HYDGEN Raises SGD 2 Million to Drive Green Hydrogen Innovation
Singapore, Monday, 17 February 2025.
HYDGEN’s SGD 2 million seed funding boosts green hydrogen tech in Asia, changing the game for sustainable industries. It’s a spark of innovation in an energy-hungry world.
A Significant Step Forward
I’m excited to share how HYDGEN is revolutionizing the green hydrogen landscape. The company has successfully secured SGD 2 million in seed funding, with Cloudberry Pioneer Investments leading the charge [1]. This investment comes at a crucial time when the global hydrogen market stands at $262 billion [1], showing the massive potential for growth in this sector.
Innovative Technology at the Core
What makes HYDGEN’s approach unique is their use of Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyzers [1]. As someone who closely follows clean energy developments, I can tell you this technology offers significant advantages over traditional methods, delivering higher efficiency and more operational flexibility [1]. The green hydrogen market itself is projected to grow from $14 billion to 29 billion by 2030 [1], highlighting the tremendous growth potential in this sector.
Ambitious Expansion Plans
HYDGEN isn’t just dreaming small - they’re planning something remarkable. The company is set to develop a 2 MW manufacturing facility in India and create a 25 kW single-stack AEM electrolyzer [1]. As Michael Gryseels, HYDGEN’s Chairman, aptly puts it: ‘Our technology makes hydrogen production local, cost-effective, and scalable - empowering industries to take control of their energy needs’ [1].
Regional Impact and Future Prospects
The timing of this funding couldn’t be better. Just looking at recent developments in Asia, major players like SK Group are also expanding their hydrogen energy initiatives [6], indicating a growing regional focus on green hydrogen solutions. HYDGEN’s breakthrough is particularly significant for rapidly growing markets in Asia [1], where sustainable energy solutions are increasingly crucial.
