Pasewalk becomes the center for hydrogen: 300 million euros for the future!

Pasewalk becomes the center for hydrogen: 300 million euros for the future!

Pasewalk, Deutschland - The industrial city of Pasewalk takes a big step into the future of renewable energies. With the signing of a purchase contract for a 6.5 hectare property in the Berlin-Szczecin industrial park, at the gates of Pasewalks, the ENERGRAM company has laid the foundation for a future-oriented hydrogen project. The project aims to realize one of the first hydrogen plants in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is connected to the German hydrogen kernel network.

Investments and expansion plans

In the first stage of expansion, an electrolyse output of 60 megawatts is planned. This will make it possible to generate around 6000 tons of hydrogen annually - definitely an announcement in the region. Ener yield plans to invest up to 300 million euros in this location and even has a plan for a possible later expansion to 180 megawatts in the hindquarters. "There is something," a representative of the company commented on the ambitious plans. Technical planning should take place this year, while the approval documents are to be submitted in the first half of the next year.

Receive nature in view

An important point in the implementation of the project is the nature conservation measures. A reptile protection fence for 2025 is already planned so that the local flora and fauna does not suffer during construction activities. The start of construction is sought for 2027, with commissioning by 2029.

hydrogen: building block of the European energy transition

But what does this project mean for the region and beyond? Pasewalk is part of the "Doing Hydrogen" composite project, which plays a key role within the electrolysis corridor East Germany. This project is part of the IPCEI funding program (Important Projects of Common European Interest), which was approved by the European Commission. With the approval of the third project wave, the EU has taken a further step to improve hydrogen supply and to reduce the dependence on natural gas.

Various Member States of the EU, including Germany, France and Italy, support this project with up to 6.9 billion euros in public funds. "This is a very big step," say projectors and experts who help to build a stable hydrogen infrastructure in the federal states of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Brandenburg, Berlin, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. This step is crucial to achieve the goals of the European Green Deal and the RepowerUeu plan.

A good team behind the project

The Hydrogenwerk Pasewalk GmbH & Co KG, which was founded in 2024, is managed by Energende, a company that looks back on an experience of 25 years in the industry and employs over 1200 people. With a strong team and a clear vision, the course for the development of a sustainable hydrogen economy in the region could be optimally set.

The coming years promise to be exciting - for Pasewalk and the entire region. Anyone who works in the hydrogen economy or has an ear for the latest developments will definitely be at the pulse of time.
