FLHyPorts kick-off: connecting Flemish ports into Belgium’s first hydrogen valley

The FLHyPorts project (Flanders Hydrogen Ports Valley) has officially been launched, marking a major milestone in the development of Belgium’s first Hydrogen Valley. Coordinated by WaterstofNet, the initiative connects hydrogen production, distribution, and end-use applications across the Flemish port ecosystems of Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Port of Ostend, and North Sea Port, creating an integrated and scalable renewable hydrogen value chain. At the heart of the project is the Hyoffwind facility, a 25 MW renewable hydrogen electrolysis plant currently under construction, which will supply RFNBO-compliant green hydrogen for industrial and mobility applications. FLHyPorts will demonstrate how hydrogen can decarbonise logistics, port operations, inland shipping, industry, and transport, while supporting energy system flexibility. Backed by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and Horizon Europe, FLHyPorts positions Flanders as a leading hydrogen hub and a model for integrated hydrogen ecosystems in Europe.
