Integrating Offshore Hydrogen into Europe’s Future Energy System: An Update from AquaVentus
AquaVentus is a pioneering initiative committed to unlocking the vast potential of offshore hydrogen production in the North Sea. As part of the wider European energy transition, the initiative brings together over 100 partners from industry, science, and politics with a shared vision: to scale offshore green hydrogen production system integrated and cost efficient in gigawatts.
This presentation will provide a current update on AquaVentus’ latest developments, focusing on the critical aspects of systems integration and infrastructure.
- The evolving concept of mixed infrastructure connections for offshore hydrogen transport
- The role of offshore electrolysis in system design and how it complements onshore solutions
- Ongoing regulatory and technical harmonization efforts across North Sea states
- Strategic partnerships and pilot projects demonstrating real-world integration of hydrogen into the energy value chain
