Hydrogen transmission
Hydrogen infrastructure for Belgium
Action speaks louder than words. In our core business of gas infrastructure, we are pressing ahead to reconfigure our assets in Belgium to help achieve climate neutrality in 2050.
Based on our experience with natural gas, we are joining forces with industry and our other stakeholders to develop as from 2025 our infrastructure into 3 complementary systems for transporting:
- methane (in which carbon-neutral biomethane and synthetic methane increasingly will replace quantities of natural gas),
- hydrogen and
- carbon
As we make the gas system accommodate carbon-neutral energy carriers and the circular use of captured carbon, we unlock new solutions for the industry in its efforts to achieve sustainable recovery and growth.
Hydrogen and CO2 demand and supply levels in specific clusters need to be matched. Via mutual exchanges between different interested parties (suppliers and offtakers) several promising infrastructure proposals are launched.
Hydrogen infrastructure proposals
Following the Request For Information and the Matchmaking phase, the market shows a mature need for an open access H2 infrastructure in different areas.
Please also still feel free to complete the Request For Information if you wouldn’t have done so far or if your internal process is still ongoing.
We will be integrating your responses on a rolling basis as they continue to come in and keep finetuning our infrastructure mapping.
Your contribution is essential: we are currently conducting a market consultation to shape the hydrogen infrastructure in Belgium.
