Yesterday, a new public charging hub for electric trucks was inaugurated at the Volvo site in Ghent. The infrastructure was developed by Milence, in collaboration with the Volvo Group. The charging site is an important part of a broader zero-emission mobility hub in North Sea Port, where Air Products is building a hydrogen refuelling station at the same location.

North Sea Port is taking an important step towards enabling the bunkering of LNG, hydrogen, methanol and ammonia in Ghent, Terneuzen and Vlissingen. An independent risk analysis confirms that this can be done safely and efficiently, both truck-to-ship and ship-to-ship, and provides clarity on the conditions under which bunkering can be tested safely.

The Flemish-Dutch Scheldt Delta region is developing into a strategic hub for hydrogen and CO₂ infrastructure in North-West Europe. This infrastructure is an essential condition for competitiveness, cross-border cooperation and industrial transition.

LBC Vlissingen has been awarded a €6.6 million subsidy for the further development of its terminal in Zeeland. This investment represents a significant step in the transition to a future-proof and sustainable port infrastructure.

We welcome LBC Tank Terminals as a new partner within Smart Delta Resources NL. LBC Tank Terminals is a leading, independent liquid bulk storage provider with terminals worldwide, including in Antwerp and Rotterdam. And soon also in Vlissingen-Oost with a new Green Energy Hub.

OCAS's brand new Global Energy Transition Lab (GET-LAB) has officially opened in Zelzate. The test centre supports the development and assessment of materials for technologies that enable industrial transformation and energy transition. These include applications such as hydrogen systems and the safe transport and storage of CO₂.

The Volvo Group is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its truck factory in Ghent and, at the same time, taking the next step in sustainable transformation: the construction of a zero-emission mobility hub on and around the site. The 50th anniversary was celebrated at the Ghent site. The programme focused on craftsmanship, innovation and the sustainable future of mobility.

The first pipelines are being laid in the port areas of Antwerp and Ghent, with a strategic connection between Kallo and Zelzate. The new hydrogen infrastructure will be crucial for making industry in our region more sustainable.

This large-scale project for the production of green hydrogen is an important step in making the regional industry more sustainable.

It concerns ArcelorMittal (ZestA), ENGIE/Equinor (H2BE) and previously TotalEnergies/Zeeland Refinery (EnergHys) and Air Liquide (Elygator).

Today, March 12, the contract for a feasibility study into an ammonia network from the port to the hinterland in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium was signed.

The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (EZK) have awarded VoltH2 a substantial operating subsidy for the Stimulation of Sustainable Energy Production and Climate Transition (SDE++) to support the production of green hydrogen.
