Fluxys is continuing its work to build the hydrogen economy – and now it's being joined by Plug Power for the open-access hydrogen network in the port of Antwerp.
First LNG project in Germany invites customers to Binding Open Season. Registration at sales@hanseatic-energy-hub.de
Fluxys strengthens HEH team with additional operational know-how for construction and operations
Central regulatory course set: BNetzA reduces feed-in tariffs at LNG terminals in Germany by 40 percent
Fluxys Belgium and GasLINE have signed an infrastructure cooperation agreement with a view to facilitate fibre-optic network expansion in Western Europe. Both companies have large networks in their respective countries in Belgium and Germany. Frankfurt am Main as a telecommunications hub with international relevance is an important destination for Fluxys Belgium’s dark fibre customers, and GasLINE is expanding its marketable fibre-optic infrastructure specifically into neighbouring countries.
- 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
- Highly efficient, environmentally friendly operation thanks to industrial waste heat from Dow
- Expansion of the port planned by probably the end of 2023
- Land-based terminal as building block for climate change from 2026 onwards
Today, the Gas for Climate consortium published an Action Plan to rapidly implement the targets set out in the European Commission’s REPowerEU communication. The paper presents immediate actions aimed at accelerated scale-up and integration of renewable gases in Europe. If implemented in full, these actions could positively impact Europe’s security of supply, speed up the implementation of climate goals and alleviate part of the energy cost pressure from households and companies.
Today the North West European Transmission System Operators have published their Gas Regional Investment Plan 2017 (North West Gas Regional Investment Plan – NW GRIP 2017). Besides the update of all elements related to infrastructure development in the Region, the NW GRIP 2017 focuses on the way gas infrastructure can contribute to a sustainable energy transition and on the conversion of L-gas to H-gas in Belgium, France and Germany.
Fluxys, Air Liquide, BASF, Borealis, INEOS, ExxonMobil, Port of Antwerp and Total have signed a collaboration agreement as a first move towards the possible development of Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage (CCUS) infrastructure.
The Gas for Climate consortium advocates in its new policy paper that by 2030, 11% of all gas consumed in the EU should be renewable gas.
Electricity and gas grid operators recognised as ambassadors for sustainable development - SDG Voice 2021
A hydrogen strategy is currently becoming an increasingly central topic in Swiss energy policy.
Greater security of supply for Germany and North-West Europe and increased flexibility in cross-border gas transmission.
ENGIE, Fluxys, Indaver, INOVYN, Oiltanking, Port of Antwerp and the Flemish Environmental Holding Company have established a consortium for the sustainable production of methanol, an essential raw material used by industry in the Port.
Fluxys wants to have its greenhouse gas emissions cut by 50% on 2017 levels by 2025. One of the means to achieve this goal is our teams in the field using mobile recompression units.
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
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.
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.
The new Gas for Climate report provides an unique overview on the latest developments in renewable and low-carbon gases: industry is ready for scale-up.
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.
