Arrival of Furnace for Project ONE: A Major Milestone Paragraphs Title A Small Part of the Bigger Pictur Heading type H2 Text The furnace is a key component of PROJECT ONE , INEOS 's new ethane cracker. It will provide the heat needed to convert ethane into ethylene, one of the most important building blocks in the chemical industry. Ethylene is a fundamental raw material used in numerous applications, including car parts, medical devices, and sustainable energy solutions.   Along with the delivery of the furnace, several pipe racks were also transported. These racks support pipelines and other equipment. Despite their massive scale, these arrivals represent only a small fraction of the bigger picture. In June, Gosselin unloaded a splitter at the PSA Breakbulk terminal in Antwerp , another critical component for the project.   Gosselin is handling the construction site’s logistics and temporary storage of components for Project ONE on behalf of INEOS. The logistical service provider acts as the project’s control tower, managing the inbound and outbound transportation of materials, temporary storage of components, just-in-time movements on-site, assembly, inspections, and value-added services. Title The Largest Chemical Investment in Europe Since 2000 Heading type H2 Text The new ethane cracker for Project ONE is scheduled to be operational by mid-2026. The foundation stone was laid on December 15, 2022. According to INEOS, Project ONE represents the largest investment in the European chemical sector since the year 2000 and is expected to create around 450 new jobs. Furthermore, the new ethane cracker will produce half the CO 2 emissions of the 10% least polluting ethane crackers currently in operation.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges and Port of Rotterdam call for a robust Clean Industrial Deal 

The love for the docks is deep, so deep Paragraphs Heading type H2 Text Kurt Struyts explains: "A depth survey is like a land survey, but under water. We map out the depth of the bottom with sonar equipment aboard the Echo. We do this to ensure the safety of navigation. Of course, if we allow ships of a certain depth, we must also ensure that the bottom is deep enough.    With depth soundings, we also monitor dredging operations . In addition, we occasionally assist in retrieving sunken objects, such as lost cargo, fenders or a bicycle. Thanks to the sonar equipment, we can track a grabbing crane live in 3D." Text alignment Right Background color Transparent Media Dieptepeilingen_KurtStuyts_Havenklap_2024 Title Surfing along on the waves Heading type H2 Text In 1986, the Port Authority was still using single-beam sonar to measure the distance to the bottom. Today, we use multi-beam sonar equipment to more accurately map the surface of the bottom. The principle of a sonar is that you send sound waves to the bottom. For every 'ping', every audio signal we send, we receive 1,024 signals. With single-beam, this is just one signal. On average, with both multi-beam and single-beam, we do 30 to 50 pings per second.

For the Zandvliet-Berendrecht lock complex , on the other hand, it does. On the colour chart, therefore, you can see a lot of dredge trace marks. Traffic and lock movements cause the slush to move faster towards the docks. So we monitor that very closely. Size Large Title Stay up to date!

Text alignment Right Background color Blue Media HYDROTUG 1_Haven van Oostende_1_2022 ID what-is-hydrogen Titel What is hydrogen? Heading type H2 Tekst Hydrogen (H) is the simplest and most abundant element in our universe. It has one proton and one electron. In its pure form, it occurs as hydrogen gas (H 2 ) , also called hydrogen for short. At room temperature, it is a colourless and odourless gas that is non-toxic. Title How is hydrogen made? Heading type H3 Text Hydrogen gas (H 2 ) is barely to be found on Earth, but hydrogen atoms are hidden in larger compounds with other elements. Extracting the  hydrogen from these molecules  requires a lot of energy.    Depending on the energy source used for its production, we distinguish between  grey, blue and green hydrogen . In addition, a number of chemical and refining processes in our port also produce hydrogen as a useful by-product. This type is also known white hydrogen. Text alignment Left Background color Transparent Media ICOON_Waterstof_Rood.ai Text items Titel Grijze waterstof Heading type H4 Tekst Grijze waterstof maak je met fossiele brandstoffen . Tijdens de productie komt er CO₂ vrij in de atmosfeer. Titel Blauwe waterstof Heading type H4 Tekst Blauwe waterstof produceer je ook met fossiele brandstoffen . Je vangt wel de vrijgekomen CO₂ af zodat deze niet in de atmosfeer terechtkomt. Die CO₂ hergebruik je in andere toepassingen of sla je op. Dit is een belangrijke opstap richting groene waterstof. Titel Groene waterstof Heading type H4 Tekst Groene waterstof maak je met elektrolyse : je zet water onder stroom zodat het opsplitst in waterstof- en zuurstofgas. Als je die elektriciteit uit hernieuwbare energiebronnen haalt, komt er geen CO₂ vrij. Heading type H2 Text A great deal of energy is needed to separate hydrogen from larger molecules. This energy is released once more when the hydrogen gas reconnects with other atoms. This is what makes hydrogen is an  energy carrier . Despite of its energy intensive production, hydrogen has many advantages: it causes no emissions when burned and its production can be completely green.   Hydrogen has several applications and can be used: to  store surplus energy . as an  alternative energy source  in industry. as  fuel  in the transport sector. Hydrogen can be used in an internal combustion engine without emitting any pollutants. as  feedstock in the chemical industry. Text alignment Right Background color Pink Media Fluxys_Zeebrugge_ 2022 (5) ID energy-transition Titel Essential role in the energy transition Heading type H2 Tekst Port of Antwerp-Bruges is a major energy hub  today. A great many companies at the port are closely involved in the production, processing and distribution of energy to and from various European and global markets. Unfortunately, this also releases greenhouse gases. Today, CO 2 emissions from the entire port area amount to around 17 million tons.   Port of Antwerp-Bruges wants to be climate neutral by 2050 .

By combining locally produced solar and wind energy and purchased green electricity, they can produce 12,500 tonnes of liquid and gaseous green hydrogen per year for the European market. Titel 1.2 Local blue production Heading type H4 Tekst Antwerp@C aims to capture, liquefy and store CO₂ intermediately (Carbon Capture & Storage, CCS) by 2030 and then ship it to underground storage. Blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas with the emitted CO₂ captured and stored underground. Work is underway with the A@C consortium to develop the necessary CO₂ infrastructure to make this possible. Titel 1.3 Importing energy and hydrogen Heading type H4 Tekst There is not enough wind or solar energy in Belgium and Western Europe. This means we need to import renewable energy from regions where sun and wind are available in large quantities.   We are therefore committed to the global  supply or  importing of hydrogen and its carriers   from   countries such as Chile, Oman, Namibia, USA, Canada, Egypt or Brazil. There is a surplus of green electicity from solar and wind energy there. The  global spread  of these regions ensures that Belgium and Europe are  less dependent  on a small number of countries for their energy supplies. We expect the first imports of hydrogen in 2026.   The Hydrogen Import Coalition , comprising leading players such as DEME , Engie , Exmar , Fluxys , Port of Antwerp-Bruges and WaterstofNet , recently presented a detailed roadmap for hydrogen import in Belgium. This ambitious strategic vision provides insight into possible future scenarios and the associated infrastructure development.
