Evos Hamburg has reached a significant milestone with the formal commencement of the lease for the 4.6-hectare Hohe Schaar site, one of the last strategically important development plots within the Port of Hamburg. The agreement reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to sustainable growth and supports Germany’s transition toward a new energy landscape.
Situated directly adjacent to the existing Evos Hamburg terminal, Hohe Schaar provides immediate access to key port infrastructure. The site is widely regarded as one of the final premium areas available in the port for large-scale expansion projects. By awarding the lease, the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) Anstalt öffentlichen Rechts highlights the strategic importance of aligning new developments with the Port Development Plan 2040, which prioritises sustainable energy solutions and future-ready infrastructure.
According to Evos CEO Daan Vos, Hohe Schaar has long been identified within the company’s business development strategy as a cornerstone for renewable and low-carbon product initiatives. Planned concepts for the site include infrastructure for hydrogen, ammonia, CO₂ and methanol, supporting the shift toward cleaner energy systems.
Michael Lübke, managing director of Evos Hamburg, described the development of Hohe Schaar as a generational opportunity. He noted that the project will help shape infrastructure that advances Germany’s energy transition while reinforcing Hamburg’s position as a strategic European energy hub.
As a central node in the Evos terminal network, Evos Hamburg operates at Europe’s largest rail freight hub, providing high-quality infrastructure for the storage and handling of liquid bulk products, including biofuels, supported by strong hinterland connections.
In collaboration with regional partners, Evos Hamburg is also advancing the development of a CO₂ hub designed to consolidate captured CO₂ for onward transport to permanent storage or utilisation. By integrating rail logistics, storage capabilities and downstream applications such as methanol, e-fuels and renewable gases, the company aims to enable CO₂ logistics at scale.
With the addition of Hohe Schaar, Evos Hamburg secures critical space for expansion, innovation and partnership, supporting the delivery of lower-carbon logistics solutions and resilient infrastructure designed for the decades ahead.
