London, United Kingdom, 19 April 2021: AP Ventures today announces that Pavilion Capital has become a Limited Partner in AP Ventures Fund II.
AP Ventures’ partners have been investing throughout the hydrogen value chain since 2013, seeking companies which are developing technologies capable of sustainably solving global challenges such as renewable energy integration and resource scarcity. A key area of focus remains decarbonisation of transport, including shipping, and heavy industry. Through fuel cells, green hydrogen enables zero emission mobility while the use of hydrogen for heat can decarbonise industries such as steel and cement manufacturing currently reliant on hydrocarbon fuels.

Hydrogen has a strategic importance for Singapore, a major maritime port and aviation hub. Green hydrogen has the potential to decarbonise the hard-to-abate maritime and aviation sectors.

The speed of growth and development within the hydrogen economy continues to gather momentum and we are proud to work with Pavilion Capital by providing access to this sector.”
