Karpowership's Kinetics Invests in Green Hydrogen Tech for Maritime Decarbonization
Kinetics, a unit of Karpowership, backs green hydrogen innovations for the maritime sector. Discover how this investment aligns with SA Operations' offshore sustainability and energy transition mission.
Kinetics Invests in Green Hydrogen to Power Maritime Decarbonization
At SA Operations, we continue to track strategic innovations that directly impact offshore and maritime industries. One of the most compelling developments this year is the latest investment by Kinetics, a subsidiary of Karpowership, in the green hydrogen sector—a move poised to reshape the future of sustainable fuels in maritime operations.
Kinetics, launched in 2024, was founded to accelerate scalable decarbonization solutions across sectors notoriously hard to abate—particularly mining and maritime transport. Their recent participation in a $20 million Series A funding round for Power to Hydrogen, a cleantech company focused on producing green hydrogen using AEM electrolyzers, reflects this commitment to innovation.
According to Paul Matter, CEO of Power to Hydrogen, their patented AEM (Anion Exchange Membrane) technology offers a "scalable and cost-effective solution" for generating clean hydrogen. This technology is uniquely adaptable for use at ports, offshore vessels, or hybrid setups that integrate renewable energy sources. The funds will accelerate commercialization efforts for AEM electrolyzers and boost production of e-methanol and green ammonia, two fuel types gaining traction as zero-emission alternatives in global shipping.
For professionals in the offshore energy sector, this development isn't just news—it's a directional shift. Under mounting regulatory and environmental pressure, the maritime industry is actively exploring sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. This is where green hydrogen becomes more than a buzzword. It is a pivotal solution that meets both energy demands and emission targets.
As Mehmet Katmer, General Manager at Kinetics, explains, their investment strategy extends beyond clean electricity. It's about backing breakthrough technologies to drive sustainable fuel creation, industrial decarbonization, and circular energy systems. This investment aligns with what we at SA Operations see daily: the urgent industry-wide transition to greener, cleaner, and more compliant offshore solutions.
But that's not all. Kinetics has also co-invested in a $20 million Series A round for Exterra, a Canadian waste-to-value company transforming asbestos mine tailings into usable material. Their flagship Hub I project in Quebec will become the world's largest asbestos mitigation facility. This kind of large-scale remediation and waste valorization reflects an expanded scope of sustainability—cleaning up the past while powering the future.
For offshore operations professionals—from ROV pilots to project engineers—developments like these signal a growing need to upskill in hydrogen systems, clean fuel logistics, and emissions compliance. For clients and project managers, it reinforces the importance of partnering with agencies that understand the complexity of this transition and are already sourcing talent ready to lead it.
We specialize in identifying top-tier personnel for these forward-looking projects at SA Operations. Whether it's for offshore hydrogen deployment, subsea construction, or survey operations tied to renewables, we are committed to supplying the talent and support needed to make sustainability not just a goal, but a reality.
Stay tuned as we continue to share updates on the latest innovations and industry shifts. The future of offshore and maritime isn't just electric—it's green hydrogen-powered.
