“We [and Newlight] have a shared vision of where we want BayoTech to go and the tremendous opportunity that the company has in the hydrogen sector. We also welcome Fortistar, who has experience building almost 400 fueling stations and are in the middle of a $400 million capital investment program to produce over 100 million gas gallon equivalents of RNG, which will accelerate the deployment of BayoTech generation sites. We are very appreciative of the continued support from Cottonwood and Sun Mountain as well. They have been amazing partners over BayoTech's 5-year journey,” said BayoTech’s President & Chief Executive Officer, Mo Vargas.
