Smart Delta Resources jaarverslag 2020

During the Zeeland Day in The Hague, held at Nieuwspoort and organized by the Province of Zeeland/OZO, Smart Delta Resources hosted the themed session "Zeeland Industry and Strategic Autonomy." In the presence of administrators, policymakers, and industry representatives, the focus was on one central question: how can the Netherlands—together with Flanders—strengthen its strategic autonomy through strong industrial clusters?

For the first time, the Flemish and Walloon governments are joining forces with leading industrial companies to accelerate the roll-out of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in Belgium. On 7 November, a joint declaration was signed at the Holcim site in Obourg (Mons), paving the way for investments in CO₂ infrastructure. This positions Belgium as a crucial hub for decarbonisation in North-Western Europe.

ArcelorMittal Belgium, a partner within the Smart Delta Resources network, aims to be climate neutral by 2050. With the Steelanol plant in Ghent, the company shows how CO (carbon monoxide) from industrial residual gases is converted into ethanol, a raw material for fuels and the chemical sector. A paragon of circular economy and industrial innovation.
