History

Hy24 is an investment management company[3][4] created in 2021 by FiveT Hydrogen and Ardian.[5] The company was co-founded by Pierre-Étienne Franc.[6]

In December 2021, Hy24 raised 1.5 billion euros.[7][8]

In October 2022, Hy24 raised 2 billion euros[9][10] to finance the development of the hydrogen industry.[11][12]

The French company Hy24 has acquired stakes in several companies operating in the hydrogen sector,[13] including HysetCo (urban mobility),[14] Elyse Energy (sustainable fuels for aviation and shipping),[15][16] and the Spanish firms Enagas Renovable and H2Site.[17]

In 2023, Hy24 invested in InterContinental Energy, a Singapore-based renewable energy firm,[18] and also expanded into the Nordic region via its Danish partner, Everfuel.[19] In February 2023, Hy24 and its Danish partner Everfuel announced a total investment of 200 million euros in a joint venture to finance infrastructure in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.[20] In June 2023, Hy24 announced its plan to launch a second fund to scale-up hydrogen equipment manufacturing.[5] Later, in September, Swedish company Stegra (previously H2 Green Steel) raised 1.5 billion euros from several funds including Hy24.[21]
