Airbus has joined the world’s largest clean H₂ infrastructure investment fund, managed by Hy24 - a joint venture between Ardian, a world-leading private investment house and FiveTHydrogen, an investment manager specializing in clean H₂ investments.

Hy24’s investment fund will provide financial capital to back credible, large-scale green H₂ infrastructure projects world-wide. Airbus' involvement assures its commitment to the scaling up of a global H₂ economy, a prerequisite for the successful entry-into-service of its zero-emission commercial aircraft by 2035.

"Since 2020, Airbus has partnered with numerous airlines, airports, energy providers and industry partners to develop a stepped approach to global H₂ availability,” said Karine Guenan, VP ZEROe Ecosystem, Airbus. "Joining a fund of this magnitude demonstrates Airbus' continuously active role in infrastructure investments for the production, storage and distribution of clean H₂ worldwide."

"We are delighted that Airbus has joined the fund along with other key industrial and financial investors,” said Pierre-Etienne Franc, the CEO of Hy24. “Hy24 is well-positioned to identify and accelerate the development of clean-H₂ infrastructure companies to meet today's needs and ensure tomorrow’s transportation and logistics.”
