Edinburgh-based H2 Green is being acquired in a phased £1 million cash-and-shares deal following a fundraising by its new owner, AIM-listed Getech.
The deal follows a £6m placing by Getech, which is headquartered in Leeds and provides technology for the management of energy assets and natural resources. Set up last year, H2 Green is focused on building large-scale hydrogen storage facilities as part of the UK’s transition to net zero.
H2 Green’s owners, chief executive Luke Johnson and chief operating officer Ian Spencer, will receive an initial £250,000 made up of £53,750 in cash and the remainder in Getech shares. Further payments will be triggered upon reaching various milestone targets.
In January, Getech, H2 Green and gas network operator SGN agreed exclusive strategic partnerships with the aim of creating green hydrogen hubs across SGN’s extensive land portfolio in Scotland and the south of England. An initial focus list of 30 potential locations has been agreed.
Getech provides data, knowledge and software products to the conventional energy industry, and is increasing its focus on the renewables sector. Its shares were placed at a price of 22p apiece.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
