Hydrogen in Belgium | Embracing Belgium
Hydrogen is a clean, powerful, natural, renewable and environmentally-friendly gas that is all around us. Is hydrogen THE solution for a low-carbon society? Is hydrogen the energy source of
In developing these import routes, Belgium is positioning itself as an import and transit hub for renewable molecules. As to storage, considering the limited potential to store H2, Belgium will work towards a European approach for hydrogen storage. To support national companies and institutes, the strategy envisages several federal instruments:
The updated Belgian hydrogen strategy is developed in the context of achieving full decarbonisation with only renewable energy in the energy mix by 2050. The focus is on energy efficiency and electrification.
As to storage, considering the limited potential to store H2, Belgium will work towards a European approach for hydrogen storage. To support national companies and institutes, the strategy envisages several federal instruments: Additionally, the government will develop VKHyLab, which will be a test infrastructure facility to be operational by 2025.
32 The Belgian hydrogen market already amounts 15 TWh/ year of almost exclusively fossil hydrogen. The demand for sustainable hydrogen and derivatives will scale up in the next years, stimulated by EU targets and legisla-tion like RepowerEU, the Renewable Energy Directive, the Fuel EU Maritime Law and ReFuelEU for aviation.

Just as Fluxys pioneered in the storage of natural gas in the 1980s, we are now putting our expertise and innovative power to work exploring the underground storage of hydrogen. The Loenhout site has
Green Hydrogen Vision Belgium envisions becoming a European leader in green hydrogen by leveraging its strategic position as an import and transit hub. The country aims to integrate
For years now, Belgium has been proving itself to be a bona fide green hydrogen hub, with all kinds of initiatives flourishing. Various EU initiatives have allowed the country to become a key
BeHydro specializes in developing innovative hydrogen engines and storage solutions for marine, railway, and power applications. Their commitment to reducing the CO2 footprint is evident in their
Storage plays an important role in energy security, as green hydrogen will have to be imported from locations with cheap renewable energy. BE-HyStore will identify and alleviate potential
For storage, hydrogen and its derivates provide an opportunity to store large quantities of energy for a medium to long-term period, but the optimum between different technologies is left to
The strategy envisages the exclusive use of renewables-based hydrogen in Belgium''s energy mix by 2050; as a transitional measure, however, the strategy indicates that ''low-carbon'' hydrogen has a
Belgium has a lot to offer when it comes to hydrogen, despite its territory of only 30.528 km2. It has an extensive hydrogen and ammonia ecosystem, building on its ports, pipelines, import
landscape of the future and will be indispensable in our energy system. Import of hydrogen based renewable molecules will enable long term energy storage, system efficiency and affordable &
