About Fluxys Belgium
Who we are
Fluxys Belgium is a Euronext-listed subsidiary of infrastructure group Fluxys headquartered in Belgium. With 982 employees, we operate 4,000 kilometres of pipeline, a liquefied natural gas terminal with an annual regasification capacity of 197 TWh and an underground storage facility.
As a key infrastructure partner, we are working to realise an efficient, reliable and realistic energy system, with green and low-carbon molecules and with CO₂ capture as a supporting and additional solution. An energy system open to the necessary import and export flows of those molecules to and from other areas. All for an energy system that strives for carbon neutrality and provides security of supply at the lowest possible cost.
Thanks to our infrastructure, we are building a bridge to the future. We currently transport natural gas which, as a low-emission fossil energy source, offers security of supply in the transition to a carbon-neutral society.
Where the market is ready to make the green transition, Fluxys is also ready to go. Ready for the transition to a hybrid energy future in which carbon-neutral molecules, renewable electricity and the capture and reuse or storage of CO₂ complement each other optimally.
Towards multi-molecule infrastructure
Driven by our first-mover approach, we have developed our infrastructure into the key crossroads for international gas flows in Northwest Europe. Customers can use our system either for supplying gas into Belgium or move it to any adjacent market for onward delivery throughout Northwest Europe.
Our commitment to the climate targets forms an integral part of our business strategy with a focus on our key role as an infrastructure company in speeding up the energy transition. Our approach to molecule transmission for a carbon-neutral future is fully in line with the European Commission’s decarbonisation package and hydrogen strategy, the Belgian federal government’s hydrogen strategy, and the climate approach of Belgium’s regions.
Given the developments in the legal and regulatory framework, and in line with industrial demand, we are thoroughly preparing to convert our network into a multi-molecule system which we will use to transport not only natural gas and biomethane but also hydrogen and other carbon-neutral molecules and CO2. This will enable us to offer industry powerful tools for reducing large-scale CO2 emissions and thus sustainably safeguarding economic activity and employment.
Focus on safety
About half of our 900 staff is located at the company’s headquarters in Brussels. The other half work in our regional operating sites, the Zeebrugge LNG terminal, the Loenhout storage facility and our compressor stations. As we are responsible for handling an energy that entails risks, safety is our number one priority. More than half of our staff focus on constructing safe facilities and their safe operation.
Ethics & compliance
Fluxys operates in a diverse and complex global environment, which exposes us to various safety, security, health, environmental, and ethical risks. Given these challenges, our clients and society have high expectations of our services and conduct. Every day, we rely on our core values to guide our actions and interactions with stakeholders. This collective approach helps us achieve our ambition of being a driver for the energy transition.
