HydroGen Corporation (HYDG.OB), a company that designs and manufactures multi-megawatt air-cooled phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) systems, announced it signed definitive agreements for a private placement of its securities for gross proceeds of $25,775,000.
Dr. Leo Blomen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HydroGen Corporation, said, “Proceeds from this financing will be used to accelerate and expand our commercial demonstration and advanced manufacturing activities, as we execute our strategies for market introduction and for significant fuel cell module cost reductions. We thank our investors for their interest in the company and Piper Jaffray for their exceptional work in conducting this financing.”
