Engie and Equinor now launched a feasibility study to assess the technical and economic suitability of a site in the Ghent area.
Moreover, discussions are ongoing with North Sea Port on integration with port infrastructure.
Engie and Equinor also joined forces on the project with Fluxys, the independent gas transmission system operator in Belgium.
We firmly believe that renewable and low-carbon hydrogen, with multiple uses and advantages, have everything to be the undeniable ally to accelerate the development of a solid infrastructure and the transition to a carbon-neutral economy,” Edouard Neviaski, CEO of the Engie’s Global Energy Management entity, stated.
“We are glad to pursue our work on this project with Equinor, a long-standing partner for more than 40 years.
“We are delighted to launch the H2BE project.
We will leverage this when moving this project forward with the goal of realization and contribution to the success of Belgium’s hydrogen economy,” Tveit concluded.
