HydrogenXT Secures Definitive $900 Million Term Sheet to Build First 10 Zero-Carbon Hydrogen Production & Dispensing Plants

HOUSTON /PRNewswire/ -- HydrogenXT, a leading innovator in zero-carbon fuel-grade blue hydrogen, today announced it has secured a definitive Term Sheet for $900 million in combined debt and equity financing with Kell Kapital Partners Limited (KKP) and its affiliated institutional backers. The funding will support the construction of HydrogenXT's first 10 production and dispensing facilities across California, Oregon, Washington, North Dakota, and key U.S. logistics corridors.

This commitment marks a significant milestone in HydrogenXT's mission to deploy 100 zero carbon-intensity, fuel-grade, clean blue-hydrogen plants across North America and an additional 200+ dispensing stations without relying on Federal Subsidies and scale to over 1,000 global locations, revolutionizing the availability of cost-equivalent, zero-emissions hydrogen fuel for heavy-duty transport, industrial power, and AI Factory infrastructure.

"This agreement is transformational," said Robert Wise, Founder, CEO & CTO of HydrogenXT. "KKP's backing validates our localized hydrogen production & dispensing model and accelerates our vision of delivering clean, affordable fuel and clean electricity at the scale the market urgently needs—from ports and logistics hubs to transit fleets, autonomous networks and advanced data centers."

The capital structure includes a blend of senior debt and strategic equity participation, designed to fund the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of HydrogenXT's first 10 localized-scale SMR zero carbon-intensity, fuel-grade blue hydrogen production hubs equipped with on-site compression, storage, and dispensing (CSD) capabilities along with the ability to produce clean electricity for AI Factories, Data Centers, Distribution Hubs and Power Grid Augmentation.

"Our investment in HydrogenXT is driven by the company's proven technology, executable rollout strategy, and ability to scale profitably in one of the fastest-growing sectors of the clean energy economy," said Peter Kell, CEO of Kell Kapital Partners Limited. "We see HydrogenXT as a cornerstone partner in building the next-generation hydrogen infrastructure across North America and globally."

HydrogenXT's flagship project in Avenal, California—prepared and ready for construction—is expected to break ground this fall. Additional locations are planned across major zero-emission corridors, including, Blythe, Otay Mesa, El Centro, Victorville, West Sacramento, Yreka, Eugene, OR, Chehalis, WA, and Bismark, ND.

HydrogenXT's proprietary platform integrates:

• Proven local-scale SMR technology with 100% carbon capture
