What Fluxys Group does
Fluxys Group is a Belgian independent energy infrastructure operator headquartered in Brussels that provides multi-molecule transmission, storage, and terminalling services across Europe, the Middle East, and South America. Its core business encompasses approximately 28,000 kilometers of natural gas pipelines, 485 TWh of annual LNG regasification capacity across four terminals (Zeebrugge in Belgium, Dunkerque in France, Revithoussa in Greece, and Quintero in Chile), and underground gas storage at the Loenhout aquifer facility with 1.5 billion cubic meters of capacity. The company operates as a regulated Transmission System Operator (TSO), providing open, non-discriminatory access to shippers, energy traders, and industrial consumers under regulated tariffs and auction-based pricing mechanisms for capacity booking.
Fluxys is positioning itself as a multi-molecule infrastructure platform, having been designated as Belgium's hydrogen transmission system operator in April 2024 and as operator of Walloon and Flemish regional CO2 transport networks in 2025. The company has launched dedicated subsidiaries (Fluxys hydrogen and Fluxys c-grid) to develop hydrogen and CO2 transport infrastructure, with first biomethane injection into its gas network occurring in October 2024 and construction of the Antwerp CO2 pipeline network beginning in 2025. The company employs approximately 1,500 people and generated a consolidated net profit of EUR 74.9 million in 2025 (down from EUR 82.1 million in 2024) through its primary subsidiary Fluxys Belgium.
Fluxys' commercial model relies on regulated transmission tariffs for natural gas, subscription-based LNG terminalling capacity, auction-based storage sales, and emerging subscription-based hydrogen and CO2 infrastructure tariffs. Customer relationships are managed through direct enterprise sales targeting B2B counterparties including natural gas shippers, energy traders, industrial consumers, and LNG importers, with distribution channels focused on direct shipper relationships, European industry alliances (including the CEO-led European Resilience Alliance for Clean Hydrogen), and policy advocacy for energy transition infrastructure.
