Fluxys is an oil and gas infrastructure group based in Belgium, active in the transmission, storage, and terminalling of Natural gas, Biomethane, Hydrogen, and CO2.
Since the early 2000s, the Fluxys group has expanded its activities beyond Belgium's borders and is now present in Germany, the Netherlands, The United Kingdom, Greece, Switzerland, France, Albania, Portugal, Brazil, Chile, and Oman.
Through its subsidiaries and holdings in various companies, Fluxys operates 28,000 kilometers of pipelines, LNG terminals with a total annual regasification capacity of 485 TWh, and underground natural gas storage facilities with a total capacity of 1.5 billion m³.
Due to reduced production from the Groningen gas field in the Netherlands, Belgium had to switch from low-calorific gas (L-gas) to high-calorific gas (H-gas). The conversion of all affected customers, which began in 2018, was completed by the end of summer 2024.
In Belgium, Fluxys' counterpart for the electricity grid is Elia Transmission Belgium.
History
In Belgium, the purchase, sale, storage, transmission of natural gas and LNG-terminalling activities were historically handled by Distrigaz, a company founded in 1929.
