HydrogenPro About
HydrogenPro designs and supplies large scale hydrogen production plants in cooperation with global partners and suppliers. Our core product is the alkaline high-pressure electrolyser.
The company was founded in 2013 by individuals with background from the electrolysis industry. We are an experienced engineering team of leading industry experts, drawing upon unparalleled experience and expertise in the hydrogen and renewable energy industry.
Our advanced electrode technology enables us to increase the efficiency of each unit by 14%, hence reducing electricity cost with 14%. This is a significant step forward as the cost of electric power, depending on market prices, amounts to 70-90% of the total cost of producing hydrogen, the value of such increased efficiency equals approximately the investment cost for the entire plant in a Total Cost of Operation perspective.
Unlike traditional alkaline systems, our high-pressure units (up to 30 bar) save compression costs and are superbly suited for variable loads from solar panels and wind turbines. Thus, we compare favourably to alternative technologies. We are able to produce hydrogen at a lower cost, without using noble or scarce metals, while using renewable energy sources.
The demand for green hydrogen is accelerating all over the world, and we are aiming to become the #1 large-scale hydrogen production systems player. While most analysts predict that the cost of hydrogen will be reduced to USD 1.5/kg in 2030, HydrogenPro can deliver hydrogen at about 1.2 USD/kg already in 2022 with the new technology (at an electricity cost of USD 20/MWh).

Q3 2022 Summary
Developments during the quarter
Market development
During Q3 we have seen an increasingly growth in the size of new projects and at the same time a maturing of the projects in the active part of the pipeline, bringing us in to a more specific discussion with clients about both commercial conditions and potential arrangements for slot reservations.
The consensus about more projects approaching an FID do result in a more restraint market for available electrolyser capacity, where clients are increasingly concerned about the potential availability on equipment meeting their demand.
The IRA act (US) has positively accelerated both the project development as well as the commercially readiness of several large projects, where we expect to see several large-scale orders materializing in the US during the next quarters. We expect this situation to also influence on several European projects since they are also competing the same capacity for electrolysers, hence several projects are expected to be sanctioned during next 2 quarters.
More distant markets as India, North Africa/Middle East and Australia are also ramping their ambitions, especially based on the expectations to green ammonia as a future energy carrier.
Submission of application to Oslo Børs
On 17th of August 2022 HydrogenPro submitted its application to trading on Oslo Børs by transfer of its current admission to trading on Euronext Growth operated by Oslo Børs.
Conversion to public limited liability company, change of company name and amendment to the share capital registered
On 12th of September 2022 an extraordinary annual general meeting was held. The resolutions made by the general meeting, inter alia amendments to the Company's articles of association, including the conversion of the Company into a public limited liability company, change of company name and amendment to the share capital as a result of the bonus issue are registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. The new name of the Company is HydrogenPro ASA. The Company's new share capital is NOK 1.160.563,42, divided by 58 028 171 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0,02.
Continued verification tests of electrode technology
The initial electrolyser tests at our technology centre show efficiency in line with simulated results of 14%. Continued long-term verification tests are being conducted to collect sufficient performance data.
Q3 2022 Summary
Delta Airlines signing Offtake Agreement with DG Fuels
During Q3, Delta Airlines signed an Offtake Agreement with HydrogenPro's partner, DG Fuels. The agreement is estimated to make up more than one third of the total volume of the capacity at DG Fuels' Louisiana facility. The highpressure alkaline water electrolyser installation will be at least 839 MW.
Tianjin manufacturing facility approaching full-scale capacity
HydrogenPro's manufacturing facility in Tianjin, China is approaching full-scale capacity. During the quarter, the factory was upgraded with new production equipment and other investments of NOK 17.0 million during third quarter 2022.
Subsequent events
First trading date on the main list on Oslo Stock Exchange
On 3rd of October 2022 HydrogenPro ASA had its first day of trading on the main list of Oslo Børs, following an uplisting from Euronext Growth Oslo. The company's shares trade under the ticker "HYPRO" on Oslo Børs.
Air France-KLM has signed an Offtake Agreement with our partner, DG Fuels
Air France-KLM signed an Offtake Agreement with DG Fuels, making 90% of the capacity of the production plant in Louisiana filled. This project has a value of >USD 500m for HydrogenPro.
Validation of the world's largest electrolyser
Production, installation at Herøya and commissioning expected to be completed on 9th of November 2022. Power supply to the electrolyser is turned on and we are now producing gas. Testing will run to year end 2022 and final details will be reviewed.
Q3 2022 Summary Outlook
The outlook for the Company's services continues to strengthen backed by an ever-increasing focus on the need for a green energy transition. This is manifested through an increasing number of opportunities and projects within the green hydrogen space. Clients continue to mature projects and financing and move steadily towards final investment decision and thus contract awards. The Company expects to also see a strong demand for its early phase and front-end engineering studies.
HydrogenPro expect to deliver close to 90% of the scope within the awarded purchase order, announced on 4th of April 2022, with Mitsubishi Power by the end of 2023, and will start recognizing revenue from fourth quarter 2022.
HydrogenPro is attractively positioned in this market with its mature and well proven high pressure alkaline technology, in combination with its energy efficient electrode technology.

The information above is based on the location of the customers.
The Group recognise revenue according to IFRS 15 and applies the following judgement that significantly affect the determination of timing and amounts of revenue from contracts with customer:
Each contract is assessed with respect to whether the revenue can be classified as customised and in turn recognised using percentage of completion method. There are several criteria that must be evaluated.
- 1) Alternative use: If the product made for a specific customer require significant cost to modify to be able to transfer it to another customer, the contract would likely meet the criteria of alternate use.
- 2) Enforceable right to payment: If the contract gives the Group right to payment that recover costs incurred and a reasonable margin upon termination, the contract would likely meet the criteria of enforceable right to payment.
To determine the revenue from contracts recognised as customised HydrogenPro use the percentage of completion method. The degree of completion is calculated as expenses incurred as a percentage of estimated total expenses. Total expenses are reviewed on a regular basis. If the projects are expected to result in losses the total estimated loss is recognised immediately.
The Group's revenue from contracts with customers are recognized from two principal sources; sale of electrolyser systems, and sale of engineering services. The sale of engineering services are either in combination with sale of electrolyser systems or as a separate service as in FEED studies. All contracts recognised in the 3rd quarter are assessed to be customised and recognised over-time.
The Groups revenue and expenses are not allocated to different segments, and this is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
