A total of 11 wind turbines will be used in Belgian Port to charge more than 20,000 electric vehicles (EVs) every week.
The wind turbines are forecast to provide a total of 110GWh of renewable energy a year, equivalent to the consumption of about 30,000 families.
The project is also estimated to eliminate 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.
The ‘green terminal’, which consists of 308 charging points, could potentially power moored ships as well in the future.

Carmeuse, Engie And John Cockerill Join Forces To Reduce Industrial CO2 Emissions In Wallonia
Carmeuse, ENGIE and John Cockerill have signed a Joint Development Agreement for an innovative Carbon Capture and Utilisation (“CCU”) project in Wallonia. This project will concentrate CO2 from an innovative type of lime kiln, combine it with green hydrogen and produce “e-methane”, a renewable gas that can be injected in the gas grid or used in transport or in the industry. The green hydrogen will be produced by a 75 MW electrolyser plant powered by green electricity. This project is the largest of its kind in the world. It opens new routes for significant carbon emission reductions in Europe and the world.
