Aker Horizons' view
- 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-, biomass- and waste-to-energy
- Economics becoming viable with increased EU ETS and the US Inflation Reduction Act support of USD 85/ton; 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

- Superconductor technology to conduct electricity with no resistance
- Proprietary cryostat designs, materials and heat management techniques
Aker Horizons' view
▪ The combination of significantly increasing our renewable energy share and electrifying our economies is essential to decarbonization – but if we continue adding renewable energy at our current pace, many of our grids will be overwhelmed by 2030

- For PPAs in Chile, DISCOs have the right but not the obligation to buy up to the contracted volume of the energy supplied by the generator. However, the DISCOs have the obligation to buy contracted energy prior to making spot market purchases and can only turn to the spot market when demand exceeds the contracted volume under existing PPAs. These Andes Renovables PPAs, which were awarded in 2016, have full CPI indexation.

Mainstream proforma accounts1
Highlights
- Mainstream's Income Statement is reflective of the principal activities of development, construction and operation of projects
- Market challenges remain in Chile with operators exposed to difference in prices at injection to the grid and withdrawal. Forced transmission line maintenance in Q1 also resulted in further losses. Q2 is showing signs of improvement. Agreed a temporary withdrawal of the Caman wind farm from the short-term market until it enters commercial operation, facilitating a reduction in the company's exposure to the spot market
- Impairment of EUR 359 million, net of tax, is recognized on the Andes assets in Q2 due to continued uncertainty and ongoing restructuring
- Certain defaults exist across the facilities. A standstill agreement with senior lenders entered in May temporarily waived defaults at quarter-end. Debt reclassified as current liability
- Agreement with lenders to terminate interest rate swaps generating USD 170 million in net proceeds; use of proceeds pending final outcome of debt restructuring. Cumulative gain of USD 119 million net of tax remains in Other Comprehensive Income as of Q2. Pending final outcome of the ongoing debt restructuring, the gain is expected to be recognized in the Income Statement either partially or in full
- Proceeds of EUR 81 million were received in Q2 2023 related to sale of Lekela, in-line with expected proceeds of USD ~90 million
