On 1st October 2021, Ardian, a global leader in the private investment space, and FiveT Hydrogen, an investment platform focused on Green Hydrogen infrastructure projects announced the creation of Hy24, their new investment management company. Starting in 2022, Hy24 will manage the world's largest fund specialised in Green Hydrogen infrastructure.

The fund, named “Clean H2 Infra Fund SLP”, will be managed as an impact fund with the goal of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, in accordance with article 9 of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). It will invest some €1.5 billion in strategic hydrogen projects in line with the energy transition goals. These investments will enable the development of upstream projects such as hydrogen production infrastructure, and downstream projects such as captive vehicle fleets and hydrogen distribution stations.
