Sweco studies 70 km of hydrogen pipelines in Flemish ports for Fluxys Belgium

Engineering and architectural firm Sweco, commissioned by the infrastructure company Fluxys Belgium, is working on a feasibility study and preliminary research of several hydrogen routes in Ghent and Antwerp. We are also responsible for the design, EIA project and safety coordination.

Fluxys Belgim is ready to develop the necessary hydrogen and CO2 infrastructure for the decarbonisation of the Belgian and Northwest European economy. Together with the industry, various partners and neighbouring operators, the infrastructure company is in full preparation for terminal projects and the construction and conversion of pipelines in and between industrial zones in Belgium and to neighbouring countries.

The aim is to have the first hydrogen and/or CO2 grid connections ready for the industry by 2026. In that context, Sweco was awarded the contract by Fluxys Belgium for the complete study of about 70 km of hydrogen pipelines in the ports of Ghent and Antwerp. In the process, we are putting the knowledge and expertise available in our country – and promoted by the Flemish Hydrogen Vision – on the map.
