John Cockerill Hydrogen Secures €116M to Scale Pressurized Alkaline Electrolyzers for Green Hydrogen Expansion

John Cockerill Hydrogen just wrapped up a €116 million funding round, giving a serious boost to its mission of scaling up green hydrogen production using its cutting-edge pressurized alkaline electrolyzer technology. The June 2025 investment brought in a new partner, Fluxys, and saw continued backing from long-time supporters like SFPIM, Wallonie Entreprendre, SLB, and the joint venture Rely.

Next-gen electrolysis tech powering the clean energy transition

At the heart of John Cockerill’s approach is technology that uses renewable electricity to split water and produce hydrogen—a key step in clean energy solutions like industrial decarbonization. Their high-capacity electrolyzers can generate up to 1,000Nm³ of hydrogen every hour, making them a perfect fit for major green hydrogen and ammonia projects around the globe.

Fueling growth across Europe and beyond

This fresh injection of capital isn’t just about boosting production—it’s about scaling up at the right place and time. The money will go toward ramping up manufacturing facilities in both Belgium and France, making international deliveries more seamless—India is one example already on the radar—and strengthening Belgium’s role in the fast-developing European hydrogen corridor.

On track to build tomorrow’s hydrogen infrastructure

With nearly all the funding goals checked off, John Cockerill Hydrogen is in a strong position to speed up delivery of efficient and scalable hydrogen infrastructure. The company’s work is keyed directly to the EU’s long-term climate goals, and this latest milestone brings them one step closer to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
