AquaVentus welcomes WindSeeG amendment but calls for greater ambition

Combined connection concepts could save 56 to 59 billion euros in offshore grid costs. AquaVentus welcomes the amendment but calls for greater ambition: sector coupling must be opened up for all areas.

Green Hydrogen from the North Sea

AquaVentus unites stakeholders from industry, research and policy. Together we are building offshore hydrogen production: 10 GW of offshore capacity for around 1 million tonnes of green hydrogen a year.

AquaVentus Förderverein e.V., registered on Helgoland with its office in Berlin, connects the entire chain: offshore wind energy, electrolysis at sea, pipeline transport and industrial offtake. Five flagship projects put this into practice, among them the AquaDuctus hydrogen pipeline, part of the German hydrogen core network since October 2024.

Our Guiding Principles

Five goals drive us — from climate policy to economic value creation.

Our commitment to climate protection is unwavering. AquaVentus harnesses renewable energy to produce green hydrogen that releases no greenhouse gases. In doing so, we make a decisive contribution to achieving global climate targets and protecting our planet.
