Germany鈥檚 national railway operator Deutsche Bahn plans to transport large amounts of green hydrogen on trains, offering an alternative to transport through non-existent pipelines. 鈥淔reight subsidiary DB Cargo wants to transport urgently needed hydrogen by freight train in the future,鈥� the state-owned company聽. "This concept represents an efficient alternative to hydrogen pipelines," which have yet to be installed, the company said. "There are currently many new initiatives to bring green hydrogen to Germany by sea," Sigrid Nikutta, head of DB Cargo, added. "We have developed a solution that brings hydrogen easily and efficiently from the ports to consumers in the hinterland, particularly to our industrial customers. In this way, we are creating a safe and efficient supply chain for the German economy."

Hydrogen is usually bound in liquids like ammonia when transported to Germany in order to simplify transportation via ships, Deutsche Bahn said. 鈥淚n cooperation with energy suppliers, DB Cargo has developed a concept for transport to recipients far from seaports,鈥� the company said. 鈥淭he hydrogen is left in this liquid bond. This means that the usual tank wagons can be used for rail freight transport.鈥� It added that the tank wagons are already used by the chemical industry. 鈥淥nly when hydrogen is to be used as an energy source is the cargo 鈥榗racked鈥� back into its components, the hydrogen separated and used as an energy carrier,鈥� the company said.

In the fight against climate change, hydrogen made with renewable electricity聽is seen as a vital tool for decarbonising聽sectors with particularly stubborn emissions, such as heavy industry and aviation. Germany is set to import the lion鈥檚 share of its future green hydrogen requirements because it doesn鈥檛 have the space required for the additional renewable power production.
