LNG Regasification

Your LNG stored in the tanks at Zeebrugge and Dunkirk can be injected into the natural gas grid thanks to regasification.

• Dunkirk has a regasification capacity of 520 GWh/day (more information)
  

• Zeebrugge has a regasification capacity of 472 GWh/day. Several types of send-out are available depending on your needs or activities in Zeebrugge :

Basic send-out

Ideal for regasifying 140,000 m³ of unloaded LNG. This service is included in our unloading slots. LNG is regasified at a rate of 4.2 GWh/h for 40 consecutive tides (10.3 days).

Downstream, transmission capacities must be booked from Fluxys Belgium to transport this natural gas to the following market areas :

• ZTP (Belgium)
• TRF (France)
• TTF (The Netherlands)
• NBP (United Kingdom)
• NCG (Germany)
  
  

Additional send-out

Ideal for regasifying large quantities of LNG in the long term (multiyear) in addition to the basic send-out.

Please note that all this send-out capacity is already sold up to October 2023. However, you can reserve capacity through the secondary market by contacting terminal users with long-term contracts.

Daily send-out – non nominated

Long-term and unused send-out capacity is sold on a daily basis.

These capacities are automatically distributed if necessary, subject to availability.

Good to know

Reduction of calorific density
Some pipelines (e.g. in the UK) require a lower natural gas calorific density than others.

At Zeebrugge, nitrogen can be added to your LNG post-regasification to reduce the calorific value of the gas.
