MINBOS’ GREEN AMMONIA MOMENTUM WHY HYDROPOWER, LOCAL DEMAND & SUPPORT FROM ANGOLA’S GOVERNMENT ARE KEY

==> picture [246 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [47 x 84] intentionally omitted <==

Angola Has:

Cheap (renewable) electricity feedstock - Angola 1.7c/kWh vs. Australia 15.7c/kWh (industrial) Continuously available hydro power is greener & more reliable than wind & solar Agricultural growing conditions similar to Brazil’s prolific Cerrado Region No local fertilizer production Local market demand, with fertilizer production at the farm gate saving ocean, port and land transport costs equiv. to approx. half the gas consumption

Minbos Has:

Government support to establish a GreenAmmonia Project Land allocated for Green Ammonia Plant Currently negotiating access to continuously available and clean hydropower

Access to local markets to sell Ammonia Fertilizer through the IFDC and AFFPP

GLOBAL AMMONIA MARKET

==> picture [246 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

SECOND MOST PRODUCED CHEMICAL IN THE WORLD

==> picture [458 x 566] intentionally omitted <==

Supply and Demand

Global ammonia demand is 230 million tonnes per annum of which 85% is used in the fertilizer sector. Ammonia production almost exclusively uses grey hydrogen from gas or black hydrogen from coal and emits more CO2 than any other chemical production reaction.

Decarbonisation of ammonia production is possible using green hydrogen from sustainable electricity.

Source: national Hydropower Association, 2021 Hydropower Status Report (June 2021)

Ammonia 101

Basic building block for ammonium nitrate fertilizer

Releases nitrogen, an essential nutrient for growing plants, including farm crops and lawns

85% of ammonia produced worldwide is used in fertilizer, to help sustain food production for billions of people around the world

The production of food crops naturally depletes soil nutrient supplies

In order to maintain healthy crops, farmers rely on fertilizer to keep their soils productive

Fertilizers also can also help increase levels of essential nutrients like zinc, selenium and boron in food crops

ASX:MNB | 11

GREEN AMMONIA - NH 3

==> picture [246 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

GREEN AMMONIA IS GREEN HYDROGEN

Green Ammonia Production:

a simple process with a long history

Commercial production of ammonia from electrolysis for fertilizer commenced early last century and has gradually lost favour as cheap gas and coal displaced hydro electricity feedstocks when competing demands drove up the electricity price

==> picture [582 x 588] intentionally omitted <==

Green Ammonia 101

Green ammonia was originally developed to produce ammonia based fertilizer which remains the most common application.

Potential applications for green ammonia in the future include:

Energy storage

Ammonia easily stored in bulk as a liquid at modest pressures (10-15 bar) or refrigerated to -33°C, an ideal chemical store for renewable energy.

Zero-carbon fuel

Ammonia can be burnt in an engine or used in a fuel cell to produce electricity. Ammonia’s only by-products are water and nitrogen. Maritime industry is likely to be an early adopter, replacing the use of fuel oil in marine engines

Hydrogen carrier

Ammonia is easier and cheaper to store, and transport and can be readily “cracked” and purified to give hydrogen gas when required.

ASX:MNB | 12

LOCAL FERTILIZER GREEN AMMONIA THE LOW HANGING FRUIT OF GREEN HYDROGEN

Fertilizer is acknowledged as the launching point for the green hydrogen economy because it already utilizes a large proportion of the world's hydrogen[1]

Cheap renewable electricity feedstock is the key to ~ green ammonia. 1.5c/kWhr $4GJ gas Continuously available hydro power is greener and more reliable than wind and solar Local fertilizer production at the farm gate saves ocean, port and land transport costs equivalent to half the gas consumption
