Four horticultural companies in the Netherlands, 4Evergreen, VGT Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, Alvonto, and Van Duijn De Jong, have consolidated their energy activities as Energie Cluster Terneuzen, aiming to strengthen cooperation on energy supply within the 132-hectare greenhouse area near Westdorpe, Zeeland. This initiative emphasizes sustainability by utilizing residual heat and CO₂ from local industries, minimizing natural gas consumption.

The collaboration, ongoing since 2008, seeks to adapt to changing market conditions and invest in infrastructure to ensure a robust energy supply. The region is exploring alternative energy sources and optimizing existing resources to maintain a cost-effective and future-proof energy system.
