2021/1/4

据全球能源新闻网12月28日报道,氢能生产商绿色氢系统公司Green Hydrogen Systems(GHS)已获得总计约2800万欧元的投资,以使其能够满足对电解槽容量的加速需求。不断扩大的规模意味着投资于更大的设施和更大的组织,在公司的整个价值链上增加资源和竞争力,即研发,销售,制造,以及装配,调试和售后服务。


这些资金将来自丹麦A.P.穆勒控股公司(A.P. Møller Holding A/S),该公司将以2000万欧元的可转换贷款形式投资GHS,而北欧Alpha Partners是GHS的主要股东,同意投资700万欧元的一个额外应用程序。最后,目前的股东Norlys Holding公司追投100万欧元。


GHS首席执行官Sebastian Koks Andreassen表示,在工业需求和未来几年大幅增加氢装机发电量的政治决定的支持下,绿色氢市场呈现出前所未有的势头。额外的资金使我们能够扩大现有的生产设施,以满足激增的需求。A.P.穆勒控股公司的投资是对我们公司以及我们正在研究的巨大市场潜力的信任票。


作为投资协议的一部分,A.P.穆勒控股公司将有权任命一名成员进入GHS董事会。


A.P.穆勒控股公司首席信息官Jan T. Nielsen表示,我们认为氢是未来工业、航运和重型运输绿色能源组合的重要组成部分。GHS拥有一个基于绿色能源的电解制氢方面令人信服的技术平台,我们很高兴能够支持他们进一步开发这个平台。


欧盟最近宣布了一项雄心勃勃的氢能源战略,目标是到2024年达到6吉瓦装机发电量,到2030年达到40吉瓦,而当前装机发电量约为300兆瓦。 除此之外,德国,荷兰,法国,葡萄牙和挪威还制定了雄心勃勃的绿色氢生产国家战略。


北欧阿尔法合作伙伴(Nordic Alpha Partners)的合作伙伴TroelsØberg表示,GHS非常适合成为这一快速增长的绿色氢市场的领先供应商.其需要大量投资才能充分发挥潜力,因此,GHS的IPO可能是融资之旅的下一步。到目前为止,我们非常高兴地看到A.P.穆勒控股公司作为一个合格且信誉良好的投资者决定成为将GHS提升到下一个水平的关键合作伙伴。


GHS正在丹麦与领先的风能公司合作开展风制氢项目,并希望其产品在脱碳能源系统中发挥关键作用。

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. Møller 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 Øberg, 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.
