Enertrag Relies on The Hamburg Industrial Hydrogen Centre
Hamburg, Germany - Hamburg is increasingly developing into an industrial hot spot for the hydrogen ramp-up in Germany. One of the reasons for this is the future decarbonisation of the logistics and shipping industry, which is dependent on green hydrogen and its derivatives. Enertrag also wants to participate in this development and is cooperating with the shipping industry.
Strategic importance of the location - office opening on the eve of Hamburg WindEnergy
The Laeiszhof offers Enertrag a strategically important location close to the Port of Hamburg, one of the central hubs for the development of hydrogen logistics in Europe. In close cooperation with the F. Laeisz Group and other partners based at Laeiszhof, including H2Global, Enertrag will drive forward the infrastructure for trading and utilising green hydrogen.
"Hamburg is the centre of wind energy in Germany and a key location for the hydrogen economy. With our new office in Laeiszhof, we are focusing on the long-term development of this location and want to make a decisive contribution to the energy transition," explains Dr Gunar Hering, CEO of Enertrag.
Green ammonia: cooperation with the F. Laeisz shipping company
The close cooperation with the shipping company F. Laeisz, a player in ammonia logistics, is a central component of Enertrag's strategic orientation in Hamburg. Both companies are driving forward the use of green ammonia and methanol in shipping in order to reduce CO2 emissions.
Ammonia and methanol, produced from green hydrogen, are ideal low-emission energy sources. Laeisz plans to convert parts of its fleet to these, while Enertrag is working on the necessary production and availability of the hydrogen derivatives to effectively support the decarbonisation of shipping.
Enertrag focuses on ramping up the hydrogen economy and infrastructure According to Enertrag, the new site is a contribution to the general ramp-up of the hydrogen economy in Germany and Europe. In addition to the conversion of maritime logistics, the development of a comprehensive infrastructure for the production, storage and transport of green hydrogen plays a central role in Enertrag's strategy.

"We want to supply not only the shipping industry, but also numerous other industries with green hydrogen in order to make the energy supply climate-neutral in the long term," emphasises Dr Gunar Hering. The Port of Hamburg offers the ideal conditions to act as a hub for the import and export of hydrogen and its derivatives.
