Concept Selection Milestone Expands CO2
Commercialisation Opportunity
Highlights
• Provaris’ LCO2 tank selected as the reference containment solution for Yinson’s Floating
Storage and Injection Unit (FSIU) development program, with the tank advancing through
FEED.
• Further joint development of the LCO2 tank (YP-Provaris LCO2 tank) has now achieved
Concept Selection to extend beyond the FSIU application to include evaluation for LCO2
carriers and floating storage terminal solutions.
• Milestone materially broadens the commercial application of the YP-Provaris LCO2 tank
technology across the carbon capture and storage (CCS) supply chain.
• YP-Provaris’ LCO2 tank design allows for the fabrication and installation of significantly larger
tanks in carriers and barges to improve transport and storage economics versus conventional
market solutions
• Stage 2 FEED activities for a 25,000 cbm capacity LCO₂ tank continue through to mid-2026
under the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with Yinson.
• DNV engaged to progress General Approval for Ship Application (“GASA”) Class Approval in
parallel with FEED activities.
• Development pathway provides a framework for future licence fee monetisation aligned with
CCS project financial investment decisions and execution timelines.
Provaris Energy Ltd (ASX: PV1) (“Provaris” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that its
proprietary liquified CO2 (LCO2) tank design has achieved a Concept Selection milestone as part of
Yinson Production’s (Yinson) development activities which now includes LCO2 carriers and floating
terminal solutions. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
Concept Selection Extends Beyond FSIU
Importantly, the selected concept is no longer limited to Yinson’s Floating Storage and Injection Unit
(FSIU) applications and is now being evaluated across a broader range of CCS infrastructure solutions
including LCO2 carriers for shipping and floating terminal requirements.
This milestone represents a key technical and commercial de-risking event for Provaris’ new LCO2 tank
design developed under the Joint Development Agreement between Provaris and Yinson.
Selection demonstrates the Provaris tank design and technical evaluation has resolved and mitigated
key technical uncertainties, materially increases the addressable market and highlights a clear cost and
efficiency benefit to the development of new large-scale CCS supply chains. Concept Selection provides
a clear gateway into FEED level studies and the execution phases of development.
Yinson Production AS Chief Technology Officer, Lars Gunnar Vogt, commented: “"We are
pleased with the progress of our joint development of the LCO2 tank FEED stage. From a project
economics perspective, large-scale CO₂ storage solutions have the potential to materially improve
efficiency and reduce cost per tonne relative to existing market offerings.

The LCO₂ tank design provides a scalable containment solution well suited to the requirements of large
CCS developments. Subject to successful completion of the tank's FEED stage and receipt of a General
Approval for Ship Applications (GASA) approval by DNV for maritime classification, the LCO₂ tank design
can be a preferred solution for future projects."
Provaris Energy’s Chief Technology Officer, Per Roed, added: “The selected concept reinforces
our differentiated positioning in delivering key technical and economic benefits to CO2 supply chains.
The design and engineering of the Type C Equivalent tanks to date have verified that that we can
produce and operate the 25,000 LCO2 tank with an extremely low probability for structural failures and
leakages in accordance with the requirements for a Type C tank in the IGC Code.
Moreover, we have advanced the design of the automated production facility which will allow for a high
level of quality assurance and cost reduction during fabrication compared to conventional fabrication
processes.”

Commercial Relevance
Together with Yinson, we view large-scale CCS supply chains will require material expansion in marine
transport and offshore storage infrastructure over the coming decade.
The ability to reduce cost per tonne of CO₂ transported and stored is expected to become increasingly
important as CCS projects move toward final investment decisions and commercial execution. These
represent a key competitive advantage for maritime CCS supply chains
The assessment highlights that larger tank configurations have the potential to:
• Improve transport and storage efficiency per tonne of LCO₂.
• Reduce unit costs through scale.
• Enhance overall project economics for large CCS developments requiring storage, maritime
transportation and offshore storage and injection solutions.
This view underpins Yinson’s commitment through the JDA with Provaris and the fact that Yinson has
funded the development of the LCO₂ tanks as part of a differentiated commercial offering in the CCS

shipping market and positioning the technology for future licence fee revenues linked to CCS
infrastructure development
Northern European CCS developments, including projects across Norway and the North Sea region, are
expected to require significant expansion in marine transport and offshore storage infrastructure prior
to 2030.
Development Pathway and Target Timeline
Current development activities under the JDA include:
• Completion of Stage 2 FEED activities targeting mid-2026;
• Staged fabrication and testing program utilising Provaris’ laser welding and robotic facility
located at Fiskå, Norway.
• GASA maritime classification approval to validate the combination of a new tank design, robotic
manufacturing and material performance meets compliance with IGC codes for Type C
equivalent tanks.
• Integration into Yinson’s FSIU FEED activities and ongoing development of LCO2 carrier and
terminal storage designs.
• Ongoing evaluation of future commercial structures associated with the technology This timeline
provides a clear framework for the proposed joint venture company (“JV Co”) between Yinson
and Provaris to be established for future approvals and execution readiness and align the
monetisation of LCO2 tank licence fees with project milestones.
Next Steps in the June Quarter.
• Completion of FEED activities including structural modelling and final design documentation.
• Staged testing program of tank components, with fabrication undertaken at Provaris’ robotic
laser-welding facility.
• Continued design of a full-scale tank production facility providing an estimate of unit cost and
delivery schedule for tanks, as part of the MOU announced with Himile.
• Progressing GASA Class approval.
• Integration with Yinson’s FSIU FEED program and schedule.
