Infra Dig – Hy24’s hydrogen drive

Big bets are being put on the future of hydrogen… not many of them are quite as ambitious as Hy24’s masterplan to drive investments into delivering the energy source of the future.

Pierre-Etienne Franc – chief executive of Hy24 and a founding force behind the Hydrogen Council – talks to IJGlobal editorial director Angus Leslie Melville about plans for the company and the fund it is creating.

Hy24 launched its equity vehicle – Clean H2 Infrastructure Fund – last October (2021) and looks set to hit final close next month at considerably more than its €1.8 billion hard cap, having already pulled in €1.6 billion with clearly some fresh announcements on the (very short) horizon.

In a far-ranging discussion that covers everything from LPs on the fund through to plans to deliver massive investments into the hydrogen space, Pierre-Etienne speaks candidly about the sector and its potential in the years to come.
