NEL ASA
• Public, listed company on Oslo Stock Exchange
• Business established by Norsk Hydro in 1927
• Decades of experience in designing hydrogen energy systems and refuelling stations
• More than 500 water electrolysers sold to customers in more than 50 countries
• Production in Notodden, Corporate office in Oslo, Norway
• Significant growth opportunities within hydrogen as an energy carrier

OUR 3 COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Large Robust Efficient
7
1 EFFICIENT – MORE HYDROGEN PER KWH
• NEL has currently the most energy efficient water electrolyser in the market*
• High efficiency due to design & non-patented active coating
*EU-report, 2014: Development of Water Electrolysis in the European Union
8
2 ROBUST – BUILT TO LAST
• Basis from 87 years of experience
• Uncomplicated and reliable operation
• Low need for maintenance shutdowns
• Cell stack replacement after 7 years, system lifetime 30+ years
9
3 LARGE – SIZE MATTERS
• By increasing plant size from 250kW to 2,5MW, capex for production capacity reduced by >60%.
10
SIZE MATTERS – COST EXAMPLE:
• Typical size for demo-projects • CAPEX: ~0.5 M EUR | 67 M YEN • ~2 000 EUR/ kW | 268,000 YEN/kW
250 kW | 50 Nm3/h 2,2 MW | 485 Nm3/h
• One large electrolyser unit
• CAPEX: ~1,5 M EUR | 200 M YEN
• ~680 EUR/kW | 91,000 YEN/kW
11
SIZE MATTERS - COST EXAMPLE:
10 MW | 2250 Nm3/h 50 MW | 10800 Nm3/h
• 5 large electrolyser units
• CAPEX: ~5,5 M EUR | 736 M YEN
• ~550 EUR/kW | 74,000 YEN/kW
• 24 large electrolyser units
• Set up as 6 separate production lines
• CAPEX: ~€ 25 M EUR | 3347 M YEN
• ~500 EUR/kW | 67,000 YEN/kW

HYDROGEN VEHICLES ARE BEING INTRODUCED
• Hyundai, Toyota, Honda, BMW, Daimler, GM, Nissan, Ford and Volkswagen are all expected to launch hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) before 2020
• Formidable cost reductions enable introduction: “The Toyota Mirai’s powertrain is 95% cheaper to build than the fuel-cell system in the 2008 Highlander fuel cell SUV”1

HYDROGEN IN THE NORWEGIANENERGY SYSTEM:
1. Maximises utilization of the electric grid 2. Provides «home made» renewable fuel 3. Doubles the biogas potential 4. Makes our natural gas greener 5. Secures future energy export
WILL PLAY A MAJOR PART!
