Raghu Kilambi
Raghu Kilambi is a Canadian technology entrepreneur, financier and reality television star. He is known for his recurring appearances on The Real Housewives of Toronto and his ventures into hydrogen fuel for use in hydrogen vehicles.[1][2][3] He is the CEO of PowerTap Hydrogen Fueling Corporation, which creates blue hydrogen fuel from natural gas, the CEO of Kirarv Capital, an advisor to Goal Acquisitions Corporation, which purchases businesses in the sports industry, and a former general partner at Rubicon Investment Group.[3][4][5][6]
The Real Housewives of Toronto[edit]
Kilambi achieved national recognition as a recurring participant on the Canadian television show The Real Housewives of Toronto, in which he was featured along with his then-wife Roxy Earle. Kilambi was introduced to Earle through a mutual friend,[7] When Earle was invited to join the cast of The Real Housewives of Toronto, Kilambi was concerned about the couple's privacy, but accepted her decision and wound up featuring in the show himself.[1][7]
Kilambi had two children by a previous marriage, who quickly took to Earle and her parents and siblings.[8][2][7] When proposing marriage, Kilambi brought his sons with him to ask that she become Kilambi's wife and their stepmother.[7] Kilambi and Earle were wed in Playa del Carmen on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.[9]
In 2018, Kilambi moved to California to pursue his technology ventures.[7] In May 2020, Earle announced that she and Kilambi had split on amicable terms, stating that Kilambi was living in the United States and that she wished to have children of her own.[10][11]
PowerTap Hydrogen[edit]
Kilambi is the CEO of PowerTap Hydrogen Fueling Corporation.[4][12] Owned by Clean Power Capital Corporation, PowerTap creates hydrogen fuel from natural gas for use in hydrogen vehicles.[12] According to Kilambi, PowerTap is committed to the creation of at least 500 hydrogen fueling stations within five years.[12]
In January 2021 it was announced that PowerTap had reached an agreement the Andretti Group, which owns and operates over 100 gas stations in the United States, to install its hydrogen fueling modules in some of Andretti's 39 California locations.[13] California was chosen as the launch site because the state offers carbon credits to promote the development of alternative energy and has mandated that 30% of heavy-duty trucks sold in the state have zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, while all consumer vehicles must reach zero emissions by 2035.[5][12][14][15]
