Powering progress

Renewable fuel and energy markets don't scale through ambition alone. They scale through reliable supply. That's why Connex designs, builds and operates renewable feedstock supply chains. We absorb operational complexity, bring structure and control to fragmented markets, and create the reliable systems that help energize the future.

Three decades of expertise

With decades of experience across renewable feedstocks, trading and operations, Bram van Santen, Ralph Brands and Fabian Leeman recognised that renewable markets needed more than transactions. They needed structure.

That’s why Connex was built. Today, we design, build and operate renewable feedstock supply chains that turn fragmented markets into reliable, controlled systems.

40+ years of combined renewable fuels experience

Founded by Bram van Santen, Ralph Brands, and Fabian Leeman, Connex combines deep expertise across renewable feedstocks, operations, logistics, and market development. Together, they recognised the structural gap between fragmented feedstock supply and scalable renewable fuel production — and built Connex to solve it. It’s their joint vision to create a future energized by renewable fuels, where sustainable alternatives play a leading role in the energy market.

What drives Connex

Ownership

We take structural ownership of renewable feedstock supply chains. By designing and operating end-to-end systems, we create long-term reliability, accountability, and control in fragmented markets.

Impact

We enable decarbonisation by making renewable feedstock supply structurally reliable. Reliable systems help renewable alternatives scale and support lower-carbon fuel and energy markets.

Innovation

We continuously improve how renewable feedstock markets are structured and controlled. Through expertise, data, and system development, we create smarter ways to connect supply and demand.
