In California, Airbus Ventures announces its investment in Fourier as part of the company’s $18.5 million in Series A funding. With this latest funding, the company will begin scaling manufacturing, accelerating commercial deployments, and expanding its engineering efforts to integrate its systems into critical energy infrastructure. At the core of Fourier’s technology is an ultra-modular, software-defined system architecture that sets its hydrogen production apart from currently available systems. Their approach is driven by advanced algorithms that optimize performance in real-time, constantly adjusting to deliver the highest efficiency and reliability. Its architecture can monitor and predict performance, minimize downtime and ensure peak operational efficiency, the firm said. “Industrial decarbonization will require revolutionary energy solutions. Fourier’s unique fusion of machine learning, modular electrolysis systems, and real-time optimization is a powerful synthesis for structural advantage in scaling hydrogen where others have faced challenges. We believe this approach has the potential to reshape not just hydrogen production, but how we think about distributed energy systems more broadly,” said Airbus Ventures Senior Associate, Abigail Hitchcock.
