✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Halved greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 compared to 2017 levels (on track)
- Reduced greenhouse gas intensity of transmission and storage by 7% compared to 2017 and remained stable compared to 2020.
- Reduced greenhouse gas intensity of LNG terminalling by 27% compared to 2020 due to less LNG being regasified. Avoided 53,000 tonnes of CO2 in 2021 by maximizing use of regasifiers with seawater.
- Building three additional regasifiers with seawater at Zeebrugge LNG Terminal to further minimize greenhouse gas intensity.
- Purchased entirely renewable electricity since 2021.
- 10 proposals for open access hydrogen and CO2 infrastructure in Belgium’s various industrial clusters.
🎯 Climate & Sustainability Targets
🔜 Short-term
- Halve greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2017 levels by 2025.
