Getting around in Brussels
It is easy to get around the Capital City of Europe. There is a well-developed public transport system. The city
centre itself is compact so there are good walking trails to take when you are touring the city’s main
attractions. To get around between major destinations you can use the public transport, taxis or trains. It is
important to remember that Brussels is a bilingual city; all signage is written in French and Flemish. Please
ask the reception of the NH Grand Place Arenberg hotel for a map of the city.
Public Transportation
The public transport system is made up of the metro (underground trains), buses and trams that cross the
city. All of these services are operated by the same company STIB and therefore share the same ticketing
system. This makes it easy to make transfers and to purchase tickets. Tickets can be bought from a large
number of outlets including newsagents and some supermarkets, and are valid on all three services. It is
cheaper to buy tickets from other outlets rather than from the driver. There is an automated service, Go,
which can be found in every metro station. Ticket outlets, Kiosk and Bootik are found in some stations
and offer season tickets, weekly tickets and travel passes. Please ask the reception of the NH Grand Place
Arenberg hotel for the closest selling point.
Brussels Taxi
All taxis need to be taken from marked taxi stands in the city or you can wave them from the street if you
are more than 100 metres from a taxi stand.
Telephone numbers for taxi companies (24 hours/24 hours - language: English, French, Flamish):
Autolux +32(0)2 411 41 42
Taxi Vert +32(0)2 349 49 49
Taxi Bleu + 32(0)2 268 00 00
Whether
It is a fact that Brussels rains a lot, but not monsoon-style rain, it is typically a light ‘spit’ most afternoons and
evenings. A good fold-up umbrella in your travel bag during spring is enough to protect you.
Food
There is all kind of international restaurants in Brussels.
The NH Grand Place Arenberg is close to the Brussels’s historic heart, the Grand Place where there are Cafe’s
and Brasserie with Brussels-style cuisine and a large choice of menu (around Galerie de la Reine, Rue de
Boucher, Galerie du Roi, Rue d’Arenberg).
The NH Brussels City Centre is conveniently located right next to the prestigious Avenue Louise shopping
street in the heart of the uptown center of Brussels, with many restaurants and bars nearby.

Annex I: Site visit to the Port of Rotterdam
The Rotterdam Energy port
Oil and coal form the basis for an unparalleled cluster. But plenty of attention is also paid to new sources of
energy - LNG and biomass – in the port. As Port of Rotterdam Authority, we aspire to provide even more
opportunities for businesses. In this connection, we are creating plenty of extra space and facilities. At the same
time, we are taking the lead when it comes to reducing CO2 emissions.
Superior oil and coal cluster
For decades now, Rotterdam has been the European hub for incoming and outgoing trade in crude oil, oil
products and coal. Even the very largest tankers and bulk carriers can sail in and out of the port unhindered 24
hours a day. Specialized terminals guarantee the efficient transfer of cargo. Onward transport across the
European market is clean and safe, via pipeline, inland shipping and rail.
Energy conversion
Five ultramodern refineries in the port convert crude oil into a wide range of fuels. Rotterdam is also an
important supplier of electricity. The power plants located in the port – based on coal, natural gas, total
energy, wind and waste incineration – have a combined capacity of 3000 megawatt. New initiatives for plants
fuelled by coal/biomass (2x) and natural gas (3x) will more than double the capacity in the short term.
Centre for trade and distribution
There are more than 20 independent tank storage companies in the port. In total, they provide almost million
m³ of tank storage capacity. Thanks partly to this, Rotterdam is a prominent trade and distribution centre for
bunker oil in particular.
Plenty of space for energy-intensive industry
The wide availability of fuels and electricity is an important precondition for energy-intensive industry. The
port is home to a sizeable industrial cluster, which focuses on chemicals. Suppliers of industrial gases, etc. also
form part of this cluster.
New energy
European demand for natural gas is increasing fast. Imports and exports come together in the Netherlands.
Rotterdam’s port business community is even among the bulk consumers. In response to these developments,
the first LNG terminal (LNG = Liquid Natural Gas) will be opening in Rotterdam in 2011. In addition to
natural gas, we want to attract other new, clean sources of energy to the port. Biomass is the main exponent
here. Recently, Europe made it obligatory for petrol and diesel products to be mixed with biofuels such as
bioethanol and biodiesel. Other forms of biomass (wood chippings and the like) are an attractive
supplementary fuel for coal-fired power plants. A substantial number of companies in the port are already
investing in transshipment and production capacity for biofuels. This often takes the form of co-siting, linking
up with existing cargo terminals.
Sustainable development comes first
The future belongs only to a clean, sustainable port. As Port of Rotterdam Authority, we are leading the way

when it comes to developing initiatives to enable companies to operate as energy-efficiently as possible, to
make fossil energy ‘cleaner’, to tap into new sources of energy and drastically limit emissions of CO2. We are
involved intensively with research and pilots for the underground storage of CO2. Rotterdam is hoping for a
50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2025.
Your business partner
We want to be an attractive business partner for companies operating in Rotterdam Energy Port. As Port
Authority, we can offer a wealth of specialised knowledge and an extensive network. Our ambition is to
strengthen the energy cluster in the port even further. We are doing this by creating an attractive business
climate, with an emphasis on low costs, security of facilities, sustainability and modernisation. One of our
main trump cards is Maasvlakte 2. The first sites on this 1000 hectare port expansion in the North Sea will
become operational between 2012 and 2014. Clients of the energy port to will have plenty of room for
sustainable growth here.
The Rotterdam Storage and Capture Demonstration Project (ROAD)
The ROAD project will receive a contribution from the State of a maximum € 150 million for the period
2010-2020, for the investment phase and the demonstration phase of the project. This subsidy is in addition to
the European contribution of a maximum € 180 million for the investment phase of the project from the
European Economic Recovery Programme.
First large-scale CCS demonstration project in Europe
ROAD is an initiative of energy companies E.ON and Electrabel Group GDF SUEZ. It is the first large-scale
CCS demonstration project in the Netherlands to focus on developing and realizing the capture, transport and
storage of CO2 at sea. CO2 will be captured at the E.ON coal-fired power plant , which is currently under
construction, on the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam. The CO2 will be transported, by pipeline, to the P18-A
Platform, some 20 kilometres off the coast. During the demonstration phase, it is expected that at least 4
megatons of CO2 will be stored.
Building up knowledge and experience
The costs of capturing and storing CO2 (CCS) are currently still too high for this to be profitable.
Developments in technology and increases in scale should bring down the costs. Storage projects make a
direct contribution to reducing CO2 emissions. CCS is an important link in the transition towards sustainable
energy management. Furthermore, the accelerated introduction of CCS in our country has the advantage that
Dutch suppliers of technology and know-how can build up a lead in terms of knowledge and experience.
According to expectations, CCS will develop into a cost-effective CO2-reducing measure which trade and
industry will be able to apply without government support from 2020. The ROAD project will help to create
the foundation for further, industry-wide application.
