We are pleased to announce that our first "Diegel 2.0" is now in operation at our test center at Flesland, Bergen
This represents an important milestone for the development of the company, as it proves that our technology is scalable
"Diegel 2.0" was initially made to be Installed in a 2x40-feet container set-up, with an annual carbon nanofibers (CNF) potential of approx. 6.5 tonnes from 8x "Diegel 2.0"
With new full-scale production units, annual CNF potential is expected to rise significantly
TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHRROUGH
By the end of Q1 2022, our test center in Bergen will have 4 x "Diegel 2.0" in production as earlier guided
This provides us with an annual production capacity of 3.25 tonnes at our test center
We are in active discussions with Eviny Enotek, with the ambition of getting access to more electricity for us to run more production in our test center
Bergen Carbon Solutions' initial plan was a container solution, with an annual CNF potential of approximately 6.5 tonnes per container module
During the engineering process of the production modules, we discovered significant cost-reduction potential by switching to factory scale production units
On December 18th we successfully completed the first run of our "Diegel 2.0", where the technology proved to be viable. As a result, production units can either be installed in factory-scale production units or containerized modules for external production sites
With the flexible plan, and focus on full-scale factory production sites it is expected to further strengthen our competitive advantage going forward
We are excited to announce more information about the new design as soon as the pre-engineering phase of our new factory design is finished in Q1 2022
With full-scale production units, new factories will need employees with the right competence and reliable energy supply. Norway provides many locations consistent with these needs, which gives an unique opportunity to boost employment and use renewable energy sources all over Norway
We have so far identified two locations for full-scale factory production sites
SKILLED LABOUR
SUFFICIENT HYDROPOWER
INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE
ELECTRIC INDUSTRY
Mosjøen is centrally located on the Helgeland coast in Nordland County Municipality
The area is widely known for its magnificent nature, but also its access to extraordinary amounts of renewable Norwegian hydropower
Access to skilled industrial labour, sufficient energy and the proximity to CNF Arena project makes Mosjøen a perfect first location for us
Subject to engineering work, we aim for construction start at the end of Q2 2022 with ramp-up of the production capacity occurring through 2023
Expect to reach full capacity of 160 tonnes per annum by year-end 2023
SKILLED LABOUR
PROXIMITY TO CNF ARENA
SUFFICIENT HYDROPOWER
*Preliminary numbers. Production expected to start in 1H 2023.
Høyanger is located in Vestland County, approximately 3 hours from Bergen. Høyanger is a modern industrial society that has grown in step with Hydro Aluminium
The municipality has traditionally been very dependent on Hydro, but industrial diversity has developed over time. A modern infrastructure has been arranged, where all relevant service functions are available
Access to skilled industrial labour, sufficient licensing hydropower and access to an attractive long-term power supply agreement makes Høyanger the optimal place for our second factory
Since the facilities are already in place we expect the production of CNF from this factory to occur in late 2023 or early 2024
Ramp-up to occur through 2024 and we expect to reach full capacity of 240 tonnes per annum by year-end 2024

ELECTRIC INDUSTRY
SUFFICIENT HYDROPOWER
*Preliminary numbers. Production expected to start in 1H 2024.
On October 29, we promised a new guiding on full-scale factory production units before end of year (EOY). During pre-engineering and the completion of Diegel 2.0, Bergen Carbon Solutions have decided to move forward with the new production units. We expect the first factory to be in operation in 2023.
