As their impact on the lives and very future of all organisms on Earth unfolds, climate change and global warming pose existential risks to us all and are, arguably, the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Against this backdrop, radically reducing global CO2 emissions is an absolute necessity.
The transport sector has an important role to play in this. It must take effective action and make fast progress towards climate neutrality. This is because the sector accounts for some 20% of CO2 emissions, making it Germany's third-largest source of greenhouse gases after energy and industry. Within the transport business, large lorries account for around a quarter of emissions.
This is where DB Cargo comes in. The simple fact is that trains are one of the most environmentally friendly ways of transporting goods from A to B. Today, a freight train generates 80% to 100% less CO2 than its road transport equivalent. On top of that, it can move as much cargo as 52 lorries combined.

Den intermodale terminal i Taulov, som drives af DB Cargo Scandinavia, er et af de vigtigste knudepunkter for intermodale transporttjenester til og fra Skandinavien. Her håndteres alle former for gods: ammoniak fra Holland, stål fra Sverige og affald fra Italien.
Jan Andersen, Head of Location Management hos DB Cargo Scandinavia, forklarer, hvordan terminalen har fået denne status:

- Det vigtigste er, at vi udvikler skræddersyede logistikløsninger til kunderne. De strategier, som vi har fulgt i mere end ti år, når vi har...

105 kilos: according to Germany's Federal Environment Agency, this is how much paper, paperboard and cardboard the country consumed per person in 2020. Put everyone together and it adds up to a total of 18.3 million tonnes. That same year, the German paper industry produced around 21.4 million tonnes of these products, using approximately 17 million tonnes of waste paper from Germany and other European countries. In other words, waste paper accounted for some 79% of the total output volume. This is where a joint logistics solution from DB Cargo and Smurfit Kappa Recycling B.V. comes in. It is already increasing the role for sustainable rail transport in Europe's waste paper recycling processes.
"We have been transporting waste paper from Denmark to Germany for many years," says Carolin Niess, Account Manager at DB Cargo Scandinavia. "Norway was newly included at the end of 2021 and has filled a gap in our network. When you think of Norway, the options for operating rail freight...
