Germany is accelerating its energy transition by working with industry, infrastructure, and logistics partners.

DB Cargo, in collaboration with Salzgitter AG subsidiary Mannesmann Grossrohr GmbH, is supplying Gasunie Deutschland with the pipes required to connect the Brunsbüttel LNG import terminal to the Northwest European gas interconnection network. Approximately 3,000 pipes were transported by environmentally friendly rail within weeks. The new pipeline is also compatible with hydrogen transport, positioning Elbehafen in Brunsbüttel as a hub for future-proof and sustainable energy supply.

The 55-kilometer energy transport pipeline, managed by network operator Gasunie Deutschland, is expected to begin operations by next winter. The infrastructure is 'H2-ready,' allowing green hydrogen to be landed and efficiently piped into the hinterland. DB Cargo serves the port from the Itzehoe operational center.

The new terminal and pipeline infrastructure at the Port of Brunsbüttel can be used for both LNG imports and distribution and long-term climate-neutral hydrogen production. The delivered pipes, suitable for transporting green hydrogen, were transported in an eco-friendly manner by rail.
