RONN Inc., following President Trump's announcement to end EV mandates, is strategically positioning itself in the hydrogen market. The company has begun the process of securing a $300 million loan guarantee with HES to purchase electrolysers and storage systems, aiming for a significant 500 MWh hydrogen production capacity. With global hydrogen market projections reaching $300 billion by 2030, RONN is actively seeking additional financing through talks with capital firms from Australia and Monaco. Moreover, RONN is forging partnerships with First Nations communities, including Tobique First Nation, to further its market presence. The company sees the changing regulations and cessation of EV mandates as an opportunity to drive hydrogen adoption in transportation and infrastructure sectors, traditionally dominated by battery-based solutions.
