据世界能源3月1日消息：绿色氢能投资平台Hy2gen在2月中旬完成了一轮2亿欧元(2.27亿美元)的投资，这是迄今为止最大的以绿色氢为重点的私人融资。由太阳能或风能电解制成的绿色或可再生氢气正吸引投资者和政府越来越多的兴趣，因为天然气价格上涨使得以天然气为基础的替代品更加昂贵。

这笔资金将用于在包括欧洲在内的几个国家建设生产绿色氢基燃料的设施，用于海上和地面交通、航空和工业应用。公司成立于2017年，专注于电解生产绿色氢及其衍生物，目前规划建设项目880MW，开发项目12GW。

该投资由Hy24、Mirova、CDPQ和战略投资者Technip Energies牵头。Hy24是全球最大的清洁氢基础设施平台，是私人投资公司Ardian和专注于氢的投资管理公司FiveT hydrogen的合资企业。此次融资10亿欧元，Hy24旨在启动战略性大型项目，以加速扩大氢市场规模。

在这笔交易中，野村Greentech担任了Hy2gen的独家财务顾问。Société Générale担任Hy24和Mirova的独家财务顾问。法律顾问包括代理Hy2gen的Baker Tilly，代理Hy24和Mirova的Bird&Bird，代理CDPQ的Jones Day，以及代理Technip energy的Clifford Chance。

从现在到2050年，对绿色氢及其衍生物的需求预计将增长十倍，在每年约5亿吨的总能源需求中占据相当大的份额。

Hy2gen Raises Record €200m Green Hydrogen Investment

Green hydrogen investment platform Hy2gen completed a €200m ($227m) investment round in mid-February – the largest private green hydrogen-focused capital raise to date. Green, or renewable, hydrogen made from solar or wind-powered electrolysis, is attracting increasing interest from investors and governments as rising gas prices make gas-based alternatives more expensive.

The capital will be used to construct facilities in several countries, including in Europe, that produce green hydrogen-based fuels – or “efuels” – for maritime and ground transport, aviation and industrial applications. Founded in 2017, Hy2gen specialises in electrolysis to make green hydrogen and its derivatives, and has 880MW of projects in planning and construction, and a further 12GW in development.

The investment was led by Hy24 with Mirova, CDPQ and strategic investor Technip Energies. Hy24, the world’s largest clean hydrogen infrastructure platform, is a joint venture between private investment house Ardian and hydrogen-focused investment manager FiveT Hydrogen. With €1bn raised, Hy24 is aimed at unlocking strategic and large-scale projects to accelerate the scaling up of hydrogen markets.

Nomura Greentech acted as exclusive financial adviser to Hy2gen on the deal. Société Générale acted as exclusive financial adviser to Hy24 and Mirova. Legal advisors included Baker Tilly acting for Hy2gen, Bird & Bird acting for Hy24 and Mirova, Jones Day acting for CDPQ, and Clifford Chance acting for Technip Energies.

Demand for green hydrogen and its derivatives is expected to grow tenfold between now and 2050, rising to a substantial share of total energy demand of some 500 million tonnes per year.
