RWE Supply & Trading and Duisport have committed to jointly create the necessary infrastructure to use LNG (liquefied natural gas) in the Duisburg port. The goal is to develop and implement a joint and sustainable logistics concept for the provision, storage, distribution and utilisation of LNG. A space for the new LNG service station has already been chosen. The partners have previously been working together to evaluate the possible application of LNG to replace diesel fuels. “We are happy to be working with Duisport on this innovative project. The port of Duisburg provides excellent possibilities for the use of LNG”, emphasizes Andree Stracke, Member of the Executive Board of RWE Supply & Trading GmbH. “As the biggest inland port in the world it has a perfect connection to all traffic channels.” Not only vessels, trains, port vehicles and lorries, but also the Rhein-Ruhr region’s industries and dense population offer excellent opportunities including a large potential consumer base.
