Rolls-Royce and Duisburger Hafen AG have opened a CO2-neutral and self-sufficient energy system for the new Duisburg Gateway Terminal, located in the Rhine-Ruhr industrial region of Germany. The core components are two mtu combined heat and power units designed for operation with 100-percent hydrogen: in use for the first time worldwide. The setup is supplemented by an mtu battery storage system, mtu fuel cell systems and a photovoltaic system, integrated via an intelligent energy management system.

Duisport is the world’s largest inland port. This Enerport II flagship project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, sets new standards for sustainable energy supply in large logistics centers and is considered a model for other ports, infrastructure projects and industrial facilities.
