About
AquaDuctus is a private headquartered in Kassel, Germany specializing in Hydrogen.
AquaDuctus is a GW-scale offshore hydrogen pipeline located in the German North Sea, developed as part of the AquaVentus initiative. The project is designed as a backbone infrastructure providing open, non-discriminatory access to multiple network users. Phase 1 (2026-2030) will establish approximately 200 km of offshore pipeline and 100 km of onshore pipeline connecting the SEN-1 hydrogen wind farm to German and European hydrogen networks. Phase 2 will extend the offshore pipeline across the entire German exclusive economic zone to connect additional offshore hydrogen production sites. The pipeline enables interconnection with adjacent hydrogen infrastructures from Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, and the United Kingdom, forming a core element of Europe's integrated offshore hydrogen transport network. AquaDuctus has been designated as an Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) and received European Commission approval under the IPCEI hydrogen framework. The project is jointly developed by transmission system operators GASCADE and Fluxys, with technical feasibility and regulatory framework confirmed through comprehensive studies.
