Brussels, 5 February 2019 – Fluxys and Titan LNG have joined forces to build the FlexFueler 002, a bunkering pontoon to make liquefied natural gas (LNG) more widely available as shipping fuel in the Antwerp port and region. The pontoon will be commissioned by the second half of 2020 and support the shipping industry in its switch to cleaner operations. Titan LNG will be the long-term operator of the pontoon.
Attracting over 150 participants, the second edition of the Fluxys Forum on 18 March 2019 was a great success. Topic of the day: the role of gas and gas infrastructure in a carbon-neutral future.
• Study published today finds that a smart combination of hydrogen and biomethane with electricity is the optimal way to decarbonise the energy system, with all energy ultimately becoming renewable.
• Using around 2900 TWh or approximately 270 billion cubic metres (natural gas equivalent) of green hydrogen and renewable methane through existing gas infrastructure across the EU saves society €217 billion annually by 2050 compared to an energy system using a minimal amount of gas.
• Substantial hydrogen, biomethane and power to methane production cost reductions are possible.
The Antwerp@C project aims to keep CO2 out of the atmosphere and so to make a significant contribution towards the climate objectives, thanks to applications for capturing and utilising or storing CO2, all within a relatively short time span and at reasonable costs. This week Fluxys, Port of Antwerp, Total and Air Liquide submitted EU subsidy applications for taking the project one step further.
Capturing CO2 then reusing it or storing it underground is one way to meet climate targets. Under the wings of Smart Delta Resources, a cross-border consortium of companies comprising Fluxys is taking the first step towards using this approach to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in North Sea Port, the Belgian-Dutch area covering the port of Ghent in Belgium and the ports of Terneuzen and Vlissingen in the Netherlands.
Outcome of the new Gas for Climate study Gas Decarbonisation Pathways 2020-2050: 10% binding target for renewable gas and future-proof gas infrastructure crucial to achieve cost efficient decarbonisation
Accelerated EHB network vision by 2030 in response to European Commission’s REPowerEU communication and call to greater action on climate protection and European energy system resilience. European Hydrogen Backbone (EHB) network grows by more than 110% since initial launch one and a half years ago – expanded members present vision for approximately 53,000 km hydrogen pipeline infrastructure in 28 European countries by 2040. The Backbone is expected to be made up of ~60%-40% repurposed natural gas versus new pipelines in 2040. Digital, interactive vision maps published as part of new EHB website later in April
Following previous proposals in other regions, Fluxys is today asking industrial stakeholders to express their interest in connecting to open access hydrogen infrastructure in Charleroi.
On Wednesday 4 October 2023, Fluxys took part in an event called "Decarbonisation, flexibility and energy transition in the Hainaut industry".
