HYDGEN Raises $5M for Green Hydrogen Production Expansion
Imagine a company called HYDGEN that makes a special machine to create clean energy called green hydrogen.
They just got $5 million to make their machines better and sell them in more places.
Their machine uses a special method called AEM electrolyzers, which is like a super-efficient way to split water into hydrogen.
This new funding will help HYDGEN produce hydrogen in a cost-effective way, so factories can make their own clean fuel.
This will reduce shipping costs and make the supply of hydrogen more reliable.
They are expanding to Japan, Europe and the Middle East to further help industries that are already using hydrogen.
HYDGEN, a start-up, secured $5 million in funding.
The funding round was led by Transition VC.
The company develops AEM electrolyzers for green hydrogen.
Funding will upgrade the production facility and expand market reach.
HYDGEN's technology enables on-site hydrogen generation.

Manipaddy Krishna Kumar
Co-Founder and COO of HYDGEN
“Many discussions about hydrogen focus on its role in a clean energy future, but the urgent opportunity is enabling industries to have hydrogen where and when they need it, with purity they can trust. Our AEM electrolyzers allow companies to produce hydrogen on-site at a competitive cost, solving supply chain challenges today while preparing them for the broader transition to green hydrogen in the years ahead.”
