Antwerp@C is a project to halve CO2 emissions in the port of Antwerp by 2030 by building CO2 infrastructure with open access. The CO2 is captured and exported for offshore storage or made available for possible reuse.
Together with more than 30 other energy infrastructure companies, Fluxys is helping to build hydrogen corridors in Europe to accelerate the decarbonisation of the industry.
Fluxys and Equinor have agreed to develop a major infrastructure project for transporting captured CO2 from emitters to safe storage sites in the North Sea, connecting Belgium to Norway. The project is in the feasibility stage, with an investment decision expected by 2025.
The Information Memorandum sets forth certain information regarding the transportation and terminalling of CO₂ as the capture and reuse or storage of CO₂ can make a key contribution to achieving the decarbonisation targets. It goes hand in hand with infrastructure proposals based on the identified market interest.
In 2022 the EU Commission announced it would grant Fluxys Belgium, North Sea Port and ArcelorMittal Belgium €9,6 million under the Connecting Europe Facility for Energy (CEF-E) funding program. The funding was earmarked for the study of the Ghent Carbon Hub project, an open-access multi modal CO2 storage and liquefaction terminal in North Sea Port combined with a CO2 pipeline network connecting the Walloon region to the hub in Ghent.
The Information Memorandum includes information on the transport of hydrogen as a low-carbon energy carrier. It is linked to infrastructure proposals developed in response to market interest and the match between hydrogen supply and demand in specific areas, between these areas and even across national borders.
Solhyd and Fluxys are partnering to test the quality and composition of the produced hydrogen throughout the year. This will vary according to the seasons and time of day, as weather conditions change.
co₂ncreat is a circular project in Wallonia using CO2 to make sustainable concrete blocks for the construction industry. Fluxys uses its infrastructure to transport the CO2 between the emitter and the block producer.
In order to meet the challenge of the transition to a carbon-neutral society by 2050, we need to look beyond our own production of renewable energy generated domestically or offshore. The import of renewable energy plays an essential role in this respect. The study published today by the hydrogen import coalition concludes that this is both technically and economically feasible. We are now ready for concrete next steps, including pilot projects for the supply of sustainable energy by means of green molecules from countries where wind and solar are available in abundance to Belgian end users, among others.
FutureGrid is an ambitious programme which seeks to build a hydrogen test facility in Northern England
The CO₂ export terminal developed by Fluxys through its affiliate Dunkerque LNG is an essential link in making a significant contribution to the decarbonisation of the Dunkerque region and to France's climate objectives. A strong commitment by Dunkerque LNG and all the actors in the Dunkirk area to a collective, innovative and ambitious project to reduce CO₂ emissions, safeguard local industrial activity and jobs and boost local economic attractiveness.
In 2024, FluxSwiss, Fluxys TENP (both part of the Fluxys Group), Transitgas, OGE and Snam signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marking a significant step towards enhancing hydrogen infrastructure in Central Europe, particularly in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, and northwestern Italy.
In the Port of Antwerp, we collaborate with partners on various projects to lay pipelines that facilitate the energy transition for the existing industry and other economic activities.
Within the spirit of partnerships and cross-border cooperation for CO2 transport, Fluxys Belgium and Wintershall Dea signed a cooperation agreement. This agreement is one of the many steps to accelerate the green transition and to contribute towards a sustainable low carbon industry.
We are making our infrastructure fully ready to carry hydrogen and CO2, as part of our aim to be the essential partner for speeding up the energy transition. This mission is getting under way with the construction of the H2 Highway between Zeebrugge and Brussels. The pipeline is being laid in two phases: the first section between Desteldonk (near Ghent) and Opwijk (near Brussels) by the end of 2023 and the second connecting section between Zeebrugge and Desteldonk by 2026.
Fluxys and Advario have joined forces by signing a ‘Joint Development Agreement’ to embark on a significant initiative: the development of an ammonia (NH₃) terminal on the Advario Gas Terminal site in Antwerp. This strategic partnership aims to address the growing demand for import of sustainable energy carriers in Europe and accelerate the region's transition towards decarbonisation.
The Zeebrugge Multi-molecule Hub is a flagship project in Fluxys’ strategy to speed up the energy transition. The project envisions the Zeebrugge LNG terminal to reshape into a multi-directional and multi-molecule hub for large-scale decarbonisation. Serving as a crossroads of tomorrow’s molecule flows, the terminal is set to offer in one single ecosystem a comprehensive array of multi-molecule decarbonisation services for the Northwest European market.
Just as Fluxys pioneered in the storage of natural gas in the 1980s, we are now putting our expertise and innovative power to work exploring the underground storage of hydrogen. The Loenhout site has unique natural conditions that allow us to store large amounts of energy underground.
With the BE-HyStore pilot project, Fluxys once again proves its innovative edge in the world of storage.
Fluxys is working with Equinor on a subsea CO₂ pipeline linking Zeebrugge to storage sites in Norway's North Sea waters. The aim is to build an open-access pipeline capable of carrying 30 million tonnes of CO₂ per year before 2030. The project is in the feasibility stage, with an investment decision expected by 2025.
