On 23 October 2024, the first volumes of biomethane were injected directly into our transmission system. The molecules are produced by Green Logix Biogas in Lommel. During the initial phase, the plant produces a volume of biomethane equivalent to the consumption of some 7,000 households.

Until 2017, about half of Belgian households and SMEs used low-calorific gas from the Netherlands. With the depletion of the field in sight, the Netherlands decided to gradually reduce the export of low-calorific gas. Since 2018, Fluxys Belgium has been adapting its network to replace the supply of low-calorific gas with high-calorific natural gas from other sources. In 2024, we successfully completed the switch to high-calorific gas.

As in previous years, our teams once again made every effort to supply the Belgian network with natural gas. We also continued to transport large volumes to neighbouring countries, with Germany as the main destination. Our storage facility in Loenhout was already completely filled by 1 August, three months before the EU’s deadline. With Zeebrugge serving as a crossroads, our Belgian network continues to play its role as an energy hub in North-West Europe.

In 2024, we started measuring our progress towards the Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets we set in 2023, for each of our material ESG topics.

With our 2024 ESG results we are on track to achieve our targets.

With a view to developing cross-border hydrogen transmission infrastructure, Fluxys hydrogen is stepping up its cooperation with our partners Creos (Luxembourg) and GRTgaz (France) in the HY4 Link project. HY4 Link is an infrastructure project aiming to connect industrial clusters requiring hydrogen in France, Germany and Luxembourg to import hubs in Antwerp, Zeebrugge, Rotterdam and Dunkirk.

On 26 April 2024, the Federal Energy Minister appointed Fluxys hydrogen, a subsidiary of Fluxys Belgium, as the operator for the development and operation of the hydrogen network in Belgium. In line with the federal hydrogen strategy, Fluxys hydrogen is responsible for developing a hydrogen pipeline network which will form part of the European Hydrogen Backbone.

How can we design an affordable energy system and ensure that all solutions work together to achieve net zero CO₂ emissions? To answer this question, in 2024 we devised the North Sea Integration Model: a computational model that simulates all interactions between electricity, hydrogen, methane and CO₂ infrastructure in Belgium and all countries bordering the North Sea. The model shows how the entire chain can be optimised in terms of costs, CO₂ emissions and preservation of security of supply.

Capturing CO₂, then trans-porting it and finally using or storing it (CCUS): for some industrial players, there is no other way to make their operations carbon-neutral. During Princess Astrid’s royal mission to Oslo, several stakeholders, including Fluxys, signed a joint declaration to fully commit to CCUS. The declaration calls for work on decarbonisation including through an appropriate regulatory framework.

Fluxys is growing! In 2024, no fewer than 91 new colleagues joined our ranks, meaning that more than 950 employees are working at Fluxys Belgium. 103 colleagues were given the opportunity to take on new responsibilities and other roles; such internal mobility is particularly encouraged at Fluxys.

Given this sharp increase in demand for LNG truckloading, Fluxys decided to invest in the construction of 4 new automated loading bays at the Zeebrugge terminal. These were finished and tested during 2024 and will gradually be made available in 2025. Thanks to these 4 new bays, we can initially offer 14,000 loading operations. The goal is to eventually increase this to 20,000 loading operations.
