At AP Ventures, we believe in our ability to unlock hydrogen’s role in the decarbonisation of energy through investing throughout the entire hydrogen value chain.
Hydrogen is a versatile, zero carbon emission, efficient energy carrier. The hydrogen value chain is a fast-growing sector with established applications in many industries. It is playing a pivotal part in the decarbonisation of energy, as well as providing opportunities for attractive financial return.
Across the globe we have witnessed a heightened awareness and demand for a cleaner environment, reduced CO₂ emissions and an acceleration towards a sustainable energy future. It is clear to us that there is a growing momentum for new hydrogen technologies in being able to facilitate this energy transition. We are seeing a surge in interest in these technologies from both corporate investors and governments worldwide.
We approach hydrogen from a deep understanding of electrochemical processes and catalysis, seeking out technologies that have a defensible advantage through materials used, their position in the supply chain and scale-up potential.
Building on our hydrogen expertise, AP Ventures is also investing in carbon capture and utilisation to decarbonise hard-to-abate industries and processes. We see the combination of green hydrogen and capture carbon as having the potential to decarbonise a broad range of industries, from aviation to steelmaking.
AP Ventures invests in technologies which advance the decarbonisation of industry and transportation with a focus on the hydrogen and carbon value chains. We provide capital to early-stage clean technology and deep technology companies which are developing solutions for hard-to-abate sectors including:
Key focus: Low-carbon hydrogen production and transport that makes end-use hydrogen competitive with traditional SMR grey hydrogen.
Examples of investments include:
Key focus: Technologies that enable the decarbonisation of shipping through alternative fuels, innovative powertrains and supply of core components.
Examples of investment interest include technologies that:
Key focus: Technologies that decarbonise steel production, cement and chemicals (e.g. fertilisers) using hydrogen or carbon capture
