The clean energy company’s existing backers such as Gates Frontier, IRONGREY, Starlight Ventures, Valo Ventures and Metaplanet also made fresh investments.
Modern Hydrogen said that it will use the proceeds to scale-up the capacity of its hydrogen production units, fast-track decarbonisation of gas networks and support distributed production of hydrogen.
The money will also be used by the Bothell, Washington-based start-up to expand clean carbon material offerings and expand its international market presence through the partnership with Miura in Japan.
To create hydrogen, Modern Hydrogen is creating methane pyrolysis reactors that use natural gas from fossil fuels or biogas from sources like dung.
