Exploring Green Hydrogen Potential in West Pomerania: Cross-Border Cooperation and Infrastructure Development
Key Ideas
  • GAZ-SYSTEM SA, PNE AG, and GASCADE Gastransport Gmbh are collaborating to investigate green hydrogen production and transportation potential in West Pomerania.
  • The 'Pomeranian Green Hydrogen Cluster Project' aims to connect the Polish and German hydrogen networks by producing renewable hydrogen from wind and photovoltaic parks.
  • European Commission's support through programs like 'CEF Energy' and 'Connecting Europe Facility' is facilitating the development of the hydrogen grid infrastructure in the region.
  • GASCADE's 'Flow – making hydrogen happen' program plans a high-performance hydrogen pipeline system to link the Baltic Sea coast to Baden-Württemberg, Poland, and the Czech Republic by 2025.
A joint effort between GAZ-SYSTEM SA, PNE AG, and GASCADE Gastransport Gmbh is set to explore the potential of green hydrogen production and transportation in the West Pomeranian region. The 'Pomeranian Green Hydrogen Cluster Project' has received financial support from the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA), aiming to investigate green hydrogen production possibilities and connect to existing hydrogen networks in Poland and Germany. The project involves Sevivon, a subsidiary of PNE AG, planning to construct wind and photovoltaic parks in West Pomerania to produce renewable hydrogen for distribution to consumers in Poland and Germany through hydrogen grids. Collaboration between GASCADE and Polish grid operator GAZ-SYSTEM will investigate connecting the Polish hydrogen grid with the German 'Flow – making hydrogen happen' project, supported by the European Commission's 'Connecting Europe Facility – CEF' program. The European Commission's 'CEF ENERGY' introduces funding for cross-border renewable energy projects, supporting initiatives like the 'Pomeranian Green Hydrogen Cluster'. GASCADE's ambitious 'Flow – making hydrogen happen' program aims to establish a robust hydrogen pipeline system from the Baltic Sea to Baden-Württemberg, with connections to Poland and the Czech Republic, starting operations in 2025. The program also includes the conversion of existing gas pipelines to transport hydrogen, promoting international hydrogen market connectivity for European industries. GASCADE focuses on transitioning its pipeline network to support hydrogen transport, participating in multiple onshore and offshore hydrogen projects to promote sustainable energy practices.
