ABOUT BERGEN CARBON SOLUTIONS

Our technology uses significantly less energy than conventional methods

Zero emission product enabling a low carbon footprint

We've developed an energy efficient, carbon negative method to produce CNF out of CO2, using renewable energy, with O2 as the only bi-product

Our product ECO-C is also known as green carbon nanofiber

Converting CO2 into CNF will positively contribute to UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

Our environmental efforts will help our customers:

  • § Reduce their carbon footprint
  • § Market their products as carbon positive
  • § Apply for grants designed for environmental purposes

One material, two products

OUR PRODUCT SEGMENTS

Our technology can produce both carbon nanofiber (CNF) and carbon nanotubes (CNT)

CNT are smaller in diameter, tubular in form and more difficult to produce than CNF, and thus have a higher product price

Most of the production volume in the pilot module has been CNF

Short-term GTM focus is on CNF, before expanding into CNT

HOW THEY COMPARE1

1: Source: PwC analysis, October 2020, 2: 2020

Carbon nanofiber (CNF)

Lighter than plastic, stronger than steel, with exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity, properties that can be transferred when combined with other materials

Estimated CAGR of 27% towards 2024, covering a wide range of industrial and technological applications

Market price between NOK 5 000 per kg and NOK 27 000 per kg depending on quality

Our products cover the whole range of qualities, meeting different customer needs

Carbon nanotubes (CNT)

Lighter than plastic, stronger than steel, and conducts electricity even more efficiently than CNF

Global CNT market almost 7x CNF market with an estimated CAGR of 24% towards 2024

Wide range of applications, ranging from batteries to semiconductors, automobile parts, aircraft fuselages etc.

Market price between NOK 18 000 per kg and NOK 210 000 per kg

Total market in 2024 estimated to be NOK 70 billion (USD 8 bn)

MARKET

Market potential and product segments

400+ potential customers – offtake agreements actively discussed with several companies

Interest from potential customers in >30 countries

New applications areas continuously being developed through R&D with existing and potential new customers

ECONOMICS

Attractive and profitable growth opportunity Example: one production module

1) 1st module

IN SHORT

Green carbon nanofiber technology provider – a pioneer within CO2 value creation

Industrial scale roll-out

News & updates

Full-scale factory

We have started pre-engineering full-scale factory production units

We have started pre-engineering full-scale factory production units. We are expecting the market to grow rapidly, and the potential scale benefits of a full-scale production factory is expected to significantly reduce our unit cost.

This is expected to further strengthen our competitive advantage. As a result of the changed focus, we will present updated guiding before the end of the year

OPTION AGREEMENT

Option agreement with Vefsn municipality

Located in Mosjøen, Norway, with a plot size of 5000m2.

Close by Alcoa Mosjøen, one of the major aluminium producers in Norway.

The electricity-prices are significantly lower than in south of Norway, thus affecting BCS production cost.

The employer's tax is significantly lower than in the south of Norway.

CRUSIBLE 1.02

Crusible 1.02 in operation

Our second crucible is now in production on Flesland. Due to the current microchip situation, we have engineered our own inhouse software for running the production units. This makes it much easier to replace hardware if needed, due to long delivery time.

The new software also enables more stabile and controlled production.

We are expecting to have higher product quality on crusible 1.02 due to the inhouse software design and implementation.

Nanoshel

Our first commercial contract signed

We are excited to have our first large-scale sales agreement with a partner like Nanoshel, with prices within our guided range. They are a significant supplier of materials for the research and development industry, and we are confident that their costumers would prefer our green carbon-nano fiber over existing highly polluting manufacturing of Carbon nano materials

Bergen Carbon Solutions has entered into a sales agreement with Nanoshel, where the annual value is expected in the range of NOK 5 million.

Nanoshel delivers over 1.000 different products to the research and development industry.

NEW LOI signed to develop additive solution

LOI

We are excited to announce that we have entered an LOI with a major Japanese company to develop an additive-solution for use in anodegraphite for lithium-ion based batteries

The solution aims to increase conductivity and reduce resistance in battery anode materials utilizing green carbon nanofiber (CNF) from BCS.

Our goal is to increase range, charging speed and lifetime cycles of batteries, while bringing down CO2 emissions simultaneously.

CNF ARENA

Cooperation for green material development

CNF Arena is a cooperation between MON, Nordland fylkeskommune and Bergen Carbon solutions AS.

CNF Arena is about building a unique and internationally leading professional environment on the development of the green materials of the future.

The current state, is a pre-study. Where we are aiming to deliver an infrastructure application for a fully equipped carbon lab, located in Mosjøen, Norway

Diegel 2.0

Diegel 2.0: The engineering is finished

The engineering phase of our new Diegel 2.0 design is finished as guided.

Delivery of parts and assembly is now taking place.

We are on track for production start in Q1 2022 as earlier guided.

Production stabilized

Production stabilized on Flesland

Our new Flesland production is uprunning and stabilized after the change of location from Garnes to Flesland

The current production on Diegel 1.01 and 1.02 are stabilized and in full production

We are ready to start assembly of the first Diegel 2.0 on Flesland in Q4 2021.

24/7 Production

Our staff is growing for 24/7 production.

We are on track for 24/7 production on Flesland as soon as the first Diegel 2.0s are in full production.

We have hired and trained 8 new process operators and implemented a shift-plan for 24/7 production.

Until the Diegel 2.0s are ready for operation, we are producing on two shifts from 06:30-22:30.

Priorities for 2021

Assembling and testing Diegel 2.0

24/7 production at test factory in Bergen

Finishing the contract for purchasing the plot in Mosjøen Further establish key partnerships

Several contracts for selling products to customers

Entering into firm contracts
