AquaVentus Offshore Wind-to-hydrogen Initiative Is Growing Faster and Faster |
Eight new members have strengthened the AquaVentus team since the beginning of February – including an offshore pioneer and a hydrogen newcomer.
- The Green Hydrogen Initiative now includes 40 internationally leading companies, organizations and research institutions – and the trend is rising.
- The visionary goal is to be implemented with combined expert knowledge: one million tons of green hydrogen per year, generated from offshore wind energy, transported to land via a pipeline.
Helgoland / Berlin –The know-how along the entire hydrogen value chain continues to grow strongly at AquaVentus. It wasn’t until January that five new partners joined. Since then, eight other companies have joined the initiative. The now 40-member consortium has set itself the goal of installing ten gigawatts of electrolysis power from offshore wind energy in the North Sea by 2035. With the offshore wind power, green hydrogen is to be generated on the high seas and then brought to land via a pipeline. The new members combine many years of expertise in the core area of ??hydrogen, in the fields of economic development, offshore energy generation, pipeline maintenance as well as port logistics and transport.
Strong H2 competence and economic development
In the area of ??hydrogen generation, transport, storage and distribution, the AquaVentus team will in future be supported by the traditional company and H2 pioneer Linde. The company with its German headquarters in the Munich area is one of the world’s largest gas producers and operates an H2 pipeline network around 1,000 kilometers long. Linde is leading the transition to green hydrogen and has one of the most modern electrolysis technologies in its joint venture ITM Linde Electrolysis GmbH.
Industry newcomer Hynamics also promises strong hydrogen competence. The subsidiary of the French energy supplier EDF, which was founded in 2019 as part of the “West Coast 100” H2 real-world laboratory, focuses entirely on projects for green hydrogen in Germany. The company would also like to contribute its expertise in electrolyser operation to AquaVentus.
The development company Brunsbüttel (egeb) has set itself the goal of advancing the region around the northern mouth of the Elbe. It promotes entrepreneurial commitment in the districts of Dithmarschen and Steinburg through advice and mediation as well as funding and has many years of experience in the location management of Schleswig-Holstein’s largest industrial area – the ChemCoast Park Brunsbüttel.
