AFRY Management Consulting conducted a study for the realization of 10 GW hydrogen production capacity including grid connection by 2035. The results of the study clearly outlined that the offshore electrolysis & pipeline transport variant is the most time-efficient, cost-effective and environmentally & permit-friendly system variant compared to:

• electricity transport by submarine power cables and onshore hydrogen production
• offshore hydrogen production and ship transport

The exploitation of these advantages represents a technical, ecological and economic opportunity to make urgently needed green hydrogen available in large quantities and with a secure supply.
