- Creating local employment and strong partnerships
- CO 2 transport by ship to permanent storage as part of Northern Lights

2020 PROJECT START DECEMBER 22 EARLY ARRIVAL ON SITE OF ALL THREE COLUMNS
2024 PLANNED OPERATION


Flagship projects in the UK
Track-1 Clusters
- SSE Keadby 3 and bp Net Zero Teesside Power FEEDs
- ⁃ Each with design capacity of 2 Mt CO2 per year
- ⁃ Carbon capture partner to a consortium of Aker Solutions, Siemens Energy and Altrad Babcock
- Viridor's waste-to-energy Runcorn CCS project pre-FEED
- ⁃ Targeting 1 Mt CO2 per year
- All projects shortlisted for funding, Keadby 3 received planning permission
- UK ambition of 20-30 Mt CO2 per year by 2030
- Carbon Capture and Storage Infrastructure Fund (CIF) of £1bn

Post-combustion capture covers majority of industrial emissions

1) Any process system supplier offering CO2 liquefaction technologies (CO2 compression and refrigeration) 2) Process system suppliers or petroleum refiners in cooperation with solvent suppliers

3) Categories are not mutually exclusive (i.e. some emissions could be captured by more than one capture technology): such emissions are presented for each capture category (i.e. sum is larger than total emissions). Forecast 2030 emissions already include assumptions re. the impact of alternative non-CCUS technologies in certain industries.

Delivery models

Broad product offering with range of delivery models
Three core carbon capture products offered by Aker Carbon Capture


Indicative levelized cost of Carbon Capture as a Service

Levelized cost calculated as: Cost discounted over project period divided by the amount of CO2 captured discounted over project period; Discount rate: 7.5% Total cost for ACC delivered scope is within the range of 45-100 EUR/tonne, which include the Carbon Capture plant, operations & maintenance. All the figures are based on a European delivery model and covers European transportation and storage.

Full CCS value chain economics turning positive

- EUA currently trading around 90 EUR/tonne
- Long term outlook remains sound and analysts predict a range of 80-165 EUR per tonne in 2030
- IEA's World Energy Outlook, expect a carbon price at EUR 135 per tonne in 20301, based on announced net zero pledges
- EU's Green Deal Industrial Plan and US' Inflation Reduction Act are expected to provide better access to funding for CCUS
- Overall stronger fundamentals for investments in CCUS:
- 1) Rising carbon prices
- 2) Inflation Reduction Act
- 3) Green Deal Industrial Plan
- 4) EU taxonomy

- Revenue ended at NOK 239 million which was NOK 110 million higher compared to the same period last year. The increase is mainly driven by:
- The Brevik CCS and Twence CCU EPC projects
- UK FEEDs with BP Net Zero Teesside Power and SSE Keadby 3
- CO2 Hub Nord MTU campaign, currently with Elkem
- EBITDA ended at negative NOK 47 million which was NOK 19 million better than the same period last year
- Twence CCU started to recognize profit in the period
- Both the Brevik CCS and Twence CCU projects are now recognizing profit and are expected to continue to deliver positive results through 2023
- The overall negative EBITDA continued to be driven by high sales and tender activity and R&D projects incl. digitalization
