HHLA and Linde Engineering build hydrogen station at Port of Hamburg

Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) has commissioned Linde Engineering to build a hydrogen filling station as part of the test centre for hydrogen- powered port logistics at the Container Terminal Tollerort (CTT) in the Port of Hamburg.

Developed within the scope of the port operator’s Clean Port & Logistics (CPL) innovation cluster, the station will be used to fuel hydrogen-powered heavy goods vehicles and terminal equipment and to test them in operation.

At the heart of the filling station, which is expected to begin operation in 2023, is a high-pressure ionic compressor that compresses the hydrogen up to 450 bar.
