French start-up Mantle8 has secured €3.4 million in seed funding from Kiko Ventures and Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Ventures Europe (BEV-E). This investment will enable Mantle8 to advance its pioneering technology aimed at identifying and quantifying white hydrogen reserves.
Mantle8 founder, Emmanuel Masini emphasises the transformative potential of their methodology, stating, “Our science-first approach represents a paradigm shift in hydrogen exploration. It makes hydrogen discovery more scalable, accurate, faster and profitable.”
The further investment from Breakthrough into white hydrogen exploration reinforces the potential for large-scale commercialisation. It signals the growing confidence from major investors in natural hydrogen as a game-changing energy source.
It is great to see further investment into this sector as the world wakes to the growing potential of white hydrogen.
