The AquaVentus association is pursuing a visionary project: Up to 1 million metric tons of green hydrogen are to be produced in the North Sea from 2035. The initiative is supported by highly innovative organisations and research institutions as well as national and international companies.

Within an energy transition context, compliance with and assurance of sustainable new energy production, storage and distribution is a particular challenge. Bureau Veritas is a key player in the energy transition, present at main stages of the renewable and alternative energy production chain. The AquaVentus-membership is in line with Bureau Veritas’ commitment to provide services and solutions dedicated to sustainability, notably in resources and production, through the BV Green Line. By developing comprehensive expertise across the hydrogen value chain, Bureau Veritas is ready to support the decarbonization of all sectors of the economy for the benefit of people and the planet.

The project family around the AquaVentus initiative includes numerous projects along the value chain – from the production of hydrogen in the North Sea to its transport to customers on the mainland. These coordinated consortia synchronise demand and production and thus enable a rapid market ramp-up. Currently, the AquaVentus Support Association has 92 members.
