Germany-based logistics firm duisport has revealed plans to establish the trimodal Duisburg Gateway Terminal (DGT) in collaboration with Cosco Shipping Logistics, Hupac and the HTS Group.
The DGT will be Europe’s first climate-neutral container terminal powered by hydrogen technology once it is operational.
The terminal is expected to be completed by 2023.
Under the enerPort project, duisport and the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology (UMSICHT) developed customised models and selected modern technologies for this upcoming hub.
As part of the follow-up enerPort II project, a sustainable energy system will be installed at the DGT to incorporate renewable energies, energy storage, consumers and other hydrogen solutions.
duisport said that enerPort II is the first hydrogen project to be ‘implemented directly’ at the Port of Duisburg.
Other entities involved in the project include Rolls-Royce’s Power Systems business unit, Westenergie Netzservice, Netze Duisburg, Stadtwerke Duisburg and Stadtwerke Duisburg Energiehandel.
