Information Memorandum for CO2 infrastructure

Fluxys Belgium is a fully independent and neutral gas infrastructure company headquartered in Belgium. In this regard, the Belgian federal energy regulator has certified Fluxys Belgium as a transmission system operator of the natural gas transmission grid, the storage infrastructure and the LNG terminal infrastructure of Zeebrugge, in accordance with the full ownership unbundling model as per the European third package of legislative measures for the gas market. Fluxys is committed to bring the energy transition forward. The Fluxys assets are an essential complement to electricity infrastructure and serve as a cornerstone for secure, sustainable and affordable energy systems.

Fluxys, as neutral operator, is ready to build the open access gas network of the future.
Fluxys’ plan is to progressively reconfigure parts of the natural gas network and build new
infrastructure in Belgium to develop complementary systems:

  • for transporting methane (in which biomethane and synthetic methane will
    increasingly replace natural gas),
  • for transporting hydrogen (H2),
  • for transporting carbon (CO2),
  • for transporting possibly also other molecules needed for the energy transition
    The carbon infrastructure will be created by a combination of repurposing and building new
    infrastructure and will be offered as market demand evolves. As Fluxys makes
    complementary systems accommodate captured carbon, it unlocks new solutions for the industry in its efforts to achieve sustainable recovery and growth.
