Provaris addressing the challenges of scaling up hydrogen: Complexity, Cost and Industry Demand, with 3 MOUs entered with German utilities, including Uniper

Germany's need for Hydrogen

"Meeting German demand solely through domestic supply would neither be technically nor economically viable". NHS 2023

Germany requires over 70% of its hydrogen demand (3-4 Mtpa) to be met by imports

Equates to 1.5-3 Mtpa of hydrogen imports required by 2030

Meanwhile the supply market is dominated by Ammonia…with no industrial-scale facilities to convert back to Hydrogen

Provaris Concept Design Study reaffirms enables low -cost supply for Europe

Outcomes for a 540MW renewable grid connected site, sailing 1,000 Nm, when compared to the ammonia supply chain (delivered as gas), confirmed capital and energy efficiency benefits when delivered as hydrogen

Provaris analysis demonstrates superior delivered cost advantage for Compressed Hydrogen

In 2024, +€1 billion in funding for green ammonia and hydrogen projects highlight a H2 cost range of €6-10/kg

Provaris delivered cost at €6/kg 3 for green hydrogen competitive against 2024 results for EU Hydrogen Bank Auction & H2Global Pilot Auction

Source: * H2Global, BloombergNEF; ^ Provaris Analysis

1. July 2024: Germany's H2Global pilot auction awarded Fertiglobe as the sole recipient of €394 million to support a 7yr supply contract of at least 259,000 tpa of NH3 (equivalent to 37,000 tpa of H2).

  • 2. April 2024: EU Hydrogen Bank awarded a combined €720 million across 7 projects; set to produce a collective 158 ktpa of hydrogen by 2029. Portugal, Spain, Norway and Finland were the selected locations. Winning bids submitted to the auction suggest average levelized costs between €5.8/kg and €8.8/kg. A second €1.2 billion auction is planned for late 2024.
  • 3. September 2024: Provaris Energy: Design Concept Study, 87,000 tpa, Norway to Germany. https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/PV1/02847279.pdf

Funding continues in 2024 with second €1.2 billion EU Hydrogen Bank auction

Realisation that green hydrogen production costs in Europe are higher than expected… Focus on efficiency and cost!

BNEF provide disclosed average levelised production cost of RFNBO (green) hydrogen in the European Hydrogen Bank pilot auction (2024)
