Executive Summary
Global Challenge
Provaris Partnership with Yinson
>
Global CO2 emissions from energy combustion and industrial
processes reached record highs in 2024
>
Yinson is a global operator of energy infrastructures assets with
strong financial position
>
Swing by energy majors to produce more fossil fuels will boost
investment in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to cut CO2
emissions
>
Leveraging Provaris’ proprietary storage and marine transportation
design and construction methodology
>
Design of new bulk-scale LCO2 tank and integrated shipping solutions
>
Fully funded development program with key milestones in 2025/26;
includes fee income to Provaris
>
Yinson bring access to immediate market opportunity through its joint
development of the 10 Mtpa Havstjerne CCS, Norway
>
Existing infrastructure for liquid CO2 (LCO2) capture is mature,
however limited in capacity based on existing industry needs
Industry Hurdles
>
Primary CO2 transportation methods over longer distances are
pipelines and shipping.
>
Shipping of LCO2 limited to 7,500 cbm vessels, with new orders for
22,000 cbm vessels, and demand for +30,000 cbm capacity
>
Cost efficiencies requires larger “bulk scale” storage and vessels to
meet growing CO2 marine transportation requirements.
Benefits
>
Lower capital and operating costs per cbm of LCO2 storage
>
Global pipeline of CCS projects advancing to FEED and FID will need
low-cost cost storage and transport solutions
>
Offers Provaris growth in License Fee for tanks required in floating
storage, shipping, and land-based storage solutions

Global CCS industry valued at USD 8 billion (2024), forecast +20% CAGR1
Global CO2 emissions from energy combustion and industrial processes reached record highs in 2024
> Total CO2 emissions from energy rose by 0.8% in 2024, reaching a
record high 37.8 Gt CO2, primarily from natural gas and coal.
Global CO2 emissions from energy combustion and
industrial processes and their annual change, 1900-2023
(IEA, GigaTonnes CO2)
> Advanced economies are adopting low-emission energy sources, though
the Energy Transition is progressing more slowly.
> In 2025, global energy companies will boost investment in Carbon
Capture and Storage (CCS) to cut CO2 emissions, supported by
established carbon markets and net-zero targets.
> Carbon Policy is being implemented in industries, with the EU’s Carbon
Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) payments starting in 2026.
> CO2 is seen as a low-value waste product (cost to industry),
necessitating investment in efficiency and scalability.

Why the need for new tank designs?
The bigger the tanks, the bigger the SAVINGS in associated capital equipment & operating costs
> CO2 must be stored at pressure with Type C tank the solution, or other alternative designs.
> Class and IGC regulations already in place to accelerate design and approvals.
> Market is offering large LCO2 tanks at 5,000 to 7,500 cbm capacity (60 to 70 mm plates). Beyond that ... steel thickness becomes
unmanageable!
Provaris investment to date in novel layered tank designs and automated tank fabrication enables:
i.
Accelerated development timelines through knowledge of novel designs and Class approvals;
ii.
Storage capacity at multiples of existing designs;
iii.
Lower tank construction costs; and
iv.
Ownership of IP maximizing design and licensing revenues.
