HydrogenPro to deliver to the world's largest green hydrogen energy hub: 220 MW electrolysis plant

  • HydrogenPro has also signed a 10-year service and support agreement
  • The Advanced Clean Energy Storage Hub will use renewable energy sources
  • HydrogenPro will complete the fabrication of the electrolyser systems in Q3 2023, followed by on-site work with completion in late 2024

BREAKING NEWS: The Inflation Reduction Act is a major trigger for green hydrogen in the U.S.

On 12th of August 2022 the US Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)

Wind/solar/hydro power is a pre-requisite to maximize tax credit

High Pressure Alkaline or PEM electrolysis

HydrogenPro increase its presence in the U.S.

Securing local presence

Focused investment plan to scale up globally and generate industry-leading returns

Overall investment plan

Partnership strategy to fast-track build-up of global presence and market awareness…

…combined with a focused capital deployment plan:

  • Global manufacturing & assembly capacity
  • Technology and innovation: technology frontrunner
  • Scale-up of the organization
  • Working capital on large-scale projects

Main capital uses in H2 2022:

  • Fully operational fabrication facility (300 MW) in China (remaining net capex of ~NOK 45 mill.)
  • Working capital (inventory and long-lead items) to execute on purchase orders
  • Building up systems and organisation

Active sales pipeline as of end Q2 2022

Note: DG Fuels, H2V projects and Mitsubishi in US are additional projects and are not included in the sales pipeline 4

III. Technology leadership

Owner of core technology and IP rights

Strategically positioned as Original Equipment Manufacturer

Hydrogen Pro is a full-fledged life cycle partner, and we produce high-pressure alkaline electrolysers with our proprietary, next-generation electrode technology

Currently establishing a global footprint to secure local presence

HydrogenPro's advanced electrode technology increases efficiency significantly

Advanced electrode technology

Lab tests proving 14 % increased efficiency (HHV)

17

Initial electrolyser test results verified

+14%

Higher efficiency = lower energy cost

Note: Simulated modelling gives 93% electrolyser efficiency/14% reduction of energy costs Note: Long-term verification tests ongoing

Electricity is by far the largest cost - advanced electrodes is a game changer for production of green hydrogen

Levelized cost of hydrogen ("LCOH")1

18

  • HydrogenPro's advanced electrode technology reduces consumption of electricity by 14 %
  • The reduction in electricity consumption is a significant benefit to the client vs. reducing the capex of the electrolyser
  • Increasingly higher advantage with high energy prices

1) Share of LCOH depends on electricity price, the interval is based on electricity price in the range USD 20–70/MWh. Based on 100MW facility, hydrogen pressure at 15bar, civil works and auxiliaries not included (project specific), interest cost not included (client specific), use or sale of pressurized O2 as a bi-product with possible economical upside is not attributed as a value in the calculation.
