The Port of Duisburg (Duisport), Europe’s top inland port, has teamed up with French renewable hydrogen producer Lhyfe to look into the feasibility of building the first major electrolysis plant in the port.
The planned factory would have a capacity of up to 20 MW and could be built on a plot of land owned by Duisburger Hafen by mid-2025. If the project is implemented, up to eight tonnes of green hydrogen could be produced every day, Lhyfe said.
Duisport has signed up to use green hydrogen produced at the site for its internal logistics and the operation of the Duisburg Gateway Terminal (DGT).
In addition, Duisburger Verkehrs- und Versorgungsgesellschaft (DVV) and Wirtschaftsbetriebe Duisburg (WBD) have signed a declaration of intent to use the energy source for their hydrogen buses and hydrogen-powered refuse collection vehicles, respectively.
“The construction of the first large-scale electrolyser in the Port of Duisburg would be a milestone on the way to decarbonising the domestic economy and industry,” said duisport CEO Markus Bangen. “At the same time, we are fulfilling our promise not only to build the largest container terminal in the European hinterland with the Duisburg Gateway Terminal, but also to operate it in a completely climate-neutral manner.”
