CINEA Funds Pomeranian Green Hydrogen Cluster to Boost Cross-Border Production and Distribution
Key Ideas
- European funding from CINEA supports the Pomeranian Green Hydrogen Cluster project in Poland to explore green hydrogen production potential.
- Partnerships between GAZ-SYSTEM, PNE, Sevivon, and GASCADE Gastransport aim to develop hydrogen infrastructure in northwestern Poland and northeastern Germany.
- The project has received 190,000 euros in funding for feasibility studies and business analysis, focusing on optimizing renewable energy efforts in the region.
- GAZ-SYSTEM's Hydrogen Map of Poland project and dialogue with the market demonstrate efforts to assess hydrogen transport interest and explore cross-border initiatives like the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor.
The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) has allocated financial support for the Pomeranian Green Hydrogen Cluster project, facilitated through European funding under the CEF Cross-border Renewable Energy instrument. This initiative in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship aims to investigate green hydrogen production possibilities, with Sevivon planning to establish wind and solar farms for renewable hydrogen generation. The partnership between GAZ-SYSTEM, PNE, Sevivon, and GASCADE Gastransport focuses on assessing the potential for green hydrogen production and building hydrogen infrastructure in northwestern Poland and northeastern Germany. Under the 'CEF ENERGY' program, the European Commission has introduced a new category of cross-border projects eligible for renewable energy funding, with the Pomeranian Green Hydrogen Cluster project receiving positive approval from CINEA for a feasibility analysis and business assessment. The project, supported with 190,000 euros in funding, aims to optimize efforts in producing and using renewable energy in the region. GAZ-SYSTEM is also working on the Hydrogen Map of Poland project to evaluate the market's interest in hydrogen transport through a transmission network, in addition to exploring other cross-border initiatives like the Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor. These initiatives collectively represent a regional focus on establishing cross-border hydrogen networks to enable the transmission of renewable hydrogen across Baltic region countries.
