Everfuel’s ambition is to make green hydrogen for zero emission industrial activity and mobility commercially available across Europe. The Company is engaging with partners, customers and authorities across the entire value chain, from production to distribution and fuelling, when executing its long-term strategy for value creation as a leading European green hydrogen company.
In late September, Everfuel and Hy24 completed the JV agreement for investing EUR 200 million in developing green hydrogen infrastructure in the Nordics over the coming years with HySynergy phase 1 (HySynergy 1) as the first acquisition. The JV agreement provides a framework model to fund, build, own and operate up to 1 GW of green hydrogen projects and with revenue and cash flow to Everfuel through fees for project development, construction and operations.
In August, the Company announced a strategy realignment, prioritising the development of large-scale green hydrogen production capacity and focus on refuelling solutions for heavy duty trucks and buses. Since then, Everfuel has implemented the planned organisational restructuring and the decommissioning of legacy passenger car stations is progressing according to schedule. Additional initiatives will be implemented over the coming six months with the objective to reduce costs and investments by optimising the organisation and high-grading refuelling station and project portfolio.
The strategic realignment and related organisational adjustment are expected to enable Everfuel to execute current growth plans into 2025 before requiring additional equity as large-scale electrolyser projects are brought to final investment decision.
Jacob Krogsgaard, the CEO and founder of Everfuel, commented:
“We have full focus on completing HySynergy 1 and on the implementation of our realigned strategy, prioritising the development of large-scale electrolysers and profitable mobility solutions for the heavy-duty transport market, while at the same time reducing cash burn and adding financial flexibility. This is supported by the recent signing of Hy24 joint venture agreement which positions us to accelerate deployment of green hydrogen production to meet strong European demand growth driven by the urgent need to decarbonise energy and transport systems.”
