33. Depreciation costs of tangible and intangible fixed assets

The depreciation costs were as follows:

In millions of euros 2024 2023
     
Depreciation costs tangible fixed assets (w/o right of use assets) 321.5 329.4
Depreciation costs right-of-use assets 10.1 65.3
Depreciation costs intangible fixed assets 9.7 8.3
Result form disposals 12.4 1.9
     
Total depreciation costs 353.7 404.9

The decrease in depreciation costs of the right-of-use assets is due to the change in the way in which EemsEnergyTerminal is recognised in the financial statements, as explained in note ‎1 ‘Significant matters and events’.

The book result from disposals is the balance of the net realisable value of the assets sold or transferred minus the carrying amount of these assets on the date of disposal. The book result on the disposals in 2024 mainly relates to the accelerated decommissioning of part of a compressor station which is (earlier than originally forecast) no longer useful for gas transmission.
