and social innovations. We need a wide-ranging knowledge on the matter in order to be able to implement the necessary changes in the forthcoming years.
A lot of attention will also be paid to the development of leadership skills, such as leading transitions, stakeholder management and communication. To ensure that these skills will have a broad base, RSM will be collaborating with Delft University of Technology and the other faculties of EUR.
Today’s leaders still have several years of being able to share their expertise before passing the baton to the next generation. We want to feed these young people with knowledge about science, public administration and business as quickly as possible. While, at the same time, also learning from their opinions and ideas.
For FinCo Fuel, this offers a unique opportunity to share our own knowledge and experience as well as to gain new knowledge and experience. What’s more, it is a great way to keep in touch with precisely that young generation of talented transition experts, who can strengthen our sustainable organisation and take it forth into the (near) future. In addition to the above-mentioned comprehensive training programme, one of the other ambitions is to set up a community where knowledge can be exchanged and different generations can meet each other. We can’t wait.
In the next few years, we must do everything in our power to reduce CO2 emissions worldwide. We want to be a symbol for the transition that alle energy companies must go through. The course has changed and our sustainable product portfolio is transforming rapidly. We have the people, the resources and the innovate power to make a difference and contribute to a more sustainable world. But we can’t do this alone.
At FinCo Fuel Group, we always challenge ourselves to provide the most sufficient sustainable solutions. After all, we want to service our customers during their CO2 journey to decarbonisation. At the same time, we also look for ways to improve internally. What can we do to contribute to a better, more sustainable world?
A fuel and CO2 saving of 14% - which ship charterer doesn't want that? Peterson Energy Logistics and Gulf Bunkering, both established in Den Helder, entered into a lucrative partnership. The results exceed all expectations.
At FinCo Fuel, we are always looking for better. Better raw materials, better conversion technologies that result in fuels with even greater CO2 savings. That is an ongoing quest, in which we gather knowledge and experience with various advanced products that can be blended. For example, we recently carried out a test in our FinCo Fuel distribution system on the blending of a new bio-product: bio-methanol.
