Anklam/Greifswald, 26 August 2025 – The biogeniV innovation alliance, coordinated by the city of Anklam as part of the "WIR! – Change through Innovation in the Region" programme, is entering a second funding phase. The German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) is providing a total of 15 million euros for this purpose until 2028, of which 8 million euros will go towards the now approved continuation. The Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) and Cosun Beet Company (Anklam sugar factory) have been partners and spokespersons in the alliance since the project began.
biogeniV has been funded since 2022 to develop new ways of sustainable and regional energy and fuel supply in collaboration with stakeholders from science, industry, agriculture and the municipality of Anklam. In the first funding phase, promising approaches for producing green methanol and processing biogas using membrane technology were developed.
The second phase of the project is now beginning with the implementation. This includes the design of the Anklamer EnergieRegion AnkER – a regional project that brings together the development and use of innovative energy technologies in an exemplary manner. Public events are also planned to give citizens an insight into the ongoing projects.
"This funding commitment is a strong signal of our region's innovative strength. It confirms the successful path we have taken with biogeniV and opens up new perspectives for the sustainable development of Anklam and the surrounding area," explains Michael Galander, Mayor of Anklam and spokesperson for the biogeniV alliance.
The INP is contributing its expertise in plasma technology and the material utilisation of biogenic residues to the alliance. The aim is to further develop decentralised, low-carbon processes for practical applications.
"With biogeniV, we are creating a green energy region based in the Hanseatic city of Anklam through close cooperation between research, industry and society. The aim is to generate green energy and recyclable materials from previously unused biogenic residues and CO₂ and to strengthen local value creation," adds Prof. Dr. Dirk Uhrlandt, member of the INP Board of Directors and also spokesperson for the biogeniV alliance.
The underlying strategic concept has been further developed for the second phase. It shows how the region around Anklam can benefit from innovative technologies and value chains based on biogenic resources.
