Hydrogen Paragraphs Title Overview Heading type H4 Text What is hydrogen? Essental role in the energy transition How do we build a hydrogen economy? Text alignment Right Background color Blue Media ID what-is-hydrogen Title What is hydrogen? Heading type H2 Text Hydrogen (H) is the simplest and most abundant element in our universe. It has one proton and one electron. In its pure form, it occurs as hydrogen gas (H 2 ) , also called hydrogen for short. At room temperature, it is a colourless and odourless gas that is non-toxic. Hydrogen is an important cornerstone in the energy and resource transition towards climate neutrality. Title How is hydrogen made? Heading type H3 Text Hydrogen gas (H 2 ) is barely to be found on earth, but hydrogen atoms are hidden in larger compounds with other elements. Extracting the  hydrogen from these molecules  requires a lot of energy. Depending on the energy source used for its production, we distinguish between  grey, blue and green hydrogen . Text alignment Left Background color Transparent Media Title Hydrogen icon Description Red icon of a waterdrop wit H2 in the middle of the waterdrop. ID bgg Text items Title Grey hydrogen Heading type H4 Text Grey hydrogen is made with fossil fuels . During production, CO₂ is released into the atmosphere. Title Blue hydrogen Heading type H4 Text Blue hydrogen is also produced with  fossil fuels , but the released CO₂ is captured and stored , so that it does not enter the atmosphere. The captured CO₂ is reused for other applications. This is an important step towards green hydrogen. Title Green hydrogen Heading type H4 Text Green hydrogen is made with electrolysis : you subject water to electricity so that it splits into hydrogen and oxygen gas. If you get that electricity from renewable energy sources , no CO₂ is released. Heading type H2 Text A great deal of energy is needed to separate hydrogen from larger molecules. This energy is released once more when the hydrogen gas reconnects with other atoms. This is what makes hydrogen is an  energy carrier . Despite of its energy intensive production, hydrogen has many advantages: it causes no emissions when burned and its production can be completely green.   Hydrogen has several applications and can be used: to  store surplus energy . as an  alternative energy source  in industry. as  fuel  in the transport sector. Hydrogen can be used in an internal combustion engine without emitting any pollutants. as  feedstock in the chemical industry. Text alignment Right Background color Pink Media Title Fluxys Description As a multifuel, LNG is an important stepping stone to a hydrogen economy. ID energy-transition Title Essential role in the energy transition Heading type H2 Text Port of Antwerp-Bruges is a major energy hub  today. A great many companies at the port are closely involved in the production, processing and distribution of energy to and from various European and global markets. Unfortunately, this also releases greenhouse gases. Today, CO 2 emissions from the entire port area amount to around 17 million tons.   Port of Antwerp-Bruges wants to be climate neutral by 2050 . This is why it is necessary to switch to green energy and raw materials. Media Title Green energy hub Description Port of Antwerp-Bruges plays a major role in the local and international hydrogen economy or hydrogen chain by focusing on three pillars: the production and supply of hydrogen, the hydrogen distribution infrastructure, hydrogen consumption and transport to hinterland end-users.

We are working on the  local production   of hydrogen  and derivatives. This is how we are testing new technologies and have the first significant green hydrogen streams available. Title HyoffWind Heading type H5 Text This Bruges-based consortium will build a plant that converts renewable energy into green hydrogen by 2026. The plant will convert electricity from partners Parkwind and Eoly Energy into green hydrogen gas for the natural gas grid, industrial users at home & abroad and for balancing Elia's electricity grid. Text alignment Left Background color Transparent Media Title HyoffWind Description HyoffWind is a plant that converts renewable energy to green hydrogen. Title Plug Heading type H5 Text A hydrogen plant in NextGen District in Antwerp that will produce green hydrogen. By combining locally produced solar and wind energy and purchased green electricity, they can produce 12,500 tonnes of liquid and gaseous green hydrogen per year for the European market. Title 1.2 Local blue production Heading type H4 Text Antwerp@C aims to capture, liquefy and store CO₂ intermediately (Carbon Capture & Storage, CCS) by 2030 and then ship it to underground storage. Using captured CO₂, natural gas is converted to blue hydrogen and stored underground. With the A@C consortium, which also includes Kairos@C from BASF and Air Liquide, work is ongoing on the necessary CO₂ infrastructure to make this possible.  Title 1.3 Renewable energy imports Heading type H4 Text There is not enough wind or solar energy in Belgium and Western Europe to supply the port and all its users with green energy. This means we need to import renewable energy from regions where sun and wind are available in large quantities.   We are therefore committed to the global  supply or  importing of hydrogen and its carriers   from   countries such as Chile, Oman, Namibia, USA, Canada, Egypt or Brazil. There is a surplus of green electicity from solar and wind energy there. The  global spread  of these regions ensures that Belgium and Europe are  less dependent  on a small number of countries for their energy supplies. We expect the first imports in 2026.   The Hydrogen Import Coalition , comprising leading players such as DEME , Engie , Exmar , Fluxys , WaterstofNet and Port of Antwerp-Bruges, recently presented a detailed roadmap for hydrogen import in Belgium. This ambitious strategic vision provides insight into possible future scenarios and the associated infrastructure development. Media Title Hydrogen supply chain Description Port of Antwerp-Bruges imports hydrogen from countries all over the world, such as Chile, Oman, Namibia, Egypt and Brazil. Title How do you import energy? Heading type H5 Text You can import energy in the form of hydrogen bound to another molecule. Port of Antwerp-Bruges is committed to importing large volumes of sustainable hydrogen (carriers) , such as liquid hydrogen, methanol, ammonia, synthetic methane and Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC's). The latter substance is a pure transport molecule for hydrogen . At the port, we convert these substances back into pure hydrogen that we can use as a raw material or fuel.

Fluxys is working on an open-access hydrogen pipeline connecting Antwerp and Zeebrugge with the German hinterland and the other neighbouring countries. Any company can connect to an open-access pipeline. Title Reception terminals Heading type H4 Text Port of Antwerp-Bruges already has the necessary infrastructure for receiving various hydrogen carriers such as methanol, ammonia and methane today. We are continuing to build these up for storing larger volumes . For example, Fluxys and Advario are planning to build an open-access import terminal for green ammonia by 2027 . Background color Transparent Heading type H2 Text Industry uses both hydrogen carriers and pure hydrogen gas. Port of Antwerp-Bruges is working on plants that extract the gas from hydrogen carriers. Air Liquide is thus building a pilot plant for cracking ammonia (NH3) on an industrial scale in the port of Antwerp. When hydrogen is converted into ammonia, you can easily transport it over long distances. ID production Title 3.
