Hunter Group ASA

Hunter Group ASA - First quarter results 2023

Oslo, 25 May 2023

Company update

The reorganization of the Company is progressing as planned. Since our last

update a new board has been elected and Hunter Carbon Carriers AS has been

established. The world is currently emitting around 37 billion tons of CO2

annually. To reach net zero by 2050 drastic measures need to be taken, and we

believe CCTS (Carbon Capture, Transportation and Storage) will play a key role.

If only a small fraction of the targeted 6 billion tons of captured CO2 in 2040

is to be transported on ships, the number of ships needed will be huge. The

number of such vessels today: Zero. Ships are superior to other forms of

transportation; they are flexible, less costly and take less time to build. The

Company is using its experience from the Gas and Tanker industry to develop a

ship design for liquified CO2 carriers and is currently in the final stages of

the development phase.

In addition, the Company is working on a couple of other interesting projects

that we hope to be able to share more details about shortly.

Key events in 1Q 2023

Entered into a joint cooperation agreement with DNV for the development of a low

pressure mid-stream shipping solution for Carbon Capture and Storage. The

parties have agreed to work together to develop a 40-70K cbm liquified CO2

carrier with 20-30K cbm feeder vessels with the aim to meet defined targets

towards a sustainable CCS shipping solution. Alternative fuels such as ammonia,

methanol, fuel cells and CO2 abatement technologies will also be evaluated as

part of this project.
