12. A first highlight of cleantech in Flanders is the capturing of
potential from the North Sea: off-shore wind and wave energy
Energy Production at Sea
Flansea By 2020, an additional 42GW of off-shore
wind capacity will be installed in the North
Sea
Oostende
The port of Oostende has been
restructured to accomodate this industry:
adapted port infrastructure, dedicated
industry terrains, R&D center and
incubator
Research project Flansea will build a
wave energy convertor based on the point
absorber technology
These wave energy convertors can be
placed in between the offshore windfarms,
between the turbines

Flanders and The Netherlands have joined
forces to build state-of-the-art research and
training facilities
The pilot plant in Ghent provides a one-stop
shop for the full production process..
Biorefinery cluster in port of Ghent Largest European integrated
production facility for biofuels ..and will allow the development and optimisation
of biobased processes, upscaling up to
10M3/ton and pilotproduction of new bioproducts
to test market and application potential
The training center in Terneuzen (NL) will
provide demonstration- and educational
equipment for production of biodiesel, bio-
ethanol (1st & 2nd generation), biogas, heat
pumps, solar cells & wind turbines
