Cost-Efficient Energy Transition for Stable Energy Prices
AquaVentus shows: sustainable energy and economic viability are not mutually exclusive.
The energy transition is not only an ecological but also an economic goal. With AquaVentus we lay the foundation for a cost-efficient transformation of our energy system, guaranteeing stable and affordable energy prices in the long term.

— stored as hydrogen instead of wasted, this energy regains its value
Combined connections increase revenue potential and reduce price risk through flexible revenue streams
Cost Efficiency through Offshore Wind and Green Hydrogen
Offshore wind energy is one of the most economical renewable energy sources. The constant winds on the high seas enable high utilisation of installations, reducing the cost per kilowatt-hour generated. By directly converting wind power into green hydrogen, this energy becomes flexibly usable — for industry, transport and as an energy storage medium.
Why AquaVentus is particularly cost-efficient:
Transport Infrastructure
The AquaDuctus pipeline with combined connection concepts offers a cheaper alternative to pure subsea cables — faster to implement and with less environmental impact.
Economies of Scale through Offshore Hub
Through large-scale production of green hydrogen on the high seas, costs can be significantly reduced.
Technology Innovation
Through continuous research in line with AquaVentus's "three-step approach", we continuously advance more efficient production methods.
Stable Energy Prices for the Future
As we transition to green energy, we must reduce dependence on fossil fuels. With sector coupling through combined connection concepts of pipeline and subsea cable directly at sea, we ensure resilient energy prices:
- Flexibility through sector coupling: When electricity prices are high, power is produced. When prices are low or negative, hydrogen is produced cost-effectively. This creates stable energy prices.
- Predictability through local production: Offshore wind energy and hydrogen production in Europe strengthen security of supply and reduce import costs.
- Long-term investments: The infrastructure AquaVentus is building is designed for decades and creates a stable foundation for future energy supply.
AquaVentus: Investment in a Sustainable Future
The energy transition is a major challenge — but it must remain affordable for businesses and consumers. AquaVentus shows that sustainable energy does not have to be expensive. On the contrary: combined connection concepts can save over €30 billion.
