- Fluxys Belgium S.A. (FLUX.BR) operates as Belgium's independent transmission system operator for natural gas, managing a high-pressure pipeline network spanning 4,000 kilometers; an underground storage facility at Loenhout; and the Zeebrugge LNG terminal with an annual regasification capacity of 197 TWh, offering terminalling services including unloading and loading of LNG carriers, storage, regasification for network transmission, truck loading for break-bulk distribution, and LNG bunkering for ships at Antwerp. The company provides complementary services such as market-based balancing, direct connections for over 230 industrial sites and power plants, aggregated receiving stations for local distributors serving households and small-to-medium enterprises, guarantees of origin for green gas, injection of non-compatible gas, and grid access for more than 90 transmission customers; it also supports biomethane liquefaction into bio-LNG since 2020 and prepares its infrastructure for hydrogen, other low-carbon molecules, and CO2 transport in alignment with Europe's decarbonization goals. Founded in 1929 and headquartered at Avenue des Arts 31 in Brussels, Fluxys Belgium employs 982 staff and serves as a key crossroads for international gas flows in Northwest Europe, interconnecting with 12 points to adjacent markets including direct links to France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK, while facilitating supplies from LNG terminals in Zeebrugge and Dunkirk as well as European production facilities. In recent developments, the company commissioned four new loading docks at Zeebrugge on January 1, 2025, boosting truck loading capacity by 22% in the first half of the year amid rising demand for LNG and bio-LNG, which saw booked capacity triple to 1,069 GWh and a ninefold volume increase from German transport; construction began in spring 2025 on initial hydrogen pipelines between Antwerp and Ghent ports and CO2 pipelines in Antwerp, with subsidiary Fluxys c-grid appointed as Wallonia's CO2 network operator in July 2025 and applying for Flanders; Fluxys signed a June 2025 memorandum of understanding with Germany's OGE and Norway's Equinor for cross-border CO2 infrastructure linking German emitters to North Sea storage; and in October 2024, parent Fluxys agreed to invest in Elia Group's share capital increase alongside Energy Infrastructure Partners to form a diversified transmission platform spanning gas and power grids in Belgium and Germany.
