Comparison with competing technologies

Source of competitor data: Green Hydrogen Systems investor presentation (June 2021)

HydrogenPro will be able to deliver hydrogen at a cost of USD1.2/kg* with integration of next-generation technology

• EU describes a target whereby green hydrogen is competitive with grey hydrogen in 2030
• Cost calculation based on HydrogenPro's new highpressure alkaline technology shows a cost of USD 1.2/kg*
• Ready for the market in 2022

Driving down cost of hydrogen Making green hydrogen competitive to grey hydrogen

• Applying current high pressure alkaline solution
• Combining with the new proprietary electrode technology owned by HydrogenPro
• Increasing the efficiency of the electrolyser to 93% of the theoretical maximum
• Electricity costs amounts to 70-90% of LCOH – efficiency is by far the single most important factor to reduce overall costs
• Scaling up and automatisation will gradually drive down capex and further reduce production costs
• Without use of noble metals (unlike current PEM technology)

HydrogenPro takes an industry-leading role in making green hydrogen competitive with fossil-based alternatives

^▪ *) Assumes electricity price of USD20/MWh

Global fabrication set-up to maintain cost leadership and ensure high local activity in end-markets

Production HUBs Assembly sites

• Three main production HUBs, located in Europe, US and APAC
• 5-7 assembly sites in each HUB region, close to end-markets
• Global supply chain resources to be appointed in key regions in line with global expansion plans - currently located in Norway, Portugal and China
• Location of HUBs will be influenced by mega-scale projects
• Short - medium term target of >1GW annual production

Strong public commitment

	▪ UN Secretary-General António Guterres: "Code red for human driven global heating" ▪ Co-Chair of IPPC working group Panmao Zhai: "Stabilizing the climate will require strong, rapid, and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, and reaching net zero CO2 emissions"
	▪ Overall renewables target increased from 32% to 40% ▪ Daryl Wilson, executive director of the Hydrogen Council: "Low-carbon hydrogen production capacity will exceed 10 million tons p.a. by 2030, an increase of over 60% on February reported project level. The majority of the production capacity is expected to come from renewable energy sources"
	▪ IPCEI: accelerate the hydrogen technology & markets in Europe, state aid funding of up to 100 % of the eligible cost possible ▪ Green Deal: One third of the 1.8 trillion Euro investments from the NextGenerationEU Recovery Plan, and the EU's seven-year budget will finance the European Green Deal
	▪ A comprehensive climate action plan in place, incl. a new task force of 21 agencies and departments to "enable a whole-of-government" approach to climate ▪ A large infrastructure bill pending in the U.S. Congress
IPCC report EUs "Fit for 55" will have a significant impact for green hydrogen IPCEI and Green Deal Biden's initiatives
