Main content

Within the TOPSOIL project, the Luneplate in southern Bremerhaven has proven to be the most sensitive area of Bremerhaven regarding saltwater intrusion. In this nature protected area with an organic rich alluvial loam extensive farming takes place.

In the northern part an area of economic activities is located. This will be expanded with a green business park with a climate-neutral approach “Green Economy”. This presents the opportunity to join the challenges of climate change for both areas. The focus will be on water management and the use of excess rainwater (more intense rain events are predicted in the future) to prevent saltwater intrusion and the desiccation of the organic rich loam with the associated CO2 submission.
