Equinor and Engie progress 1GW Belgian blue hydrogen project

The firms have signed a joint development agreement following completion of a feasibility study

Norway’s Equinor and France’s Engie have agreed to progress the 1GW H2BE blue hydrogen project in Belgium following a year-long feasibility study. H2BE will be sited in Ghent and use authothermal reforming technology with CCS. The captured CO₂ will be transported in liquid form for permanent storage at a site in the Norwegian North Sea. Equinor and Engie will also cooperate with Belgium’s Fluxys to link H2BE with the latter’s planned hydrogen and CCS networks. Belgium plans to create a European hydrogen import hub and is funding a network of hydrogen pipelines to connect the country’s ports to its industrial areas and Germany by 2028. 1GW – Planned H2BE capacity More than 20 potentia
