The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and hydrogen project developer Power2X are forming a long-term investment partnership aimed at advancing Power2X’s role in the global clean energy transition.
The partnership plans to invest an initial €130 million to accelerate the growth of Netherlands-based Power2X as a development platform and fund green molecule projects. The investment supports the company’s mission to become a long-term developer, owner and operator of next-generation energy assets with a focus on green hydrogen and other clean molecules such as green methanol and ammonia, according to a press release.
