Belgian terminal operator Fluxys is offering 21.6 GWh/month of bio-LNG capacity at its Zeebrugge LNG terminal for June-December through an auction closing on 20 May.
Fluxys is offering all of the capacity as one lot. The reserve price is €2.99/MWh, which is the regulated tariff for long-term bio-LNG capacity. The tariff for short-term capacity for May is presently cheaper at €2.09/MWh.
The bio-LNG capacity is only inclusive of the right for the buyer to handle bio-LNG volumes at the terminal, and is not inclusive of other terminal or commodity costs.
Fluxys previously sold 21.6 GWh/month on a long-term basis for each of 2023, 2024 and 2025, and earlier this year said long-term capacity was sold out. It is unclear if the buyer of previous volumes has backed out of its term deal, or if Fluxys is offering additional capacity.
Bio-LNG interest has stepped up this year following the start of FuelEU maritime regulations, which encourage the use of cleaner marine fuels.
