The facility will recycle 80,000 metric tons of plastic annually, with future expansion to 160,000 tons. Construction starts post-permitting in 2025, supporting circular economy and low-carbon goals.
The Ghent facility captures steelmaking gases, converting them into ethanol. It aims to produce 80M liters annually, reducing emissions by 125,000 tonnes, supporting the EU's 2030 Climate Target Plan.
The 1 GW H2BE hydrogen project at Rodenhuize in Ghent moves to the next development phase, with over 20 potential off-takers and support from investment funds and Belgian authorities.
The €200M Steelanol project uses LanzaTech's tech to convert waste gases into ethanol, reducing emissions by 125,000 tonnes annually. A €35M Torero project will further cut emissions by 112,500 tonnes.
The new plant in Ghent converts waste oils into biodiesel for maritime and trucking sectors, reducing carbon emissions and supporting the circular economy with advanced waste-processing technology.
The new CO2 capture line in Ghent increases annual CO2 capture by 60%, totaling 160,000 tons. The captured CO2 is reused in various industries, reducing fossil CO2 emissions by the same amount.
The expansion increases capacity in Ghent and improves production flow in Pace, driven by rising demand. Tertiary amines are vital for surfactants in home care and industrial applications.
The H2BE project will produce low-carbon hydrogen from natural gas using ATR and CCS, supporting Belgium's hydrogen strategy and aiming for operations before 2030 to meet decarbonization targets.
The $30M investment expands a partnership to use carbon capture technology, reducing CO2 emissions and producing bio-ethanol. The project is part of a broader effort to decarbonize and innovate.
A 1 GW electrolyser will link to a 2 GW offshore wind farm, supplying renewable hydrogen via a 45 km pipeline to major industrial players in the Dutch-Flemish North Sea Port cluster.
Ghent Industrial zone lies in the North Sea Port cluster, one of the 16 chemical clusters of Northwest Europe. Cluster Watch maps what each is building and closing, and the pipelines between them.
