that early, scalable projects, not giga-scale will catalyse
the Energy Transition
Hydrogen remains critical to all decarbonization goals and timelines…with a focus on cost and scale
2024 categorized as a reset for global hydrogen scale-up
expectations…
Europe starts 2025 with a demonstration of real progress
Policy: Germany reaffirms EU climate goals; backs hydrogen for
hard-to-abate industries and H₂ core-grid rollout.
>
High costs vs low demand delaying “gigafactories”
>
Energy majors reducing transition investments;
postponing large projects
>
US focused on blue ammonia with limited offtake to date
>
India emerging as a low-cost supplier of green molecules
>
EU committed to green hydrogen; easing regulations
>
Australia struggles with distance-driven and cost barriers
Rising demand for Provaris in 2025…
>
$28 B in global auctions announced to support supply FIDs
Jan 2025 – Term Sheet signed with Uniper & Norwegian Hydrogen
(42.5ktpa); HPA mid-2025.
>
Role of green ammonia being challenged as a hydrogen
carrier due to cost (cracking and scale requirement)
Mar 2025 – Second MOU for 30ktpa Norway–Germany supply;
Term Sheet due June.
Infrastructure: TSOs approve FIDs for hydrogen pipeline network
— first sections live in 2025, full build by 2032.
Funding: €105B EU Clean Industrial Deal; H₂Global’s second
auction (€2.7B) underway.
Offtake: TotalEnergies signs first binding H₂ contract – 30ktpa for
EU refineries.

, flexible and stable supply for buyers
No conversion, reduced infrastructure and faster, scalable exports
•
Provaris has outlined the necessary compression, loading, and shipping infrastructure for large-scale regional hydrogen supply.
•
Collaborating with industrial partners to develop viable supply chains and generate early cash flow via a licensing model.
•
Several supply chains are currently in development, focused on the European market.
•
The first Term Sheet signed with Uniper Global Commodities (January 2025) highlights the relavance of the Provaris solution.
Benefit to the Supplier:
Flexibility on Hydrogen Produced per
MW installed
= Higher Project Returns
Benefit to the Buyer:
More Hydrogen Delivered + Flexible
Import Solution
= Lower Delivered Cost

supply
as a viable option for security of hydrogen
“Ready to use” hydrogen has key advantage to meet key drivers for demand
Use less renewable energy to deliver more
hydrogen
Compression of Hydrogen is proven
technology
Eliminates complex & capital-intensive
supply chain processes
Offers the lowest delivered cost from
regional supply projects
Delivers hydrogen aligned with Europe’s
demand & policy ambitions
Flexible import solutions for off-takers
to balance market demand
Compression = 3% energy loss; vs Ammonia = +30% energy
loss (synthesis + cracking)
(Equipment available from leading OEMs up to 700 bar)
(ie. Compression vs conversion and cracking)
(examples of recent binding contracts have been for
hydrogen)
(Modest capex and scale enables multiple ports aligned
to development of pipeline network)

, focused on cost efficient fabrication
and supports modular infrastructure development
Advanced design and approvals for hydrogen carrier gaining industry acceptance with European partners
H2Neo Compressed Hydrogen Carrier targeting final approvals 2025
Automated fabrication using robotic laser-hybrid welding
Cargo capacity: 27,000m3 (450 tonne net); 250 Barg (Closed containment = No boil-off)
> Robotic laser-hybrid welding technology proven to lower costs, increase
productivity and reliability.
Illustration of longitude tank.
>
Fast to Market: All design & safety studies complete — prototype
in build now.
>
Lowest Total Cost: Proprietary tank IP + automated fabrication
drive down capital intensity.
>
Supply Flexibility: Modular ships + barges enable multi-port
hydrogen imports aligned with pipeline rollout.
Proven compression technology & loading arms enables flexible
and low capex jetty solutions
