On March 11, 2025, Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (“Advent” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) and Advent’s wholly owned Greek subsidiary, Advanced Energy Technologies S.A. have each signed the grant agreement for the Company’s monumental RHyno Project. The EU Innovation Fund grant will provide Advent with €34,534,318 in non-dilutive funding over the lifetime of the project, with funding to be received incrementally contingent upon completion of certain performance milestones.
The Advent Renewable Hydrogen Innovative Technologies (“RHyno”) project involves the establishment of infrastructure for developing innovative fuel cells, electrolysers, and their key components including Advent’s ground-breaking Membrane Electrode Assembly technology at a megawatt (MW) scale. RHyno aims to pioneer the use of innovative materials to enhance power density and lifespan while significantly reducing the weight and volume of power systems through a streamlined balance of plant.
The state-of-the-art facility is designed to optimize production processes, boost efficiency, and industrialize fuel cell and electrolyser technologies. These advancements are essential for decarbonizing carbon intense industries, such as the aviation, maritime and heavy-duty automotive sectors, which Advent believes will hold further potential for spillover to other sectors.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information furnished under this Item 8.01, including the press release attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
