Reliable logistics for a sector in transition

sustainability requirements are rising. At the same time, one thing remains constant – the need for reliable, flexible transport solutions customers can depend on. That is why DB Cargo works with customers in the energy sector to develop intelligent rail logistics concepts that meet both today's and tomorrow's requirements along the transport chain. Rather than looking at individual shipments in isolation, we take an integrated view of supply and disposal logistics at your sites across all inbound and outbound flows.

Connected across Europe – managed with flexibility

From the ARA ports and North Sea ports to industrial consumption centres, DB Cargo manages your transports along international corridors. Our strength lies in coordinating complex transport flows end to end – across different modes of transport where required, and including full on-site logistics. We respond quickly to changing volumes, new sources of supply and short-term requirements, while maintaining high levels of reliability and security of supply.

Dedicated support and full transparency

We support you as a long-term partner along the entire transport chain – from planning through to execution. With our 24/7 transport monitoring and international shipment tracking, you always have full visibility. Our experts act as dedicated contacts and ensure your transports are implemented smoothly, backed by our extensive dangerous goods expertise.

Safe and efficient CO₂ logistics for carbon management

In the transformation of the waste and energy sectors, the capture and transport of unavoidable, process-related CO₂ emissions as part of Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) play a key role in achieving Europe’s climate targets. Efficient logistics chains are required to ensure that captured CO₂ can be transported for further use or permanent storage. Rail is a key component of future CO₂ transport chains, linking industrial sites, CO₂ hubs, ports, storage sites and pipeline access points.

Together with you, we develop safe, flexible and scalable CO₂ transport solutions, drawing on our many years of experience in the transport of sensitive goods.
