KLIMAready is a cross-cluster project that supports companies in taking concrete steps towards climate neutrality. The focus is on subprojects (i.e. cluster bridges) of practical relevance, on knowledge transfer and on the development of sustainable networks. Through a continually growing knowledge hub, events and numerous publications, KLIMAready provides practical support services for climate protection in everyday business.
Cluster bridge 1: Energy sharing in the Allermöhe industrial estate
The first cluster bridge addresses the topic of energy transformation in the Allermöhe industrial park, with four companies actively contributing to the methodical development of possible measures. To this end, the Kreativgesellschaft Hamburg invited participants to an eight-day series of workshops in the form of the Cross-Innovation-Lab. Participants developed solutions using design-thinking methods and taking specific company needs into account.
The companies showed particular interest in the implementation of measures for energy generation and sharing in order to cooperate in terms of energy supply and benefit from added value. The idea came about for a joint pilot project, involving several local companies, which pursues the joint generation and use of energy. The project management also tendered a feasibility study for the joint generation and use of energy in the Allermöhe industrial park. The aim is to efficiently network local potential – for example from renewable energies – to cut costs and reduce carbon emissions. The study will run until the beginning of 2026 under the authorship of Bürgerenergie Bille eG.
Cluster bridge 2: E-charging infrastructure for heavy loads
The second cluster bridge focuses on the development of an e-charging infrastructure for heavy-load traffic around Hamburg Airport. The six local companies held a kick-off workshop in which they collected initial needs and ideas. In another exchange format, key stakeholders such as hySOLUTIONS, Economic Development and Technology Transfer Schleswig-Holstein (WTSH) and others came together to discuss needs, opportunities and challenges as well as the next steps. An accompanying company survey shall systematically record the requirements. The aim is to create added value for the companies located in the proximity of the airport and to bundle costs by taking a joint approach.
Summary
With the cluster bridges, KLIMAready demonstrates how specific, transferable solutions for energy, mobility and climate protection can be created through close cooperation.
