Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
People around the world are changing their day-to-day lifestyles to reduce their carbon footprint, from using electric cars and carpooling to reducing their meat intake. Whilst these actions certainly help, lasting change will only come from innovating hard-to-decarbonize industries, a problem that must be solved directly at the source, with where these industries access their energy.
Hgen provides green hydrogen for hard-to-decarbonize industries, focussing on helping to decarbonize the estimated 25% of total global emissions that are best addressed with green hydrogen. Through its engineering solutions, the company claims to enable cheap and abundant green energy, making the switch affordable and sustainable for large businesses and organizations.
Whilst many companies are already migrating to green energy through other startups, Hgen recognizes that the real change needs to take place within the hardest-to-decarbonize industries. By facilitating green hydrogen within these sectors, the company aims to drive the mass reduction of global carbon footprints. A 2022 funding round will facilitate the expansion of its operations towards widening the company's impact into the future.
