Colruyt and Fluxys build hydrogen plant in port of Zeebrugge

Plans for a first hydrogen plant in Flanders by Colruyt and Fluxys were announced by De Tijd in early October last year. The promoters then still had to choose a location: Antwerp or Zeebrugge. Antwerp, with its chemical cluster, has large users of hydrogen, while Zeebrugge is at the source for green energy from offshore wind farms and is a major hub in the natural gas network. The hydrogen can be pumped into the gas network as green energy. From a feasibility study, Zeebrugge has emerged as the best location, Time now reports.
