- Agreement with Hynion to supply hydrogen gas at filling station at Herøya and for future large scale co-operation
- HydrogenPro will supply green hydrogen to Hynion´s fueling station from test/demo electrolyser containers at Herøya
- A general collaboration with Hynion regarding large-scale hydrogen production plants which will serve as centralised hubs for distribution to Hynion's network of hydrogen stations
- Launch of HyDeal North America with HydrogenPro as a partner
- HydrogenPro joins a range of well reputed industrial companies, advisers, regulators and governmental agencies in HyDeal North America, a new commercialisation platform founded by the Green Hydrogen Coalition to launch green hydrogen ecosystems around North America.

- HyDeal Los Angeles, the first regional initiative in HyDeal North America platform, is intended to be a model of rapid acceleration for additional green hydrogen ecosystems throughout the U.S.
- HyDeal Los Angeles will create the first competitive, highvolume supply chain for green hydrogen in North America, delivering green hydrogen at \$1.50/kg by 2030
- The City of Los Angeles has accelerated its committment to an ambitious target of 100% renewable energy: from 2045 to 2035
- Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), the nation's largest publicly owned utility, will convert the Intermountain Power Project (IPP) – this is North America's largest green hydrogen project under development today. IPP is the world's first combined cycle gas turbine intentionally designed and built to operate on 100% carbonfree green hydrogen

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 ASP technology
- Increasing the efficiency of the electrolyser to 93% of the theoretical maximum
- Scaling up and automatisation will gradually drive down capex and further reduce production costs
