On 20 March 2026, the Flemish government appointed Fluxys c‑grid Antwerp as the Local CO₂ Network Operator (LCNO) for the Antwerp port area, marking a significant milestone in Belgium’s decarbonisation journey and a major step forward in developing the country’s emerging CO₂ transport backbone.
As a joint venture between Fluxys Belgium, Pipelink and Air Liquide, Fluxys c‑grid Antwerp is building an open-access CO₂ pipeline network that will provide industrial emitters, both inside and outside the port, with reliable access to permanent storage sites in the North Sea, including through the Antwerp@C CO₂ Export Hub. Construction of this essential infrastructure is already underway.
This designation follows the earlier appointment of Fluxys c‑grid as Carbon Network Operator in both Flanders and Wallonia, further reinforcing the company’s role in shaping a cross-border CO₂ transport network that links Belgian and neighbouring industries, including those in Germany, to storage solutions in the North Sea.
Together with the relevant authorities, Fluxys c‑grid Antwerp will continue developing customer-oriented and affordable CO₂ transport services in a market that is rapidly taking shape.
