Strategy

Nel is a global, dedicated hydrogen company, delivering optimal solutions to produce, store and distribute hydrogen from renewable energy. The company serves industries, energy and gas companies with leading hydrogen technology. Since its foundation in 1927, Nel has a proud history of development and continual improvement of hydrogen plants. Our hydrogen solutions cover the entire value chain from hydrogen production technologies to manufacturing of hydrogen fueling stations, providing all fuel cell electric vehicles with the same fast fueling and long range as conventional vehicles today.

The company has three divisions, covering the entire hydrogen value chain: Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser, Nel Hydrogen Fueling, and Nel Hydrogen Solutions.

Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser

Production of electrolysers for hydrogen production

Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser is a world-leading supplier of hydrogen production plants based on alkaline water electrolyser technology. The company dates back to 1927, when Norsk Hydro developed large-scale electrolyser plants, providing hydrogen for use in ammonia production with fertiliser as the end-product. Since then, the electrolyser technology has been improved continuously, and Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser has accumulated unique experience and knowledge about hydrogen fueling stations and power-to-gas systems.

Traditionally, hydrogen is used as an input to a number of industrial applications, including as industrial feedstock, to provide a protective atmosphere, and for other purposes. Relevant sectors include food production, chemicals/refining, metallurgy, glass production, electronics, generator cooling, and the production of polysilicon for use in PV solar panels.

Looking ahead, hydrogen will increasingly be utilised as an energy carrier, both to maximise the utilisation of renewable energy and, subsequently, as a sustainable fuel for zero-emission FCEVs. With the commercial introduction of FCEVs already taking place, Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser intends to supply the hydrogen fueling, energy storage and power-to-gas markets.

The water electrolyser market currently accounts for only a small fraction of the total hydrogen market, but is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, primarily driven by increased fueling and energy storage demand. By 2020, 40 percent of renewable electricity is expected to take the form of wind and solar power (Source: IEA).

A number of energy storage projects have been initiated worldwide, and Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser expects this development to be a main driver of demand for hydrogen energy storage in the medium term. The sector has specific interest in Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser, because the market growth is making Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser's portfolio of large-scale products increasingly relevant.

Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser started commercial sales of electrolysers in the 1970s, and has sold more than 500 electrolyser units to a broad range of industries across Europe, South America, Africa and Asia. The company has production facilities in Notodden, Norway, and has a global reach through its in-house sales apparatus and extensive network of agents.

Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser's water electrolysis and atmospheric pressure technologies are considered world-class. The company's long experience in the electrolysis field and sustained research and development efforts over the past 89 years give it a unique technological platform.

The company's Nel A electrolysers are widely respected for their robustness, reliability and energy efficiency. The products set a benchmark for competitors. When the products' flexibility, ease-of-use, high capacity and safety record are added to the list, the solutions are simply unmatched.

A new technology to be commercialised is the containerised solution pre-assembled before delivery. This pre-assembled solution will reduce time for installation and commissioning.

In addition, the company is developing the RotoLyzer®, a pressurised, compact electrolyser, which utilises a vertical, rotating cell pack, providing full operational flexibility, while allowing for low production costs. This opens up new market segments for Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser, and provides an ideal solution for hydrogen fueling stations where space is limited, or integration with renewable energy sources. The technology is patented and has been verified through extensive testing.

Nel Hydrogen Fueling

Production of hydrogen fueling stations

Nel Hydrogen Fueling (former H2 Logic) is a leading manufacturer of H2Station® hydrogen fueling stations that provides FCEVs with the same fast fueling and long range as conventional vehicles today. Since incorporation in 2003, Nel Hydrogen Fueling has invested significantly in R&D, bringing H2Station® to a level where products are offered to the early market for roll-out of larger networks of hydrogen fueling stations.

Today, Nel Hydrogen Fueling is one of few global leaders on fast fueling for FCEVs. H2Station® technology is in operation in several European countries, providing hydrogen fueling for fuel cell electric vehicles from major car manufacturers.

Nel Hydrogen Fueling was among the first to achieve fast fueling of hydrogen in compliance with the SAE J2601 standard required by the major car manufacturers. In Denmark, Nel Hydrogen Fueling has delivered H2Station® technology for the entire Danish network of

hydrogen fueling stations, operated in collaboration with leading oil, energy and gas companies.

Aside from providing fast fueling, H2Station® technology has a long proven track-record of reliable operation with more than 99 percent availability – one among the highest recorded in the world for a scattered network of 24-hour public available hydrogen fueling stations. The ambition is to keep this position and act as a preferred supplier of H2Station® for international infrastructure operators such as oil, energy and gas companies.

Developments

Nel ASA

Bent Skisaker was appointed Chief Financial Officer of Nel with effect from 1 September 2016. Skisaker comes from a position as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Eureka Pumps and has more than ten years' experience as CFO in various companies in the Aker Group. Skisaker has also served eight years as an auditor and financial advisor at Ernst & Young/Arthur Andersen.

Skisaker holds a Master in Accounting and Auditing from the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH), a B.A. of Business Organisation from Heriot-Watt University, and is qualified as a State Authorised Public Accountant in Norway.

Skisaker succeeds CFO Lars Christian Stugaard, who has served as both interim CEO and CFO in Nel. In the related stock exchange announcement, CEO Jon André Løkke commented: "He has played an important role in the development of the company, following the road from inception as a listed company to where Nel stands today. Lars Christian will continue to support Nel during the transition phase and I would like to thank him for his dedication and great efforts to Nel".

Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser

Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser has continued the development of a turn-key, containerised solution, pre-assembled before delivery. The new offering will bring reduced time for installation and commissioning.

In addition, the company initiated the work to install a pressurised electrolyser to the hydrogen fueling station with integrated on-site hydrogen production at Kjørbo in Norway. The fueling station is build and operated by Uno-X Hydrogen AS.

Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser is progressing as planned with the commercialisation of the RotoLyzer® electrolyser, targeting a commercial unit of 10 Nm3/h by 2017, and a larger unit by 2018.

Nel also entered into a Letter of Intent with Meløy Energi AS and Meløy Næringsutvikling AS to establish Glomfjord Hydrogen AS, for the potential development of a large-scale, low-cost hydrogen production facility in Glomfjord Industrial Park in Meløy, Norway.

Glomfjord Hydrogen will be marketed as a hydrogen fuel provider for industrial applications, as well as personal- and public transportation, particularly focusing on supplying low-cost hydrogen to fossil fuel-converted ferries.

The available buildings and infrastructure at the industrial park provides flexibility and a scalable production model for Glomfjord Hydrogen. The facility will be developed in parallel with the increased demand, and is expected to have a production potential of up to 6,000 kilograms of low-cost hydrogen per day

In April 2016, Nel together with SINTEF, Statoil, Linde Kryotechnik, Mitsubishi Corporation, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, NTNU and The Institute of Applied Energy, among others, initiated the project "Hyper", a feasibility study of the potential for large scale hydrogen production in Norway for export to the European and Japanese markets.

Project Hyper is planned and financed throughout 2019. The total project cost is estimated at NOK 20 million. It is funded by a NOK 14 million grant from the Research Council of Norway (ENERGIX), in addition to the contributions from the project partners.

Nel Hydrogen Fueling

Nel Hydrogen Fueling announced the launch of H2Station® CAR-200, a hydrogen fueling station that triples the fueling capacity, while reducing the footprint to one third of the current generation.

The CAR-200 builds on the operational legacy of the former CAR-100, which is used in multiple countries across Europe and has a documented high performance with better than 99 percent availability.

The new CAR-200 dispenser can be located up to 50 meters away, which enables flexible integration of hydrogen alongside other fueling products, even at very compact sites. The new fueling station can be supplied by centralised hydrogen production delivered by truck, as well as onsite production of hydrogen, enabling Nel to deliver a complete solution to the customer.

Delivery of CAR-200 to the first customers will commence during the second half of 2016 and the company has initiated the development of the next generation fueling stations beyond CAR-200.

Nel Hydrogen Fueling also entered into a contract for the purchase of a facility in Herning, Denmark for the development of a new large-scale production plant for hydrogen fueling stations. The factory will have an annual capacity to manufacture hydrogen fueling stations sufficient to support 200 000 new Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) annually.

With a total investment of NOK 85 million, including contingency, Nel intends to convert the facility into a state-of-the-art volume production facility for fueling stations based on lean

manufacturing principles. When ramp-up and plant optimisation is complete, the facility will have a name-plate production capacity of up to 300 fueling stations per year. This will ensure further product improvements over time as well as other scale benefits.

Nel Hydrogen Solutions

Uno-X Hydrogen AS, a Nel joint venture, entered into an agreement with a Norwegian affiliate of Praxair, a leading global industrial gas company, as a strategic alliance to install 20 hydrogen fueling stations, covering all the major cities in Norway by 2020.

As part of the agreement, Praxair's Norwegian affiliate will acquire a 20 percent ownership interest in the joint venture. Praxair is a global hydrogen supplier and Nel sees the Norwegian rollout as a global showcase for the future development of hydrogen networks in other key countries, like the US, Germany and Japan.

Following the agreement, Praxair's Norwegian affiliate will hold 20 percent of Uno-X Hydrogen, with Uno-X Gruppen and Nel holding 41 percent and 39 percent respectively. The joint venture will build a network of hydrogen fueling stations with hydrogen production, allowing fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) to operate in and between all the major cities in Norway. The stations will be deployed in cities like Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, and Kristiansand, along with corresponding corridor locations.

The joint venture will identify and develop the production infrastructure necessary to support a Norwegian network of fueling stations. Nel believe that working closely with gas and oil companies, like the company has done in Denmark and are now doing in Norway, is a recipe that can be successfully replicated around the globe.

In April, the joint venture announced the decision to build a hydrogen fueling station with onsite hydrogen production co-located with Powerhouse Kjørbo, an energy-positive office building in Sandvika, Norway. This will be the world's first hydrogen station with an integrated solution, and represents an innovative example of the role hydrogen can play in grid balancing and utilisation of renewable energy.

Kjørbo is centrally located in Sandvika outside of Oslo, by two of the busiest roads in Norway with 80 000 cars passing daily. The project has a total budget of NOK 28.4 million, of which NOK 5.7 million is support from the Akershus County Council and NOK 7.7 million is from the Norwegian public enterprise, Enova, responsible for the promotion of environmentally friendly production and consumption of energy.

In Norway, the new Norwegian energy bill changes the hydrogen policies and the political consensus. The earlier project-based focus is now expected to shift to towards a network roll-out model from early 2017, which reduces the political uncertainty.

In Sweden, Nel Hydrogen Solutions entered into an agreement with the City of Mariestad for the sale and construction of a H2Station®. The hydrogen fueling station will be located in the strategic Gothenburg-Stockholm corridor, and will complete the last leg in connecting the Scandinavian capitals.

The project includes a turn-key installation of a H2Station® including services and maintenance and will be owned by the City of Mariestad. The agreement has a contract value exceeding EUR 1 million and will be delivered in the forth quarter of 2016. The hydrogen fueling station in Mariestad is part of the EUR 100 million H2ME-2 project, co-funded with EUR 35 million from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, a public private partnership supporting fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies in Europe.

In California, the Energy Commission doubled the Grant Funding Opportunity (GFO) to USD 33 million, targeting to reach 100 hydrogen fueling stations by 2020. Nel submitted its tender 19 August, with the allocation expected during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Nel's leading hydrogen technology brings the company to the forefront in offering solutions to other companies tendering for the GFO. Consequently, Nel has both a direct and an indirect market approach to hedge the market entry. California also represents an opportunity within hydrogen production, as 33 percent of the hydrogen must be renewable, compared with today´s situation with no renewable hydrogen available on the market.
