HyExperts II: Rügen-Stralsund Region

About the region

The district of Vorpommern-Rügen is located in the north-east of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania directly on the Baltic Sea and is the fifth largest district in Germany in terms of area. As a windy “beach district” with several hundred kilometres of coastline and characterised by tourism, there is a high capacity for generating wind power. A population totalling 225,889 resides in the district.

The Hanseatic city of Stralsund has been a member of the global Climate Alliance since 2009 and, like the island of Rügen, has had a climate protection concept since 2011. The seaports as multimodal industrial and commercial areas with a convenient location and the role of an interface between all land and sea modes of transport play an essential part in the use and transhipment of green hydrogen. The region’s great potential is complemented by the research expertise in hydrogen technology that has been institutionalised at Stralsund University of Applied Sciences for over 20 years.

Hydrogen mission of the region

  • Establishment of a regional hydrogen coordinator in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen
  • Use/expansion of RE generation capacities for the production of green hydrogen in the region (e.g. Stadtwerke Stralsund, Energiewerk Rügen eG)
  • Establishment of a regional hydrogen network
  • Concrete project development for the production and use of green hydrogen in residential development, mobility, agriculture and tourism
  • Development of a “green” port economy at the seaports of Stralsund and Mukran Port
  • Expansion of scientific accompanying research/further development of the living laboratory (Stralsund University of Applied Sciences)
