Thyssenkrupp has found the corporate equivalent of a winning lottery ticket down the back of the sofa. The 7 billion euro German conglomerate’s shares leapt 12% on Tuesday on hopes it might list its electrolysis division, which is rapidly undergoing a hydrogen-focused makeover . The unit’s sales are negligible. But such is the hype around the gas, a key enabler of the zero-carbon economy, that it may be a multibillion-euro jackpot.

The oversight is understandable. Thyssenkrupp’s sales in the financial year just completed were 33 billion euros, according to Refinitiv estimates. The lion’s share came from steel and auto-related industrial units.

, which makes a different type of hydrogen electrolyser, has an enterprise value of 2.7 billion pounds, 675 times last year’s 4 million pounds of revenue.
