Columbus Project

The Columbus Project was a planned power-to-gas and power-to-liquid fuels facility being developed by Engie in partnership with Carmeuse in Belgium. It was designed to produce low-carbon synthetic fuels, including renewable methane and other eFuels, by combining green hydrogen from renewable electricity with captured CO₂ from industrial emissions, helping decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as transport and industrial heat. Engie and Carmeuse terminated the Columbus Project before construction due to economic and regulatory challenges, ending plans to advance the facility toward commercial operation.
