ATOME Energy, the international company focused on green hydrogen and ammonia production, sales and marketing with current projects in Iceland and Paraguay, announces that it has created a new division within the Company, ATOME Mobility, with the objective to commence transport operations, initially in Paraguay, in 2023.
ATOME Mobility
ATOME has created a new division, ATOME Mobility, which in Paraguay is dedicated to providing a clean energy solution for heavy road transport and shipping, two hard-to-abate industries where battery alternatives cannot provide effective solutions using present technology.
ATOME Mobility will initially focus on hydrogen energy supply to the road transport sector from the main areas of population. Negotiations are proceeding with a number of potential suppliers of equipment with the objective of commencing this part of the business by the end of H1 2023. It is anticipated that the funding for ATOME Mobility in Paraguay will be sourced through the Group's existing resources.
Part of ATOME Mobility's business plan is to co-invest and/or co-venture in the end market with operators in order to educate and promote the use of ATOME's clean energy in Paraguay first. Discussions in this regard are progressing with MOUs expected to follow.
This new division runs in parallel with the planning for ATOME's large scale green hydrogen and ammonia businesses in Paraguay and Iceland which remains on track and on schedule.
Olivier Mussat, CEO of ATOME, commented:
"ATOME Mobility's initial objective is to provide an integrated heavy goods transport offering bringing together vehicle manufacturers, haulage companies, financial solutions and end users in a closed loop all benefiting from ATOME's green hydrogen.
"To achieve Net Zero, the decarbonising of transport has been idenditifed as a priority by both Paraguay and Iceland in their national climate strategies. Companies are also under increasingly under pressure from stakeholders and funders alike to minimise the emissions involved in distributing their products globally. This is particularly the case where the parent companies are from Europe or America.
"Recognising that the production of green energy is only part of the matrix, ATOME Mobility aims to provide an integrated solution to accelerate the path for transition to zero emission green energy for all stakeholders whilst embedding ATOME as the fulcrum of change."
