CO₂ Marine Shipping Market Consultation organised by Fluxys

Fluxys strives to develop the most efficient CO₂ transmission solutions for North-West Europe. Doing so requires the timely alignment of an end-to-end logistic chain from the CO₂ emissions capture sites towards the safe and permanent storage into sequestration fields.

The essential transmission infrastructure shall be designed in adequacy with the upstream and downstream needs. Today, many sequestration options are under development by multiple parties. At the same time, many CO₂ capture projects reach an advanced maturity level. This is thus the right time to connect the dots and tailor the connecting infrastructure to the market needs.

To reach CO₂ storage fields, two options are under development: pipeline transport & marine transport. Fluxys is developing the open-access CO₂ onshore gathering systems and export hubs to serve ship-based and pipeline-based export solutions.

As from the start, Fluxys has been interacting with all the actors of the value chain to facilitate its success. Today, to proceed with the further development of the CO₂ marine terminals, Fluxys is inviting you to answer a market consultation, sharing the relevant information to:

1. ensure the technical compatibility of your CO₂ carrier vessels with the Fluxys' terminals,
2. enable the commercialization of a full value chain including your service offering and
3. develop efficient CCS solutions.

Participate in the market consultation

In parallel to this market consultation, Fluxys will conduct interviews with the participants to clarify and detail further specific commercial and technical aspects, allowing to proceed with the organization of an open season process during which terminaling capacities will be sold. Maturity, evaluated based on both technical and commercial aspects, will be a preliminary requirement to participate in the open season. 

One does not need to participate in the proposed market consultation to be able to participate in the upcoming open season. Yet, if you don’t participate, the final design of the terminaling facilities may drastically differ from your needs or specifications and could lead to the non-compatibility/competitivity of your CO₂ sequestration offering/CO₂ vessel specifications with the terminal solutions. Fluxys therefore believes that this consultation step is key to maximize the chances to conclude agreements together and ensure alignment through the CO₂ value chain.

Let’s grab this opportunity to develop the nascent CO₂ value chain together, enabling competitive and reliable CCUS solutions for the NW-EU industry.
