The fund is managed by Hy24, a clean hydrogen investment pureplay committed to scale up the global hydrogen economy. This is the second climate-related fund investment taken on by ABN AMRO Corporate Investments. It fits with the bank’s climate strategy as announced previously.

Through investments like these, ABN AMRO is making capital available to young, fast-growing companies that contribute to the transition to a sustainable economy. These companies do not yet qualify for credit lines and other banking products. Indeed, companies developing advanced technology solutions constitute important future clients for ABN AMRO.

We’re delighted to be part of the first closing of this unique fund. Hy24 operates at the very heart of the hydrogen ecosystem and has a large network in Europe, making it an attractive investment platform for ABN AMRO in the field of clean energy.

Floris Lyppens, Managing Director at ABN AMRO Corporate Investments

Scaling up the supply capacity of hydrogen technologies is a challenge Hy24 aims to address, alongside infrastructure deployment. We are delighted that ABN AMRO is joining our Equipment Fund. Together, we are shaping the future of the clean hydrogen value chain, towards sustainable investment and energy transition.

Climate strategy

This investment fits with the climate strategy ABN AMRO announced at the end of 2022. This climate strategy is a key step to help accelerate momentum and drive the transition to a net zero economy by 2050. ABN AMRO is investing a total of €1 billion in early-stage capital across a range of direct investments, fund investments and hybrid capital. This is to finance the transition to a zero-carbon economy. In addition, this investment serves as a strong incentive in terms of knowledge and network for ABN AMRO’s existing hydrogen activities.
