-FirstElement Fuel, la mayor red de abastecimiento de hidrógeno del mundo, cierra una ronda de serie D de 105 millones de dólares

Los fondos aportados por Air Water, MUFG, Nikkiso y Japan Infrastructure Initiative ayudarán a la empresa a ampliar su red de hidrógeno True Zero de California de 31 estaciones a 80 para 2024

IRVINE, Calif., 8 de noviembre de 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- FirstElement Fuel Inc., que comenzó como una empresa emergente californiana con la visión de establecer una red de repostaje de hidrógeno y ha crecido hasta convertirse en el mayor minorista de hidrógeno del mundo, ha cerrado una ronda de financiación de serie D de 105 millones de dólares.  El capital procede de Air Water, MUFG Bank, Ltd. (MUFG), Nikkiso y Japan Infrastructure Initiate (JII) mientras FirstElement Fuel ejecuta activamente su plan para ampliar su red de hidrógeno en California de 31 estaciones True Zero a 80 estaciones para 2024.  Al menos 12 de las 80 estaciones podrán repostar camiones pesados, además de coches ligeros.

"Es muy alentador contar con socios como estos que comparten nuestra visión de lo que se puede lograr cuando construimos una red de estaciones de hidrógeno", dijo Joel Ewanick, fundador y consejero delegado de FirstElement Fuel Inc.  "Todo el equipo de FirstElement está muy agradecido por todo el apoyo financiero que estamos recibiendo para poder seguir construyendo nuestra visión de una red de hidrógeno que sirva a los coches y a los camiones pesados, así como ampliar de 31 estaciones a al menos 80 en los próximos años."

MUFG, Air Water, Nikkiso, y JII se unirán a Mitsui, Japan Bank for International Cooperation, y Air Liquide como inversores en FirstElement.  Además, FirstElement ha recibido más de 125 millones de dólares de financiación pública de la Comisión de Energía de California, South Coast AQMD y Bay Area AQMD.

FirstElement abrió su primera estación de hidrógeno en diciembre de 2015 y, desde entonces, la empresa ha liderado el desarrollo de estaciones en California, abriendo el mayor número de estaciones en el Estado, así como las estaciones de repostaje de mayor capacidad del mundo.  La financiación de la Serie D es la mayor ronda de capital privado recaudada por FirstElement Fuel hasta el momento, y se produjo poco después de que California Air Resources Board y California Energy Commission aplicaran políticas diseñadas para fomentar la inversión privada para desempeñar un papel más importante en el desarrollo de la infraestructura de repostaje de hidrógeno de California.

FirstElement es única en ofrecer la mayor red de estaciones de hidrógeno del mundo abastecidas por hidrógeno líquido en lugar de gaseoso.  La distribución y el almacenamiento de hidrógeno líquido son mucho más eficientes, lo que está ayudando a reducir el coste del hidrógeno en el surtidor en un 25%.

En sólo seis años, FirstElement Fuel ha suministrado suficiente hidrógeno a los coches eléctricos de pila de combustible para recorrer más de 170 millones de kilómetros sin emisiones, y ha evitado más de 110 millones de libras de CO2.  Esto es sólo el principio, ya que las 31 estaciones de FirstElement, todas ellas en California hasta ahora, han batido regularmente récords de un día y de siete días.
