Flemish hydrogen ports valley

Port of Antwerp-Bruges, North Sea Port and Port Oostende are a “hydrogen valley” - a geographical area hosting an entire hydrogen value chain – from production to distribution, storage and local end-use in several sectors.

The three ports are located side by side on a small surface area, and are complementary in their activities - combining steel and chemical industrial clusters with expertise on offshore wind and energy import hub functions.

Already today, the region houses several hydrogen projects, including the production of green hydrogen (HyOffwind , Terranova Hydrogen), and green molecules for off-take in chemical industry (Power to Methanol, North-C-methanol, H2Be) steelmaking (DRI Steel production), shipping (H2TugBoat, ISHY Dual fuel ship, HydroTug,), and transport (Hytrucks, a multipurpose Hydrogen bunkering station). In the future international import will be combined with local production of green hydrogen to supply clean hydrogen to off-takers both locally as well as in the hinterland of Belgium and beyond, through the European Hydrogen Backbone.

By joining forces in a hydrogen valley, the ports aim to strengthen their collaboration on hydrogen. The initiative is coordinated by WaterstofNet, through the “Waterstof Industrie Cluster” of which all three ports are a member.

More information about the Flemish Hydrogen Ports Valley can be found on the hydrogen valley platform of the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and Mission Innovation. This online map indicates the location and main characteristics of hydrogen valleys across Europe and the world.
