McDermott joins German North Sea green hydrogen consortium

McDermott has joined AquaVentus, a growing consortium of more than 70 companies, organisations, and research institutions collaborating towards green hydrogen energy production in the North Sea.

AquaVentus aims to develop ten gigawatts of generation capacity for green hydrogen from offshore wind turbines in the North Sea by 2035. The expectation is that the wind power generated will be used to produce up to one million tons of production capacity of green hydrogen, which will be used to decarbonise Heligoland and transported to land via pipeline.

McDermott brings comprehensive engineering, procurement, construction and installation experience in the onshore, offshore, subsea and storage markets, from concept to completion.

Tareq Kawash, McDermott’s senior vice president, Europe, Middle East, Africa, said: “The German North Sea offshore wind sector will be instrumental to meeting the renewable energy demand for the Northern European industry and other markets.

“AquaVentus’ network of members, collaborating across the supply chain, is the type of collaboration needed to make green hydrogen a commercially viable energy resource of the future.”
