[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n Lhyfe is paving the way for crowdfunding in the green hydrogen sector by inviting the general public to support the development of its production sites.\n \n \n Lhyfe's initiative allows the general public to finance the decarbonisation of mobility and industry, while contributing to the energy sovereignty of local areas and their re-industrialisation.\n \n \n First campaign of its kind in green hydrogen production in Europe, with the participation of nearly 1,200 citizen investors and investment amounts ranging from €300 to €75,000 - a strong signal of public confidence in the sector.\n \n Nantes (France), 23 July 2025 - 7:30 am - Lhyfe (EURONEXT: LHYFE), one of the world pioneers in the production of green and renewable hydrogen for the decarbonisation of mobility and industry, announces the successful completion of his first crowdfunding campaign on the Lita.co platform.\n The campaign, launched in May, made it possible for the general public to invest in four of Lhyfe's sites in France and Germany.
