Q3 2024 highlights

HydrogenPro delivers 2 of the 10 largest projects (excl. China) estimated to come online in 2025

(Electrolyser capacity MW p.a.)

Source: IEA "Hydrogen production projects" database

Awarded EUR 16.5m from EU Innovation Fund for planned GIGA project

CORE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED

  • Developed a unique Gen3 electrode technology during 10+ years from lab to industrial scale
  • Industry-leading performance

350MW PLANT UNDER CONSTRUCTION

  • A full-scale production line is currently under installation at the R&D centre in Denmark
  • Expected to be operational by Q1 2025 with 350 MW capacity annually

NEXT LEVEL: GIGA PROJECT

  • Awarded a grant from the EU Innovation Fund of EUR 16.5 million
  • Additionally, DKK 35 million awarded in May 2024 by the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark

2014-2024 20252012-2024 H2 2024 – Q1 2025 2025

Cooperation Agreement with J.H.K. Addressing small- and mid-size projects

  • › Exclusive partnership for small to mid-size alkaline for electrolyser market in Germany, Austria and Benelux
  • › Projects from 5 MW to 50 MW
  • › Andritz covering mid to mega size market
  • › HydrogenPro will be J.H.K's sub supplier for its electrolyser core products and linked process
  • › All of HydrogenPro's own IP rights remain fully and exclusively with HydrogenPro
  • › J.H.K. will be the plant integrator and EPC contractor towards the final customer
  • › The parties agreeing on a joint marketing plan for the agreed market area
  • J.H.K will also provide commissioning support on demand

JHK offers a wide range of services in the field of industrial plant construction, including pipeline, steel, tank and apparatus construction, as well as electrical engineering. The company was founded in 1901.

More than 300 days without accidents

  • › Significant efforts on HSE with implementation of a solid HSE culture
  • › Operations include manufacturing, on-site work, further validation of electrode technology
  • › Continuous hard work to improve are giving results
  • › HydrogenPro's Golden Rules of Safety:
    • I know the risks associated with my job
    • I stop and think
    • I am my own HSE manager
    • I speak up and act if I see unsafe conditions

HydrogenPro will ensure to meet the new requirements from the European Hydrogen Bank

  • On 27 September 2024, the European Hydrogen Bank introduced new terms where prospective projects will not be allowed to source more than 25% of electrolyser stacks — covering surface treatment, cell unit production, and stack assembly—from China
  • HydrogenPro is in dialogue with Europe Hydrogen Bank to understand all aspects of the regulations to optimize supply chain set-up to deliver the most competitive offering
  • HydrogenPro currently delivers electrolyser systems to one of the largest projects (100MW) in Europe a project with significant support (€ 700 million in federal funding and € 300 million from the state government)

On track to increase manufacturing capacity of 3rd generation technology to 350 MW p.a. by Q1 2025

  • On track to complete the expansion with a total capex of up to NOK 70 million for production of full-sized electrodes
  • › Installation started, installing the streel frames and crane rails for the cranes
  • › Effluent plant contract awarded
  • › On-going work for even further capacity expansions
  • Operational in Q1 2025

Pilot testing of new 3rd generation technology

  • › Detailed validation process started 1 November
  • › The pilot has been completely refurbished
  • › More instrumentation installed
    • Individual cell voltage measurements
    • Coriolis instrument to measure production rate accurately
  • › Test started last week with new electrodes
    • Operation stable
    • Instrumentation works as expected
    • Specific energy consumption good
    • Need another week to stabilise
  • Preliminary test results shows in line with previous lab results vs. 2nd generation technology
  • › Next step: Full-stack validation through joint full-scale validation program with ANDRITZ

Market development

In general: Several cancellations of already announced projects…

  • Lack of governmental funding, general inflation, increased cost on equipment/construction, higher interest rates
  • Hydrogen customers hesitating committing to sufficiently attractive offtake agreements (pricing and volume)
  • Lack of commitment also caused by less costly alternative traditional energy as well as an anticipation on a less aggressive carbon taxation regime to be applied for the upcoming period.

… but for HydrogenPro's pipeline: Very few cancellations

  • Focus on market/customer segregation, relevant projects with high likelihood for materialisation
  • Seeking beneficial alliances with partners securing both market access and realistic project hit-rate
  • High focus on business model and supply chain supporting both a sustainable offering model combining both attractiveness for customer and at same time fulfilling with local/regional requirements for market access

Large global sales pipeline

Note: All numbers exclude DG Fuels 1. Value is equivalent to €9.9bn and €2.2bn. Numbers in brackets: data as of previous quarter
