Abstract
The port of Antwerp is vital for the Belgian economy. This port provides jobs for more than 150,000 people and is ranked as the biggest chemical cluster of Europe. However, its industrial activities also release significant GreenHouse Gases. In response to the emissions mitigation target of Belgium for 2030 (-47% compared to 2005), the project Antwerp@C has come to life. Its goal is to halve the CO2 emissions of the port by 2030 and to reach net zero in 2050 by means of Carbon Capture Utilisation (CCU) and Storage (CCS). In this context, this thesis aims to analyse the economic feasibility and the impacts on the Belgian energy system in 2030, when the captured CO2 of the port is used for Power-to-Gas and/or stored.
