HydrogenPro About

HydrogenPro designs and supplies large scale hydrogen production plants in cooperation with global partners and suppliers. Our core product is the alkaline high-pressure electrolyser.

The company was founded in 2013 by individuals with background from the electrolysis industry. We are an experienced engineering team of leading industry experts, drawing upon unparalleled experience and expertise in the hydrogen and renewable energy industry.

Our advanced electrode technology enables us to increase the efficiency of each unit by 14%, hence reducing electricity cost with 14%. This is a significant step forward as the cost of electric power, depending on market prices, amounts to 70-90% of the total cost of producing hydrogen, the value of such increased efficiency equals approximately the investment cost for the entire plant in a Total Cost of Operation perspective.

Unlike traditional alkaline systems, our high-pressure units (up to 30 bar) save compression costs and are superbly suited for variable loads from solar panels and wind turbines. Thus, we compare favourably to alternative technologies. We are able to produce hydrogen at a lower cost, without using noble or scarce metals, while using renewable energy sources.

The demand for green hydrogen is accelerating all over the world, and we are aiming to become the #1 large-scale hydrogen production systems player. While most analysts predict that the cost of hydrogen will be reduced to USD 1.5/kg in 2030, HydrogenPro can deliver hydrogen at about 1.2 USD/kg with the new technology (at an electricity price of USD 20/MWh).

Q4 2022 Summary

Developments during the quarter

Market development

The high activity levels in the green hydrogen space continued into the fourth quarter of 2022, leading to favorable market conditions for HydrogenPro. Customers showed increased engagement, and several projects in the active part of the pipeline matured further. Throughout the quarter, customers initiated specific discussions on both commercial conditions and technical performance values, as well as slot reservation mechanisms.

Customers requesting Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) studies are becoming more common. This indicates an increased development prior to Final Investment Decisions and subsequent purchase orders.

The customer typically have formed an opinion on supplier selection when entering the FEED stage, and the number of supplier entering this stage of a project is usually limited to a couple. This also follows from the restrained capacity in the electrolyser market, where clients are increasingly concerned about the potential availability on equipment meeting their demand.

In the US, the inflation reduction act (IRA) passed by Congress in August 2022, is beginning to show effect. The newly introduced favorable tax scheme for producers of green hydrogen contributed to acceleration of several US based projects this quarter, both for project development as well as increased commercial readiness. This is expected to result in final investment decisions being made within 2023.

The development in US has driven both industrial players as well as the political establishment to push for a similar regime also in Europe. This is in order to avoid the US to capture the available electrolyser capacity and the suppliers' attention, leaving European projects behind. In Europe we see active projects within all industrial sectors, however the lack of available funding as well as the energy restraints/cost has stalled many projects to materialize up to now. This is expected to improve in 2023, following measures initiated by the European Union and National Governments.

More distant markets as India, North Africa/Middle East and Australia are still ramping up their ambitions. Especially based on the expectations to green ammonia as a future energy carrier and fuel, this in addition to its traditionally use within the agriculture industry.

First trading date on Oslo Børs main market

On 3 October 2022 HydrogenPro ASA had its first day of trading on Oslo Børs main market. The company's shares trade under the ticker "HYPRO".

Tarjei Johansen appointed new CEO

On 18 November 2022 HydrogenPro announced the appointment of Tarjei Hansen as new CEO. Mr. Johansen's first day in the office was on 1 December 2022. He has held executive positions in Schlumberger, Kemira and Bureau Veritas, leading several hundred employees through profitable growth.

Q4 2022 Summary

DG Fuels has sold out 100% of the expected initial production at the plant in Louisiana, US

During the quarter two off-take agreements were signed for Sustainable Aviation Fuel ("SAF") from DG Fuels' planned SAF facility in Louisiana, USA; Air France-KLM on 25 October 2022 and an undisclosed buyer on 10 November 2022. In total, DG Fuels has sold out 100% of the expected initial production of approximately 120 million gallons per year.

Validation of the world's largest electrolyser

The initial test of the world's largest alkaline highpressure electrolyser at the Herøya Industrial Park located in Porsgrunn, Norway is completed. The single 5,5 megawatt (MW) electrolyser has been validated to produce 1,100 Nm3/h hydrogen at normal current density. This equals 100 kg of pure green pressurized hydrogen per hour, which sets a new standard for the industry. The test provides proof-of-concept that our electrolyser and gas separator technologies will produce hydrogen on a large scale. Further testing to optimize electrolyser efficiency on-going.

300 MW manufacturing facility

During the quarter, HydrogenPro's manufacturing facility in Tianjin, China was upgraded with new manufacturing equipment. The manufacturing process is on-going to deliver on the awarded purchase orders.

Subsequent events

No events have occurred after the balance sheet date with significant impact on the interim financial statement for the fourth quarter or the year 2022.

Q4 2022 Summary Outlook

The outlook for the Company's services continues to strengthen backed by an ever-increasing focus on the need for a green energy transition. This is manifested through an increasing number of opportunities and projects within the green hydrogen space. Clients continue to mature projects and financing and move steadily towards final investment decision and thus contract awards. The Company expects to also see a strong demand for its early phase and front-end engineering studies.

With regards to the Advanced Clean Energy Storage ("ACES") project, HydrogenPro plans to complete the manufacturing of the electrolyser systems in second half of 2023, and plan to recognize ~90% of the total project revenues of the >50 USD mill. contract by the end of 2023 - with a positive margin impact

HydrogenPro is attractively positioned in this market with its mature and well proven alkaline highpressure technology, in combination with its energy efficient electrode technology.

The information above is based on the location of the customers.

The Group recognise revenue according to IFRS 15 and applies the following judgement that significantly affect the determination of timing and amounts of revenue from contracts with customer:

Each contract is assessed with respect to whether the revenue can be classified as customised and in turn recognised using percentage of completion method. There are several criteria that must be evaluated.

  • 1) Alternative use: If the product made for a specific customer require significant cost to modify to be able to transfer it to another customer, the contract would likely meet the criteria of alternate use.
  • 2) Enforceable right to payment: If the contract gives the Group right to payment that recover costs incurred and a reasonable margin upon termination, the contract would likely meet the criteria of enforceable right to payment.

To determine the revenue from contracts recognised as customised HydrogenPro use the percentage of completion method. The degree of completion is calculated as expenses incurred as a percentage of estimated total expenses. Total expenses are reviewed on a regular basis. If the projects are expected to result in losses the total estimated loss is recognised immediately.

The Group's revenue from contracts with customers are recognized from two principal sources; sale of electrolyser systems, and sale of engineering services. The sale of engineering services are either in combination with sale of electrolyser systems or as a separate service as in FEED studies. All contracts recognised in the 3rd quarter are assessed to be customised and recognised over-time.

The Groups revenue and expenses are not allocated to different segments, and this is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.

On the 9th of June 2022 HydrogenPro acquired 75% of the shares of HydrogenPro Tianjin CO Ltd ("Tianjin"). Tianjin is reported as a part of the HydrogenPro Group from June 2022.

Tianjin is a provider for electrolyser systems, headquartered in Tianjin, China with approximately 35 employees at the time of acquisition. Tianjin specializes in manufacturing and assembly of hydrogen systems, including steel system structures and high-pressure piping, and has its production facilities also in Tianjin, China. Tianjin will bring significant system assembly capacity and know-how and complement the capabilities of HydrogenPro, improving control of the value chain and accelerating time to market.

Tianjin's revenues for the year 2021 would have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statement of HydrogenPro as all production was delivered to HydrogenPro. 2021 profit and assets as of 01.01.22 in Tianjin amounted to no more than 2% of HydrogenPro's consolidated values.
