Competing on CostProjected green hydrogen production costs by 2030 ($/kg)
Source: Bloomberg NEFLevelised cost of Hydrogen assuming optimizing projection for alkaline electrolyzer costs
9Levelised Cost of Hydrogen for 200,000 tpa
Scoping Study confirms C-H2 is competitive with zero emissions Evaluated levelised cost and energy efficiency for C-H2, Liquefied Hydrogen & Ammonia
Levelised Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) for the C-H2supply chain was very competitive as a marinetransport solution for green hydrogen for distances2,000 nautical miles & remained competitive to 4,500nautical miles.
C-H2 was viewed as a simple and energy efficientsupply chain, benefitting from maintaining hydrogenin a pure gaseous form.
C-H2 had minimal technical barriers forcommercialisation to meet export market timelines.
C-H2 was seen as the ideal solution for volatility inrenewable generation, as it had the ability to “loadfollow”, whereas LH2 and NH3 could not.
CONCLUSIONS
100% GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN ANALYSIS
> Export volumes of 50,000; 200,000 & 400,000 tonnes pa
> Market distances of 2,000; 4,000 & 6,000 n. miles

1. Compression/Load: Compress and load green hydrogen directly from the electrolyser to the C-H2 ship at an operating pressure of250 bar. A C-H2 Ship is always berthed at the port and therefore eliminates the requirement for storage prior to loading.
2. C-H2 Shipping: Store and transport hydrogen in it’s pure gaseous form. Each C-H2 Ship has a storage capacity of 2,000 tonnes ofhydrogen and is powered by electric drive engines and onboard fuel cells (using hydrogen direct from ship’s cargo). The C-H2 ship isa closed system and does not result in any boil-off.
3. Decompression/Unload: C-H2 Ship unloads pure gaseous hydrogen to the customer for fuel cell applications. The ship unloadsunassisted (due to its high pressure cargo), with only minor scavenging compression required in the final stages.
3 Simple Steps to the C-H2 Supply Chain
C-H2 supply chain is simple and energy efficientLeverages the application of compression – a proven technology in H2 storage & transport
11
Efficiency of the supply chain has significant impact on delivered costC-H2 is the most energy efficient solution for delivery of H2 over regional distances
Energy Rating for C-H2, LH2 and NH3
Use (kWh / kg H2) Losses (% day)
Very High 10.0 + 2.0 + %
High 5.0 – 10.0 0.5 – 2 %
Moderate 1.0 – 5.0 0.2 – 0.5 %
Low Less than 1.0 Less than 0.2 %
KEY FINDINGS
> Compression is integral to allthree supply chains to increasethe volumetric energy densityof hydrogen.
> C-H2 supply chain has minimaltechnical barriers, with shipclassification approvals beingkey.
> LH2 supply chain is significantlymore complex with additionalenergy intensive processes aswell as onshore storagerequirements.
> NH3 supply chain usespredominately mature and well-developed technologies.However, if the end userrequires high purity hydrogen,then technical barriers exist tocrack and purify Ammonia.

Base Load vs Renewable Generation for Green Hydrogen Does our current base load thinking work for hydrogen?
> Solar and wind are both seen as the foundation for the world successfully moving towards a renewable hydrogen future.
> Renewable energy generation is not base load as we have enjoyed for LNG and Ammonia production via a secure, reliable supply of natural gas.
> C-H2 shipping fleet replaces the requirement for storage
> Why incur storage costs and energy penalties through liquefaction or ammonia when the C-H2 solution ships the “storage tank” directly to the customer.
Generation profiles of solar and wind have variable and volatile daily generation profiles

CNG Optimum - Energy efficient & low emission solution
18
Supports net-zero carbon targets as gas remains a transition fuel to lower emissions
> Case Example: “LNG: liquefaction-shipping-regasification” versus “CNG: compression-shipping-decompression”
> Based on the transportation of 200 MMscf/d (or ~1.5 mtpa LNG) of gas over a distance of 500 nautical miles (regional).
> Assuming all compression/liquefaction facilities are fuelled by natural gas
> GHD agrees that for the case presented, transporting the gas as CNG is a lower emissions intensive process than transporting the gas as LNG by a factor of approximately 3-4x (1)
Global oil & gas producers increasing their focus on ‘low emission’ solutions whilst maximising the economic value of oil and gas fields
Gas consumed as fuel for “full cycle”CNG: 5%LNG: 15%
CNG Optimum’s carbon footprint is expected to be at least 50% lower than that of LNG for the full cycle
(1) GHD | Report for Global Energy Ventures Ltd - GHG Emission Calculations, September 2020. For the case example presented by GEV below of a load of 200 MMscf of gas transported over a distance of 500 nautical miles, GHD agrees that the approach for calculating GHG emissions is appropriate. (2) CO2e or Carbon dioxide equivalent or is a term for describing different greenhouse gases in a common unit.
