Bill Gates, a prominent climate advocate, has been active for years on various fronts to address climate change and supports many initiatives with his foundation.

Fluxys as infrastructure partner shares with Bill Gates the conviction that the solution to global warming requires an integrated energy system vision, incorporating diverse approaches to tackle global warming effectively.

1. We will need and electrons and molecules and Carbon Capture and Storage/Utilisation (CCUS). Diversification and investment in transport infrastructure will be key to avoid the chicken and egg problem.
2. Financial risk mitigation regulatory clarity and certainty are needed to speed up infrastructure development and make it economically viable, both for CCUS and hydrogen.

The determination and commitment showcased by industry leaders and governments are essential to accelerate the energy transition. This acceleration is both challenging and full of opportunities. In the years to come, Fluxys will build hydrogen and CO₂ transport infrastructure essential to accelerate the energy transition.
