About the company

Ambient Fuels is a green hydrogen project developer focused on building “renewable hydrogen centers” for heavy industry and hard-to-abate sectors. The company positions the work as end-to-end project execution, from development and design through financing and construction. Public updates show Ambient Fuels took venture backing (including seed funding led by SJF Ventures) and later partnered with Generate Capital for project funding. Ambient Fuels was acquired by Electric Hydrogen, with the transaction closing in May 2025.

Locations and presence

The company is listed in the Greater New York area, and a Built In profile lists HQ in New York, NY. Public profiles also show additional US location pins (including Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Texas), which likely reflects where team members were based.

Palpable Score

36.4

/ 100

Ambient Fuels has very limited public hiring evidence right now, including an official careers page stating there are no current openings. With few accessible job descriptions, salary bands, or early-career outcomes, the score is capped across every pillar even though the acquisition suggests the work continues inside a larger platform.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

4.5

/ 20

The company’s official careers page states there are no current openings, which removes any practical entry point for graduates today.
Ambient Fuels appears in older hiring posts from team members on LinkedIn, but those posts do not provide current, role-specific early-career routes such as internships or 0–2 year listings.
The company does not publish a recurring graduate, intern, or apprentice pipeline on the website, and there are no visible “Junior” or “Associate” openings to review.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

9.8

/ 20

The company does not show a public ATS flow, interview stages, or candidate timelines on the careers page beyond the “no openings” notice.
Ambient Fuels has public-facing press releases and company updates that are well-written and specific, but those materials are not a substitute for transparent hiring expectations.
The company does not publish salary ranges or benefits detail in a way early-career candidates can compare, which limits confidence in fairness and transparency.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

7.8

/ 20

The company’s public materials focus on project execution and sector expertise, but they do not describe onboarding, mentoring, or coaching practices for junior hires.
Ambient Fuels has a small-team profile (for example, Built In listing 20 employees), which can allow close senior exposure, but Ambient Fuels does not spell out how learning is supported day to day.
The company does not provide early-career learning signals such as structured ramp plans, buddy systems, or clear feedback cycles in accessible job descriptions.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

6.5

/ 20

The company does not publish pay bands for roles on the careers page or elsewhere on the official site, which caps pay-fairness confidence for graduates.
Ambient Fuels has raised capital and announced large project funding commitments, but those announcements do not translate into verifiable early-career pay practices.
The company does not publicly outline benefits, equity norms, or contract stability for junior hires, so compensation assessment stays conservative.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

6.5

/ 20

The company has no clear, dedicated employee-review footprint that can be reliably tied to Ambient Fuels’ team outcomes, retention, or progression.
Ambient Fuels was acquired by Electric Hydrogen, and the press release frames continued work (including planned deployment of project capital beginning in 2026), but this does not provide early-career promotion or retention data.
The company’s LinkedIn presence shows limited, high-level company information, but it does not provide aggregated early-career progression patterns over 12–24 months.
