On 13 May, the three partners of the Columbus project (Carmeuse, John Cockerill and ENGIE Belgium) had the honor of receiving the Walloon Minister of Energy, Philippe Henry, and his team, at the ENGIE site in Amercoeur. The importance of this project for the decarbonization of the Walloon industry was highlighted.

When it becomes concrete, the Columbus project will make it possible to avoid 160 kt of CO2 emissions per year and will become a showcase for the energy transition in Wallonia, a pioneer in the decarbonization of its industry.
