(b) Market-based emissions.
(c) i.e. excluding categories 3.1 Purchases of goods and services, and 3.2 Capital goods; that are directly linked to the development of our infrastructure.
(d) By industrial incident having a major impact on safety, we refer to explosions, fires, uncontrolled gas venting, pollution, etc. that have serious consequences for the safety (life-threatening injuries or injuries resulting in permanent disability/death) of employees and local residents.
(e) Scope: Fluxys Belgium (transmission) and Fluxys LNG.
(f) Total length above 10 km and diameter of 600 mm or more.
(g) Planting already occured in 2023 for the full Desteldonk-Opwijk pipeline, incl. the section between Opwijk (Hollestraat) station – Dendermonde (Oudegem Paalstraat) station of ~16km that was put in service early 2024.
How we are preserving biodiversity
We take great care to ensure the preservation of biodiversity in those areas where we build and operate infrastructure.
How we are reducing our own climate impact
We are working hard to help accelerate the transition to a climate-neutral society with our infrastructure. We are working just as hard on the climate impact of our own activities.
