Canada's biggest pension fund, CPP Investments, has made its first bet on green hydrogen playing a growing role in cutting emissions, with a 130 million euro ($143 million) investment and the purchase of a majority stake in a three-year-old Dutch firm.
CPPI's investment is mostly in the form of capital that Amsterdam-based Power2X can use to develop new projects in Europe that seek to decarbonise hard-to-abate industrial assets by adopting green hydrogen.
Green hydrogen backers, including governments, hope using renewable power to split water molecules can cut pollution by replacing- or its derivatives methanol and ammonia - relied on by industries including refining, heavy transport, steel and fertilisers. Investor interest in Europe for tackling fossil fuel demand rather than just supply is growing, aided by the EU's, which has pledged subsidies and faster permits to ensure the region keeps pace in the green tech race.
Power2X's current projects include a green hydrogen and ammonia development in Portugal and a solar power and green hydrogen project in Spain.
