Commenting on this new business, Mr. Nicolaas Paardenkooper, Chief Executive Officer of Brooge Energy, stated, “Global demand for clean energy sources has been strong and is expected to accelerate in the coming years. A decade ago, the Company undertook the initiative to become more environmentally friendly. As a result, Brooge Energy is at the forefront of the clean energy movement having already built one of the most environmentally friendly storage facility in the world, including being among the lowest waste producers in its industry from its terminal as well as being fully compliant with local and international guidelines in respect to emissions.
