Fluxys Hydrogen, the operator of Belgium's hydrogen network, has initiated the first phase of work on expanding the hydrogen pipeline network in the country. The project is set to be completed by 2026 and will be gradually expanded to form a part of the European Hydrogen Backbone. The pipeline aims to interconnect key ports like Antwerp, Ghent, Kallo, and Zelzate, playing a crucial role in the decarbonisation of industries in Belgium. Fluxys Hydrogen, a subsidiary of Fluxys, has been appointed as the operator responsible for the development and management of this open-access hydrogen transport network. By 2030, the company targets a yearly hydrogen transmission capacity of 30 TWh. The initiative is seen as a significant step towards achieving a climate-neutral economy. According to Fluxys Hydrogen, hydrogen is often the preferred option for companies seeking to balance supply security, climate impact, and cost efficiency, emphasizing its importance in the energy transition towards sustainability.
