In co-operation with energy suppliers, DB Cargo said it has developed a solution for transporting this hydrogen inland via rail.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe German rail network is an environmental network with a route length of more than 35,000 kilometres. DB Cargo alone serves more than 2,100 interfaces, customer connections, terminals and inland ports,\u201d said Sigrid Nikutta, head, DB Cargo.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreen hydrogen needs green logistics and we can already offer that today,\u201d <\/p>\n
Hydrogen focus<\/strong><\/p>\n DB Cargo said it is currently working on a number of different hydrogen logistics solutions.<\/p>\n This includes being a partner in the non-profit company Reallabor Burghausen ChemDelta and delivering hydrogen trains for DB Regio, which are currently undergoing testing across Germany\u2019s rail network.<\/p>\n The company is also developing new hydrogen containers to transport the fuel as a gas and is testing the logistics for pure hydrogen. However, it said that for the time being this would only benefit small-scale operations, such as hydrogen filling stations.<\/p>\n For now, as hydrogen arrives in Germany bound in liquids rather than in gaseous form, tank wagons that are already widely used by the chemical industry will transport the fuel.<\/p>\n DB Cargo said that carrying hydrogen via rail should fast-track the use of hydrogen on Germany\u2019s energy mix, especially as a pipeline network to that end is not yet in existence. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DB Cargo is working on a supply chain solution for the transport of hydrogen from sea ports to consumers in the hinterland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2682,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[40,688,122,270,10,9,689],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-db-cargo","tag-germany","tag-hinterland","tag-hydrogen","tag-ports","tag-rail-freight"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2681"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2681\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2683,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2681\/revisions\/2683"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2681"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
