據(jù)全球能源新聞網(wǎng)12月28日報道,氫能生產(chǎn)商綠色氫系統(tǒng)公司Green Hydrogen Systems(GHS)已獲得總計約2800萬歐元的投資,以使其能夠滿足對電解槽容量的加速需求。不斷擴大的規(guī)模意味著投資于更大的設(shè)施和更大的組織,在公司的整個價值鏈上增加資源和競爭力,即研發(fā),銷售,制造,以及裝配,調(diào)試和售后服務。
這些資金將來自丹麥A.P.穆勒控股公司(A.P. M?ller Holding A/S),該公司將以2000萬歐元的可轉(zhuǎn)換貸款形式投資GHS,而北歐Alpha Partners是GHS的主要股東,同意投資700萬歐元的一個額外應用程序。最后,目前的股東Norlys Holding公司追投100萬歐元。
GHS首席執(zhí)行官Sebastian Koks Andreassen表示,在工業(yè)需求和未來幾年大幅增加氫裝機發(fā)電量的政治決定的支持下,綠色氫市場呈現(xiàn)出前所未有的勢頭。額外的資金使我們能夠擴大現(xiàn)有的生產(chǎn)設(shè)施,以滿足激增的需求。A.P.穆勒控股公司的投資是對我們公司以及我們正在研究的巨大市場潛力的信任票。
作為投資協(xié)議的一部分,A.P.穆勒控股公司將有權(quán)任命一名成員進入GHS董事會。
A.P.穆勒控股公司首席信息官Jan T. Nielsen表示,我們認為氫是未來工業(yè)、航運和重型運輸綠色能源組合的重要組成部分。GHS擁有一個基于綠色能源的電解制氫方面令人信服的技術(shù)平臺,我們很高興能夠支持他們進一步開發(fā)這個平臺。
歐盟最近宣布了一項雄心勃勃的氫能源戰(zhàn)略,目標是到2024年達到6吉瓦裝機發(fā)電量,到2030年達到40吉瓦,而當前裝機發(fā)電量約為300兆瓦。 除此之外,德國,荷蘭,法國,葡萄牙和挪威還制定了雄心勃勃的綠色氫生產(chǎn)國家戰(zhàn)略。
北歐阿爾法合作伙伴(Nordic Alpha Partners)的合作伙伴Troels?berg表示,GHS非常適合成為這一快速增長的綠色氫市場的領(lǐng)先供應商.其需要大量投資才能充分發(fā)揮潛力,因此,GHS的IPO可能是融資之旅的下一步。到目前為止,我們非常高興地看到A.P.穆勒控股公司作為一個合格且信譽良好的投資者決定成為將GHS提升到下一個水平的關(guān)鍵合作伙伴。
GHS正在丹麥與領(lǐng)先的風能公司合作開展風制氫項目,并希望其產(chǎn)品在脫碳能源系統(tǒng)中發(fā)揮關(guān)鍵作用。

A.P. MOLLER INVESTS IN GREEN HYDROGEN SYSTEMS
Green Hydrogen Systems have obtained investments for a total of approx. EUR 28 million to enable Green Hydrogen Systems to meet the accelerating demand for electrolyzer capacity. The ongoing scale-up implies investment in larger facilities and a larger organisation with added resources and competencies along the full value chain of the company, i.e. R&D, sales, manufacturing, and assembly, commissioning and after-sales service.
The funds will come from the Danish group A.P. M?ller Holding A/S who will invest in Green Hydrogen Systems in the form of a convertible loan of EUR 20 million and Nordic Alpha Partners, the major shareholder of Green Hydrogen Systems, who has agreed to invest an additional app. EUR 7 million and in the company. Finally, current shareholder Norlys Holding invests an additional EUR 1 million.
CEO Sebastian Koks Andreassen, Green Hydrogen Systems said: “There is an unprecedented momentum in the market for green hydrogen supported by industrial demand and political decisions to sharply increase installed hydrogen capacity in the coming years. The additional funds enable us to scale-up our existing production facilities to meet the surging demand. The investment from A. P. Moller Holding is a vote of confidence in our company and the incredible market potential we are looking into.”
As part of the agreement to invest, A. P. Moller Holding will have the right to appoint one member to the board of directors of Green Hydrogen Systems.
Jan T. Nielsen, CIO, A. P. Moller Holding said: “We see hydrogen as an important part of the future green energy mix for industry, shipping and heavy transport. Green Hydrogen Systems has a compelling technology platform for electrolytic hydrogen production based on green energy and we are excited to support them in developing this platform further.”
The EU recently announced an ambitious hydrogen strategy targeting 6 GW of installed capacity by 2024 and 40 GW by 2030 compared with the current around 300 MW installed hydrogen capacity today. In addition to this, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Portugal and Norway have established ambitious national strategies for green hydrogen production.
Troels ?berg, Partner at Nordic Alpha Partners said: “Green Hydrogen Systems is very well positioned to become a leading supplier in this fast-growing green hydrogen market. It requires significant investments to unfold the full potential, and therefore an IPO of Green Hydrogen Systems could be the next step on the funding journey. So far, we are very pleased that a qualified and reputable investor as A.P. Moller Holding has decided to become a key partner in taking Green Hydrogen Systems to the next level.”
Green Hydrogen Systems is pioneering wind-to-hydrogen projects in Denmark in cooperation with leading wind energy players and is expecting its products to play a key role in decarbonizing energy systems.
