Mukran-Port: New system for environmentally friendly organic resources is created!

The Mukran port on the island of Rügen is faced with a significant change: the Finnish company Outokumpu, a leading provider of sustainable stainless steel, has announced that it will build an innovative system for the production of biocole in the port in the coming years. This investment of around 40 million euros is expected to create up to 25 qualified jobs. According to nd -aktuell This is a milestone in sustainable steel production, since this technology is about 50 percent of the direct emissions of outocumpu by using biocococ. can.

The biochabnic fabric is made from waste wood, which is transported by train to the island and processed in an existing production facility. The final processing then takes place in a new system in Finland, where the granulate is processed into biokoks pellets. According to MUKRAN Port offers strengthening the variety of logistics and the multimodal transport chains for the Region. Fridjof Ostenberg, Managing Director of Mukran Ports, emphasizes the attractiveness of the location for companies that rely on sustainable technologies.

climate effects and regional energy supply

Outocumpus approach is not only dedicated to sustainability, but also the regional energy transition. In addition to the organic resources, waste heat and other by -products from the production process are to be fed into the district heating process of Rügen, which Mayor Leon Krärche sees as an important contribution to ecological energy supply. He also sees this project an opportunity for stable energy prices in Sassnitz, which could further increase the economic attractiveness of the region.
