Founded in 2018, Genevos has evolved into an industry leading fuel cell integrator. This initial seed round will support product commercialization in key maritime markets such as workboats and service vessels, unmanned surface vessels, and ferries.
As an enabler of maritime hydrogen fuel cell power, Genevos has achieved several accolades notably, Lloyd's Register Approval in Principle certification across the Hydrogen Power Module marine fuel cell range, in addition to validation of the complete hydrogen energy system installation on board the IMOCA 'OceansLab – Cleantech Accelerator'.
Impact Ocean Capital, a fund launched in 2023 with the objective to protect the world's oceans, is managed by GO Capital. This investment supports the transformation of the maritime sector where new emissions regulations require major changes in vessel propulsion.
Genevos accelerates the clean energy transition by making accessible an end-to-end solution for achieving zero emissions transportation. This Complete H2-Pack includes engineering services and award-winning drop-in marine fuel cell power modules.
“Controlling climate change is reliant on powerful collaborations based on action-oriented environmental missions. I am honored to welcome on board Impact Ocean Capital to our journey and know that together we will achieve a strong positive global impact, commented Genevos Co-Founder and CEO, Rebecca Sharp.
The climate emergency and the rapid degradation of marine ecosystems requires a firm response from industry players and public authorities to protect and guarantee the health of our oceans.
