HEXAGON IS A GLOBAL LEADER IN CNG & H2 STORAGE TECHNOLOGY

12

Hexagon Hydrogen tanks build on proven CNG experience

12

Hexagon is a global leader in H2 lightweight tanks specifically

• More than 50 years of gas storage experience

• World’s largest and most automated CNG Type 4 tank manufacturing facility

• Global market leader in lightweight composite CNG tanks for natural gas vehicles

• More than 10 years of Hydrogen gas storage experience (since 2002)

• Hydrogen tank contracts with leading automakers around the world

• 40 certified Hydrogen tank configurations and significant amount of Hydrogen-related IPR


HANDLING FC BACKUP POWER IS MUCH EASIER BECAUSE OF THE LOW WEIGHT

1313

Hydrogen backup power is not only lighter, it is also lower cost than battery backup

Swapping 1 cylinder at 13 kg (1 man operation) is an easy task compared to swapping a battery at 30 or 53 kg (two man operation)

Li-ion battery Lead acid battery

13 kg

53 kg

Hydrogen cylinder

30 kg

Hydrogen backup power is evaluated by operator of sensitive infrastructure to be a more reliable than any other options


TRAIN – AN EMERGING OPPORTUNITY

• Market driven due to need to replace diesel driven locomotives1

• Investment in grid to electrify is too high

• Fuel cell driven locomotives is to be the preferred future solution

• Hexagon Composites is already engaged in projects

MARINE – AN EMERGING OPPORTUNITY

15

• Market driven due to need toreplace fossil fuel in short sea andferries1

• Batteries will only cover a certainrange, and might require heavyinvestment in landside bufferbatteries for charging (too low effectin grid)

• Fuel cell in hybrid with batteries willbe the solution for severalapplications

• Hexagon is already engaged inprojects

HEXAGON POSITIONED IN 5 H2 SUB-SEGMENTSRANGING FROM 200 TO 1000 BAR PRESSURE

18

1. Light duty: Very large market potential, we are well positioned• Current contracts, current bids and best in class high rate facility

2. Bus & Truck: Large market potential, we are well positioned• Current CNG contracts with CHG bus developers, leveraging mounting

system capability

3. Backup power: Medium market potential – we are now taking position• Superior versus conventional battery technology

4. Gas Transport: Medium market potential, emerging, we are well positioned

• Current TITAN® CNG trailer product forms foundation for expanding to H2

5. Infrastructure: Medium market potential and we are well positioned• Superior cycle life versus steel and aluminum products

• HyTrans – Prototype/Testing of high pressure hydrogen trailer in Norway

• US-based (DOE):• Several projects related to cost optimization of composite structures

and liner material/production technology.


H2 RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Internal H2 Liner project

21

• Internal test capability allows rapid creation & retention of proprietary results

• Able to offer analysis of field events• Isostatic exposure in pressure chamber

• 0 to 700 bar • H2, CH4, He, N2, other gasses

• Variables• Saturation• Material• Thickness• Temperature• Depressurization rate


SUMMARY & OUTLOOK

22

• Hexagon has established separate hydrogen business unit̵ to lead development of a new high-growth market niche

• The market potential for compressed hydrogen tanks is̵ significant driven by fuel cell electric vehicles

• Adjacent market demand in marine, rail and backup̵ power will further increase demand

• Demonstrated technology solutions create barriers to̵ entry that protect profitability and market share

• Hydrogen is a major growth opportunity, and Hexagon̵ is well positioned to take a leading role
