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 HYDROTUG 1_Haven van Oostende_1_2022 ID wat-is-waterstof 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. 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 . In addition, a number of chemical and refining processes in our port also produce hydrogen as a useful by-product. This type is also known white hydrogen. Title Grey hydrogen Heading type H3 Text Grey hydrogen  is made with fossil fuels . During production, CO₂ is released into the atmosphere. Text alignment Left Media ICOON_Waterstof_Rood.ai Text items 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 freen 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. Background color Transparent 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 Fluxys_Zeebrugge_ 2022 (5) ID energietransitie Title Essential role in the energy transition Heading type H2 Text Port of Antwerp-Bruges is a major green 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.

Background color Transparent Title Antwerp@C Heading type H5 Text This consortium aims to capture , store and reuse CO₂ to produce blue hydrogen . A major stepping stone toward greens hydrogen. Title Importing energy and hydrogen Heading type H4 Text There is not enough wind or solar energy in Belgium and Western Europe. 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, 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 of hydrogen in 2026.   To this end, we are joining forces with  Deme ,  Engie ,  Exmar ,  Fluxys , and  WaterstofNet  in the  hydrogen import coalition . This focuses on concrete projects that shape the production, transport and storage of hydrogen. Media Port of Antwerp-Bruges as lever for a global hydrogen supply chain_UNI_2022 07 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. The latter substance is a pure transport molecule . At the port, we convert these substances back into pure hydrogen that we can use as a raw material or fuel.
