StormFisher Hydrogen secures $30M from ARC Financial for e-fuel production facilities

TORONTO and HOUSTON — StormFisher Hydrogen, a low carbon fuel facility development company, has secured a $30 million investment from ARC Financial Corp. The funding will be used to develop an existing pipeline of projects in the United States and Canada.

Since its inception in 2006, StormFisher has been focusing on projects to produce low carbon fuels at scale. The recent successful sale of its organic waste-to-energy division has allowed StormFisher to focus on the production of renewable electricity derived fuels, also called e-fuels, that will meet the rapidly expanding demand for these products as industries evolve in their energy transition. StormFisher, now known as StormFisher Hydrogen, has been actively working on e-fuel facilities since 2018, building off its success in producing Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) at scale, and has now created a robust pipeline to deploy several billions of dollars in capital over the next 5-10 years for these facilities. The capital infusion from ARC Financial accelerates StormFisher Hydrogen’s developments that will produce electrolysis-based fuels including clean hydrogen, e-methane, e-methanol, and green ammonia.

StormFisher Hydrogen is developing several facilities capable of converting up to 300 megawatts (MW) of renewable electricity from wind and solar into e-fuels. These low carbon fuels will have the ability to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as natural gas utilities in North America as well as through the liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply chain, heavy industries such as refineries, ammonia production facilities, steel plants, glass, cement and other industries with large process and thermal loads, as well as the marine sector. Each StormFisher facility can produce enough e-methane to lower the carbon emissions from over 60,000 homes, or enough e-methanol to fuel a container ship transporting 350,000 cargo containers from Europe to the United States. To drive its expansion, StormFisher Hydrogen has re-enlisted three key executives from its past: Brandon Moffatt, EVP – Project Development and Execution; Chris Guillon, EVP – Commercial Operations and Finance; and Pearce Fallis, EVP – Project Origination and Development.

“We’re excited to bring our depth and expertise in low carbon fuel facility development to support global organizations seeking to reach net zero emissions,” said Jud Whiteside, CEO of StormFisher Hydrogen. “With this new funding, we now have the capital and partners to apply our years of experience building clean energy infrastructure to unlock the full decarbonization potential of e-fuels for organizations across the globe.”
