The province of Antwerp has granted the permit, but adds the special condition that the site must be climate neutral within ten years. “This condition was not imposed blindly,” says Luk Lemmens, deputy for environmental permits. “The technologies to achieve this goal are not yet ready. That is why an evaluation will be carried out every two years to determine whether Ineos uses the best available technologies to achieve climate neutrality. This includes the use of hydrogen in production processes.”
