Why it matters for the planet: Green hydrogen is considered by many as crucial for the rapid decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors, and this funding round is a significant vote of confidence in hydrogen production's future. 

• It will help Ohmium expand its manufacturing capabilities to 2GW per annum and deploy projects in the U.S., Europe, India, and the Middle East.

What’s next: The market will be watching how green hydrogen companies accelerate their plans for large-scale production facilities. 

• The success of these facilities will be critical in demonstrating the viability of green hydrogen as a cost-effective and scalable alternative to fossil fuels.
