Belgian midstreamer Fluxys said Monday that it has made a positive final investment decision to nearly double the regasification capacity at its Zeebrugge liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal after a successful open season. 

The company said the full 6 million metric tons/year (mmty) of additional regasification capacity at the facility in Belgium was fully subscribed during a binding open season. Fluxys said it would move ahead on construction of the infrastructure required to expand the terminal. 

The expansion would be completed in two phases. Another 4.7 mmty would be made available in early 2024, while the full 6 mmty would become available in early 2026, almost doubling the terminal’s capacity, Fluxys said.
