On Wednesday 14 March 2018 nominations at Passo Gries for the first time ever resulted in physical net imports of gas from Italy into Switzerland (physical deliveries in the same direction have continued unabated until Monday 19 March 2018), highlighting the strategic importance of the Reverse Flow project.
Swedegas is investing in a LNG bunkering facility in the Port of Gothenburg (Sweden). It will be the first LNG facility in the largest port of Scandinavia. Fluxys LNG will facilitate the delivery of LNG with the construction of a second truck loading station in Zeebrugge.
From Tuesday 25 August, we are enhancing the information we provide on our website and the ENTSOG Transparency Platform.
In Antwerp, Fluxys is taking a major step forward in developing an open-access hydrogen network. Chemicals company INEOS Olefins Belgium is the first industrial player to take part in the feasibility study on the development and construction of the network.
- At an event organised by the Gas for Climate consortium in Brussels, European Commissioner for Climate & Energy, Miguel Arias Cañete highlighted that gas and existing gas infrastructure will play an important role in the future EU energy system
- Action Plan Gas for Climate presents measures for large scale up of renewable gas in the EU
- The Action Plan follows a study by Ecofys, a Navigant company, which shows the potential to significantly scale up renewable gas in Europe and that using this gas reduces the societal cost to fully decarbonise the EU energy system
Antwerp@C, an initiative of Air Liquide, BASF, Borealis, ExxonMobil, INEOS, TotalEnergies, Fluxys and the Port of Antwerp has the ambition to support industries’ efforts towards a 50% CO2 emissions’ reduction within the Port of Antwerp, Belgium, by 2030 through the creation of a common CO2 infrastructure. With the start of engineering studies, the project has now reached a new milestone to achieve more sustainable, lower-carbon operations around the Port of Antwerp.
Het Reverse Flow Project vordert zoals gepland. Marktspelers kunnen vanaf nu capaciteit boeken bij FluxSwiss om vanaf 1 juni 2018 gas van Italië naar Frankrijk te vervoeren.
Holcim Group is taking concrete steps to implement its firm commitment to reducing its carbon impact, fully in line with the ambitions of the regions where it operates. In Belgium, the ecological and climate goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by the end of the decade under the Go4Zero programme. One of the pillars in achieving this objective rests on the sequestration and (re)use of CO2.
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.
The European Hydrogen Backbone initiative publishes five potential hydrogen supply corridors to meet Europe’s accelerated 2030 hydrogen goals.
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.
Today, the Gas for Climate consortium publishes its hydrogen legislation paper. This paper groups together the vision of 11 Gas Transmission System Operators (TSOs) on how EU legislation can help to create a dedicated hydrogen pipeline infrastructure across Europe.
Twelve European gas TSOs from eleven European countries have joined the EHB initiative
EHB group presents a vision for a 39,700km hydrogen pipeline infrastructure in 21 countries
Two-thirds of the network is based on repurposed natural gas pipelines
Lower investment cost per kilometre of pipeline compared to previous estimate
The Zeebrugge LNG terminal again widens its destination flexibility. This week we saw the first customer load an LNG container at the facility for rail transport. This lowers emissions and widens destination flexibility.
Friday 8 July, the terminal for liquified natural gas (LNG) in Dunkirk has received its first LNG tanker, thereby launching the industrial start-up of the facility.
Fluxys as partner in the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) is pleased to announce that the pipeline started commercial operations: an additional energy route into Europe has now opened after 4 and a half years of construction.
