XRG Technologies Expands its Global Footprint in the Netherlands

The U.S.-based company joins Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam, bolstering Dutch decarbonization efforts

Oklahoma-based XRG Technologies, a leader in innovative heat transfer solutions, chose to open its first European office in the Netherlands at the Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam (ETCA). The move makes XRG the 32nd member of this collaborative hub, while reinforcing the Netherlands’ position as an epicenter for sustainable energy innovation.

Founded in 2017, XRG Technologies is an engineering and procurement firm specializing in designing and upgrading industrial heating equipment, such as fired heaters and boilers, for the refining, petrochemical and power sectors. These systems are among the most energy-intensive components in industrial operations. By optimizing their performance, XRG helps industrial facilities significantly reduce CO₂ emissions and improve energy efficiency without requiring full equipment replacement.

“We are excited to establish a stronger presence in Europe and collaborate with industry leaders at ETCA,” said Erwin Platvoet, Founder of XRG Technologies. “Our technologies not only improve the efficiency of existing fired and unfired equipment but support the transition to low-carbon solutions, including hydrogen production, biomass gasification, plastics recycling, and carbon capture.”

A strategic fit to accelerate the energy transition

XRG Technologies’ solutions align with the Netherlands’ ambitious climate goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 49% by 2030 and achieve nearly 100% sustainable energy by 2050. Engineering, procurement and construction firms like XRG play a vital role in this mission, particularly in helping conventional energy companies in the Netherlands, like Shell, decarbonize their operations.

The Netherlands is considered Europe’s first true hydrogen hub, with €500 million in government investment aimed at stimulating a €1.25 billion hydrogen cluster. XRG’s expertise in innovative combustion and heat transfer solutions is highly relevant to this cluster, where industrial heating processes are being reimagined to support green hydrogen production and other low-carbon technologies.

Joining a collaborative hub to fuel energy efficiencies

The ETCA, originally established by Shell, is a vibrant, open campus where start-ups, mature companies and research institutions collaborate to solve the world’s biggest energy challenges. ETCA offers conducive office space and laboratories that provide opportunities to translate deep thinking and research into commercial viability and real societal impact.

XRG’s membership in this community will enable it to contribute to and benefit from sharing expertise in new equipment designs, fuel conversions and emission reductions. As a result, XRG’s expansion supports the Netherlands’ broader focus on driving sustainability in key sectors such as energy, high-tech systems and chemicals.

Expanding clean energy solutions to the world

XRG Technologies has demonstrated measurable environmental benefits. The company estimates that its solutions have saved over 200,000 tons of CO₂ emissions. By bringing this impact to Europe, the Middle East and Africa, XRG contributes not only to Dutch climate goals but also to the broader global decarbonization agenda.

As the Netherlands continues to shape the future of energy through smart grid modernization, hydrogen infrastructure and collaborative innovation, XRG Technologies exemplifies how strategic foreign investment can accelerate the energy transition while strengthening industrial competitiveness.
