AquaVentus: Prosperity, added value and jobs for Germany and Europe

The energy transition is not only a step towards a sustainable future, but also a driver of economic prosperity. The AquaVentus initiative shows how the production and use of green hydrogen creates new value chains, secures jobs and expands Europe’s economic strength.

At a glance

EU hydrogen market with up to 800 billion Euros added value and 1 million new jobs by 2050

Renewable energies as a job engine: Over 400,000 empolyees in Germany alone 

Investments in renewable hydrogen could amount to up to 470 billion Euros in Europe by 2050

Potential of over 150 billion Euros investment in the German hydrogen economy alone by 2045

Production of electrolysers and PtX systems can generate up to 36 billion in added value in Germany every year 

 

Value creation through innovation and production

AquaVentus brings state-of-the-art technologies and pioneering projects into practice. From offshore wind energy and hydrogen production to the construction of pipelines, new opportunities are emerging for companies and regions along the entire value chain:

  • Strengthening industrial locations: The construction and operation of offshore wind farms, electrolysers and transportation infrastructure creates orders for the maritime industry, mechanical engineering and energy technology.
  • Promoting the regional economy: Ports, shipyards and suppliers benefit from the demand for specialized services and products.
  • Promoting European independence: The production of green hydrogen in Europe reduces dependence on energy imports and strengthens the competitiveness of the European economy.

New jobs for a green future 

The energy transition is an opportunity to create thousands of new jobs in future-oriented sectors. AquaVentus is helping to promote employment in numerous areas:  

  • Direct jobs: In the planning, construction and operation of offshore wind farms, hydrogen plants and infrastructure projects. 
  • Indirect jobs: In supplier industries such as steel construction, electrical engineering and logistics. 
  • Qualified specialists: AquaVentus focuses on the further training and retraining of skilled workers in order to meet the requirements of the hydrogen economy. 

Reconciling prosperity and sustainability 

The AquaVentus initiative shows that climate protection and economic growth can go hand in hand. The development of a sustainable hydrogen economy not only secures existing jobs, but also opens up new markets that will create long-term prosperity for Europe.  

A win for everyone 

AquaVentus is more than just an energy transition project – it is a driver of innovation that combines ecological change with economic success. Together, we are laying the foundations for a sustainable future that creates jobs, promotes value creation and positions Europe as a pioneer for green technologies.
