market valuation
> Matured the technical readiness and economic benefits of
compression as a bulk-scale transport solution
> Demonstrated compressed hydrogen as the lowest cost
regional supply in Europe

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 analysis demonstrates superior delivered cost advantage for
Compressed Hydrogen

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.

There are many tangible
relevant to scaling up supply for Europe
that are
Compression of
Hydrogen is proven
technology
Use less renewable
energy to deliver more
hydrogen
Eliminates complex &
capital-intensive
supply chain processes
Enables flexible import
solutions to balance
market demand
Offers the lowest
delivered cost for
regional supply projects
Delivers hydrogen
which is aligned with
German demand &
policy
(storage & conversion)
Provaris hydrogen carriers are a key enabler of scaling hydrogen's value chain, prioritising
safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness

“In our view, scaling up global CCS capacity will require a fleet of specialized tankers with the ability to collect CO2 from capture sites
operated by many different industrial segments.”
Shipping solutions are critical to unlocking CO2 scale and growth potential in Europe and Asia
17
2025 will build on foundations to capitalise on growing
demand for hydrogen and CO2
What we achieved so far…
Advanced technology and unique IP for cost-effective
hydrogen storage and transport solutions
First mover advantage for bulk-scale hydrogen supply –
simplicity, efficiency and cost
Upcoming Catalysts 2024-25
1. Advancing term sheet for H2
supply, offtake and shipping
agreements
2. Additional H2 supply chain
collaborations (Europe)
Strong strategic partners enhances our credibility in delivering
hydrogen to market
3. Prototype tank restart, to obtain
Final Class Approvals (H2Neo)
Compressed Hydrogen positioned as Europe’s most economical
regional supplier, aligned with demand
4. Completing Concept Design for new
CO2 Tank
Multiple MOUs upgrading to Term Sheet affirm growing
engagement in shipping and offtake opportunities
5. Securing binding H2 Sale and Purchase
Agreement (SPA) and Shipping TimeCharters
Leveraging tank IP into the established CO2 market increases
our opportunities to commercial success
