Nantes (France), 23 July 2025 - 7:30 am - Lhyfe (EURONEXT: LHYFE), one of the world pioneers in the production of green and renewable hydrogen for the decarbonisation of mobility and industry, announces the successful completion of his first crowdfunding campaign on the Lita.co platform.

The campaign, launched in May, made it possible for the general public to invest in four of Lhyfe's sites in France and Germany. This is a first for Lhyfe, but also for the renewable green hydrogen production sector, responding to the growing popularity among the general public of this accessible format for investing and taking action. The initiative aimed at promoting a collective effort with respect to the energy transition.

Nearly 1,200 people took part in the fundraising campaign, investing amounts ranging from €300 to €75,000, for a total of €2.5m raised through bonds. The average amount raised in Lita fundraising campaigns is typically around €0.5m, with an average of around 320 investors – these indicators were exceeded by Lhyfe, reflecting the success of this crowdfunding operation.

This funding by the general public, through the emerging model of crowdfunding, comes in addition to the €53m project financing agreement signed in April 2025 with financial partners and also covering these four sites.

Matthieu Guesné, founder and CEO of Lhyfe: "We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all those who took part in this initiative. Every day, our 200 employees work to decarbonise our society and to ensure the energy sovereignty and re-industrialisation of our regions. In doing this, we are creating jobs and business – we are delighted to involve the general public in this dynamic. We believe that it is important for citizens to have the opportunity to become involved in the development of this new, clean energy source, produced in the local area, for the local area. Together, we are laying the foundations for a more sustainable society. Thank you for your commitment!"
