We are delighted to see Brookfield Asset Management’s investment of up to USD 1.1 bn in AP Ventures portfolio company Infinium’s projects and Series-C fundraise. This investment will support Infinium’s Project Roadrunner under development in West Texas, as well as other eFuels projects globally. The scale-up of Infinium’s ultra-low carbon fuels, including eSAF, eDiesel and eNaptha has the potential to decarbonise transportation and key infrastructure, including planes, ships, trucks and manufacturing processes. We are pleased with Infinium’s progress since leading the initial investment in 2020 and look forward to seeing these projects develop! #efuels #technology #venture https://lnkd.in/edvpq6tN

“With many energy majors headquartered in Houston, cleantech startups have unparalleled opportunities to launch and scale their businesses alongside established industry leaders who understand the complexities of large-scale energy solutions.” Ahead of the inaugural Houston Energy and Climate Startup Week, the AP Ventures team sat with Roslynn Velasquez and Matthew Peña from the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship to discuss what makes Texas a great place to start and grow a cleantech venture, as well as the support given by the Rice Alliance. We also spoke with AP Ventures’ portfolio company Amogy on why it chose Texas to build its ammonia-to-power clean energy technology there. As a sponsor of the Rice Alliance, AP Ventures is proud to be involved in building this ecosystem and supporting the future of cleantech in the US.

We are delighted to see Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies receive a EUR 72.5 m grant for its Blue Danube Project, which will build the first industrial-size LOHC hub in Southern Bavaria by 2028. The project will release 1,800 tons of green hydrogen per year to supply industrial off-takers in the Danube region. AP Ventures believes that the transportation of green hydrogen is a critical part of the future hydrogen economy, and the scale-up of Hydrogenious’ LOHC technology is a positive step in this journey. #hydrogen #energytransition #technology #venture #environment
“Today marks the start of a truly pioneering project in the field of liquid organic hydrogen carriers, which will pilot LOHC-based hydrogen infrastructure on a large scale in order to supply regions that are not connected to the hydrogen core network“, said German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Robert Habeck today while handing over the funding grant over 72,5 Mio € for our IPCEI Green Hydrogen @ Blue Danube in person. It was an honor to welcome Minister Habeck, Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger and Bavarian Minister for Federal Affairs Florian Herrmann at our headquarters today. Receiving this funding grant personally from the ministers will boost the project itself tremendously and signifies a huge milestone on our way to implementing our LOHC technology on a large scale! 💪 Minister Aiwanger emphasized: “Anyone who seriously wants to advance the hydrogen economy must keep the entire value chain in mind. Hydrogenious addresses the safe and efficient transport of hydrogen with their project. Green Hydrogen @ Blue Danube is a forward-looking project that we are happy to support from Bavaria with 21.8 Mio €.” In our project Green Hydrogen @ Blue Danube, we are building the first industrial-size LOHC hub in Southern Bavaria by 2028 to release up to 1,800 tons of green hydrogen per year to supply industrial off-takers in the Danube region and for possible pipeline injection. Today, we showed our guests the development work we are currently doing in our small-scale plants in preparation for the project's industrial-scale plants. They also experienced the safety, efficiency and ease of handling hydrogen via our LOHC benzyltoluene (LOHC-BT) themselves by visiting our tanker truck and carrying around samples of LOHC-BT. Many thanks to all visitors, including Erlangen's mayor Florian Janik, members of parliament Martina Stamm-Fibich and Christian Zwanziger, BMWK’s head of hydrogen market ramp-up Silke Stahl, StMWi’s dep. head of energy technology Lorenz Viernstein and Zentrum Wasserstoff.Bayern (H2.B)'s Dr. Fabian Pfaffenberger. We appreciate the personal visit of the ministers very much. As our CEO and founder Daniel Teichmann said: „We have been looking forward to this day for many years and are delighted to be able to start implementing the project now. Before we start “digging”, we would like to thank Minister Habeck as well as Ministers Aiwanger and Herrmann, who have all supported us in order to make the receipt of the grant possible today.“ © Fotos: Hydrogenious LOHC / Daniel Karmann Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Landesentwicklung und Energie Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz

We are pleased to see the partnership between AP Ventures portfolio company Infinium and Borealis. Infinium’s pioneering eNaptha, produced using emissions that would have otherwise been released into the atmosphere, will be used by Borealis’ facility in Finland to produce low-carbon emissions polyolefins. These plastics are used in everyday products from packaging to medical devices, and offer a more sustainable alternative while maintaining performance and recyclability ♻ We are delighted to see the wide-ranging impact that Infinium’s products can have, from sustainable fuels to low-carbon plastics. #energytransition #sustanability #environment #technology #efuels Check out the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/g6VCSDUN

Last month was AP Ventures’ six year anniversary - looking back on the last year, we are pleased with the progress made and excited for more to come! AP Ventures is growing, in the last year we have opened a San Francisco office and recruited new team members into our London office. Our portfolio is growing too - we have also made investments in direct air capture company Airhive and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) developer Aether Fuels. We have seen plenty of milestones in our portfolio, with successful fundraises for Infinium, ZeroAvia, Immaterial and HPNow, among others. Our portfolio companies continue to gain recognition for their role in the energy transition through the CleanTech 100, the XPRIZE and the European Hydrogen Tech 25 List. The next year will see us continue to invest in innovative technology companies in the hydrogen and CCUS space, driving forward the decarbonisation of hard to abate sectors and we look forward to supporting our existing portfolio companies as they scale up! #venture #hydrogen #CCUS #decarbonisation
