General project information
BE-HyStore is a research and development project supported by the Energy Transition Fund of the Belgian Federal Government.
Fundamental research is performed by UGent and Fluxys performs industrial research.
Research objective
BE-HyStore targets axis 3 of the energy transition plan: Security of supply and grid balance. The specific topic being addressed are:
- Flexibility and transmission network balance (+ system security + resilience): Building out large-scale energy storage facilities to reduce balancing costs and increase flexibility’ (topic 3.4)
- ‘Energy transition to 2050 and beyond: Towards a flexible energy system without CO2, without waste and at the lowest possible system cost’ (topic 3.9)
Aim
Belgium wants to become a leader in hydrogen
Import and transit hub for renewable molecules: H2 storage
Expanding Belgian leadership in hydrogen technology
Establishing a robust hydrogen market and development of a hydrogen transport network
