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 already in 2022 with the new technology (at an electricity cost of USD 20/MWh).

Q2 2022 Summary

Developments during the quarter

Market development

The Company's active sales pipeline increased from 97 to 109 projects, with the total capacity going from 12.7 GW to 15.4 GW during the second quarter. There is solid progress on the DG Fuels project in Louisiana (~840 MW electrolyser capacity) with final investment decision estimated in first quarter 2023.

Recent Governmental commitments, incl. the Inflation Reduction Act in the US and RePowerEU in Europe are expected to be a catalyst for final investments decisions to be made by project owners.

The Company is involved with several FEED and Engineering studies for leading companies within the energy sector as well as other industrial areas. These contracts are a part of the final evaluation and selection process for new projects, hence imperative when positioning the Company for new contracts. In general, there is a vast number of projects announced under development for decarbonization of refinery operations as well as for Power to X (in connection with Wind and PV power sources) and Ammonia projects. In a bit longer perspective, it is expected that demand for green hydrogen will further develop for fuel production and steel.

Funding granted for several new R&D projects

Funding granted, ranging from 0.27 million EUR to 3.87 million EUR, aiming to improve our market-leading technologies.

Successful initial verification of electrode technology

The factory for production of HydrogenPro's advanced electrode technology in Aarhus, Denmark is completed. Lab tests proved a 14% increase in efficiency compared to conventional electrodes.

The initial electrolyser tests at our technology centre show efficiency in line with simulated results of 14%, and long-term verification tests are ongoing.

Q2 2022 Summary

Developments during the quarter

Mitsubishi Power Americas, Inc. confirms purchase order for 40 electrolysers systems

On 4th of April 2022 HydrogenPro announced that the Company has signed a purchase order for the delivery of 40 electrolysers to Mitsubishi Power Americas, Inc. making it one of the largest electrolyser system contracts ever placed. The initial value of the purchase order exceeds USD 50 million for HydrogenPro's scope of delivery. The EPC and other system deliverables for a turn-key electrolyser green hydrogen production plant will be supplied by other companies. The green hydrogen will be consumed for power generation in the U.S.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd confirms purchase order for a large electrolyser.

On 19th April 2022 HydrogenPro announced that the Company has received a purchase order for a large electrolyser for Takasago Hydrogen Park in Japan.

The initial value of the contract exceeds 3 million USD for HydrogenPro's scope of delivery. The engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) and other system deliverables for a full turn-key electrolyser hydrogen production plant will be supplied by third parties. The plant is planned to be operational by mid-2023. It is similar to the verification plant ongoing at Herøya Industripark but customized to meet Japanese regulations.

Completed fabrication of world's largest electrolyser cell stack

Covid-19 infection control measures in China in early 2022 led to a lock down of the fabrication facility which has caused a delay in the delivery of the world's largest electrolyser system, a purchase order announced on 24th of August 2021. The entire system is being shipped from China to Norway, where it will be installed and commissioned.

Inflation reduction act Subsequent events

On 12th of August 2022 the US Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to see an offering of tax credits for low carbon hydrogen production and hydrogen fuel cell-electric vehicles signed into law.

The Act enclosed a bill which would see producers of clean hydrogen up to \$3 per kg of tax credits, as well as making up to \$7,500 available for new hydrogen-electric vehicles.

Submission of application to Oslo Børs

On 17th of August 2022 HydrogenPro submitted its application to trading on Oslo Børs by transfer of its current admission to trading on Euronext Growth operated by Oslo Børs. Subject to Oslo Børs' approval of the Company's admission application and satisfaction of any conditions for admission to trading set by Oslo Børs, the Company expects that the first day of trading of the Company's shares on Oslo Børs in first half of fourth quarter 2022.

Q2 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 signing of the two firm Purchase Orders during April 2022 are important milestones, and the Company expects to also see a strong demand for its early phase and front-end engineering studies.

HydrogenPro is attractively positioned in this developing market due to its mature and well proven high pressure alkaline technology, in combination with energy efficient electrode technology. The Company has previously stated its ability to deliver a Levelized Cost of Hydrogen ("LCOH") at a cost of USD 1.20 USD per kg (assumed electricity price of 0.02 USD/kWh).

The recent public commitments in the EU and the US to accelerate the scale-up of green hydrogen are likely to have a significant positive impact for HydrogenPro going forward.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of HydrogenPro AS as of June 30, 2022 and the related consolidated statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow statement for the six-month period, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and that the consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. "A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information does not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the entity as of June 30, 2022, and of its financial performance for the six-month period then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
