Our core competence is gas transport by pipeline.
At the same time, we see great potential in hydrogen. It’s a new environment for us. I am on the board of AquaVentusbecause it is exciting to use our knowledge in projects like AquaDuctus to contribute, to exchange and to learn from other partners in the project and association – that’s why this engagement is so valuable.

“I am on the board of AquaVentus because the sea and wind have been of special importance to us Helgolanders for centuries. They form the basis of our island life and are now also becoming more and more important worldwide in terms of energy supply and climate protection. With AquaVentus, we can succeed in carrying the spark created on the island of Helgoland into the world to harness the unlimited power of the sun, wind and sea to enable future generations to live on this planet.”
