Pomeranian Green Hydrogen Cluster

The Pomeranian Green Hydrogen Cluster is a cross-border project covering the West Pomeranian and Lubuskie Provinces in Poland, as well as Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Brandenburg in Germany. Owing to favourable weather conditions for renewable energy in these areas, the development of a combination of wind and photovoltaic farms is planned to produce green hydrogen on a gigawatt scale. In addition to conducive conditions for the production of renewable energy, the region of Polish and German Pomerania is known for its highly developed industry which requires the use of hydrogen or may need it for the purpose of decarbonisation of operations in the future.

As part of the project, GAZ-SYSTEM entered into a cooperation agreement with PNE AG, its subsidiary Sevivon Sp. z o.o. and GASCADE Gastransport GmbH, a German transmission system operator. 

The project aims to analyse the potential for green hydrogen generation in the West Pomeranian region where Sevivon plans to build wind and solar farms to produce renewable hydrogen which can be further supplied via hydrogen transmission networks to final consumers both in Poland and Germany. 

CEF RES funding 
In 2024, under the “Call for Preparatory Studies for Cross-border Renewable Energy Projects” (CEF RES) grant competition, the project partners applied for funding for business case analysis ‘Cross-border Pomeranian Green Hydrogen Cluster’. The application was accepted by the European Climate, Environment and Infrastructure Executive Agency CINEA, and awarded a grant of 190,000 EUR on 4 July 2024. The action supported by the grant involves a feasibility study for the project and an assessment of the viability and conditions for the development of a hydrogen network in the German-Polish border area. The overarching purpose of these activities is to enhance and optimise national efforts towards the production and use of renewable energy.


Project status  
The project partners are currently advancing the development of feasibility study and conducting an analysis of the potential for green hydrogen production and the possibility of hydrogen infrastructure deployment in north-western Poland and north-eastern Germany. 

Follow-up 
Development of the feasibility study and necessary analyses to determine the conditions for construction and technical parameters of the planned hydrogen infrastructure.
