  • MoU signed with Microsoft to pursue joint innovation and explore opportunities to offer services in the CCUS market

Aker Horizons perspectives

  • Massive growth in carbon capture required to reach net zero by 2050. Carbon capture key to remove process emissions and decarbonize hard-to-abate industries such as cement and gas- and biomass-to-power
  • Economics becoming viable with increased EU ETS and reduced cost; ACC's Just Catch modular system key contributor to cost reduction
  • Innovative business models and holistic value chain approach to accelerate Carbon Capture as a Service enables emitters to pay per tonne CO2 captured

Aker Clean Hydrogen

Company highlights

Aker Horizons perspectives

  • Moving downstream in the hydrogen value chain solves the mobility challenge exporting downstream products from favorable renewable locations to where demand is
  • Hydrogen is ideal for decarbonization of local industry such as green iron
  • Aker Clean Hydrogen's system technology and standardization of plant design can contribute to major LCOH1 reductions

Aker Offshore Wind

Company highlights

  • KF Wind secured Electric Business Licenses in South Korea for 1.32 GW, a key step to realizing one of the world's first large-scale commercial floating wind projects
  • Preparations underway for participation in the California floating wind auction in autumn of 2022, where 4.6 GW in total will be put to auction
  • Together with Mainstream, closed the transaction for initial 50% stake in Progression Energy's 800 MW floating offshore wind project in Japan – a well-formed early-stage development opportunity ideal for floating wind

Aker Horizons perspectives

  • Strong momentum for offshore wind as countries increasingly announce dedicated targets for development
  • Floating offshore wind will accelerate faster than expected once LCOE1 comes down
  • Floating requires advanced engineering and technology AOW well positioned, leveraging five decades of offshore experience in the Aker group
  • Strong industrial logic for combining AOW and Mainstream; complementary footprint and capabilities, increased scale and improved access to financing

  • Levelized Cost of Energy

Mainstream Renewable Power

Company highlights

Key sector themes

Limited exposure to rising cost inflation

Andes Projects Contracting strategy & timing offers protection to cost inflation

  • All key construction contracts for Andes Renovables were executed pre-2021. Fixed price approach with key risks (solar panels, steel, shipping, labor etc.) passed to contractors
  • Andes 2016 awarded PPAs have full CPI indexation for Power Purchase Agreements

Increased volatility and cost inflation in Q1 2022

  • Cost increases commenced in Q1 2021 and have been further exacerbated in Q1 2022 with supply chain constraints
  • However, all recently entered projects have been awarded PPAs with full US or local (South Africa, Colombia) CPI indexation
  • Thus, despite increased volatility and cost inflation challenges, Mainstream is in a strong funding position following the Mitsui transaction to continue its diversified growth trajectory

Power-to-X

Mainstream's competitive advantage in markets with excellent resources

Chile has a stated ambition to produce the most cost-efficient green hydrogen in the world by 2030 and to be one of the world's top three exporters by 2040

South Africa has natural advantages with renewable energy resources, land and raw materials for hydrogen economy

Mainstream is pursuing large scale development of renewable energy pipeline in world's best regions for LCOE1 ; Chile and South Africa among leading contenders

3. Strategy update

The urgency to reach Net Zero has never been greater

  • Not on track to limit warming to 1.5°C
  • GHG emissions need to peak by 2025, then to fall 43% by 2030
  • Options available that can at least halve emissions by 2030
  • Financial flows 3-6x lower than needed to limit warming <2°C

The IPCC warned "it's now or never" Energy security now at the forefront

REPowerEU to cut 2/3 Russian gas demand by YE22, ~4x H2 production/imports by 2030, speed up RES permitting

Germany to 5x onshore wind installations and 4x solar installations per year vs. 2021

UK to cut renewables approval times from 4y to 1y; increased 2030 target to 50 GW operational offshore wind

Norway to commission onshore wind, reduce offshore wind approval timelines, develop a European H2 market

Aker Horizons' 2025 Ambitions

  1. The 25 Mt CO2e target consists of two main elements: 10 Mt CO2e of emissions reductions enabled through CCUS and ~15 Mt CO2e from avoiding emissions in electricity generation. Both targets include Aker Horizons projects in operation and in construction (as defined Aker Horizons' accounting policy) – taking into account an expected/estimated/observed capacity factor. The approach is based on the current draft of the GHG Protocol and may be updated in the future.

Note: Targets measure total capital investments, projects in operation and construction and annual emissions reduction from projects in operation and construction respectively (as defined by Aker Horizons' accounting policy), originated by Aker Horizons and platform companies, before sell-downs. For other projects, Aker Horizons' or platform companies' pro rata share of projects is applied.

Highlights

  • Income Statement is reflective of the principle activities of development, construction and operation of projects
  • Company does not "mark to market" asset values, as a result P&L is not immediately reflective of value creation through the development and construction process
  • Total assets illustrates Mainstream's ongoing shift to a Renewable Energy Major with balance sheet growth to EUR 2.8bn at Q1 22 from EUR 1.4bn2 at Q1 21
  • Andes portfolio in Chile the largest component of total assets, with balance largely split across property, plant and equipment, contractual assets, cash and other items
  • Cash balance excludes Mitsui funding of EUR 575m which closed post 31 March

  • Mainstream as reported in AKH. 2021 financials are preliminary. Q1 22 figures from unaudited management accounts

  • Q1 21 figure from Mainstream management accounts. Increase in total assets partly explained by fair value adjustments from purchase price allocation following the acquisition of Mainstream in Q2 21 and growth of business
