(AOF) – Lhyfe, one of the world’s pioneers in the production of green and renewable hydrogen, and duisport (company that owns and manages the port of Duisburg – the largest inland port in the world) are studying the feasibility of build the first hydrogen production plant by electrolysis in the port of Duisburg.
The Duisburger Verkehrs- und Versorgungsgesellschaft (DVV – Duisburg transport and supply authority), the Wirtschaftsbetriebe Duisburg (WBD – Public waste cleaning, collection and treatment company) and the Duisburg Gateway Terminal (DGT – Port terminal of the city of Duisburg) would use hydrogen directly for local use. To this end, all partners involved have signed a declaration of intent.
In order to support the local economy in its transition to climate-neutral energy sources and decarbonize mobility, the project partners, future buyers of green and renewable hydrogen, have been working in close collaboration for several months.
The DVV intends to use this sustainable energy source for its hydrogen buses, WBD for its refuse collection vehicles and duisport for its internal logistics and the operation of the port terminal.
As a first step, Lhyfe will carry out the feasibility study. The hydrogen production unit, with a maximum capacity of 20 MW, whose construction is planned on land belonging to Duisburger Hafen AG (Port of Duisburg), could be commissioned by mid-2025.
