3 EXPANDING INTERNATIONAL COVERAGE 3

4 LEADING SINCE 1963 OPERATING INCOME NOK MILLION 2016 Established a separate business unit for Hydrogen storage and transportation systems. 4

5 HEXAGON IS WELL POSITIONED ACROSS THE HYDROGEN VALUE CHAIN Hexagon is currently offering composite Hydrogen tanks for a wide range of applications Hexagon Offering 5

6 OVERVIEW OF HYDROGEN ACTIVITIES IN HEXAGON COMPOSITES ASA 6

7 BATTERY + FUEL CELL ELECTRIC VEHICLES NEEDED TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE Fuel Range Advantages Electricity Fill time: 4-10 hours Station fills: 1-3 cars/day 75 miles on a charge (2013 Nissan Leaf and Ford Focus Electric) 300 (Tesla) Best for short range Home refueling No tailpipe emission Hydrogen Fill time: 5-7 min Station fills: 50+cars/day 310 (2014 Toyota Fuel Cell) 372 (2015 Hyundai Fuel Cell) Range as traditional fuel Fill time as traditional fuel Lower weight and volume 1 Lower investment 1 No tailpipe emission Potentially lower overall emissions No reduced efficiency in cold climate 1 Assuming comparable range Sources: FuelEconomy.gov, C.E.Thomas, PhD, H 2 Gen Innovations, Inc 7

8 TRANSPORTATION CONCEPT H 2 STORE Hydrogen transportation and storage modules Renewable energy input H2 production H2 refueling station H2 H2 Wind Solar Hydro Refueling stations Other users of H2 H2 Flow of Hydrogen through the renewable value chain 8

9 TRANSPORT MODULE The ADR solution for Europe Type 4 gas transportation module Fast exchange of SWAP bodies Capacity adjustable to customer demands ADR: European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road 9

10 TECHNICAL DATA - SMARTSTORE Typical concept consists of 40 cylinders. (Water volume L) Capacity for 320 kg H2. Operating pressure 250 bar. Length of each module: 20 (~ 6m) Collaboration with different suppliers for the frame (container) in Europe 10

11 TECHNICAL DATA TITAN TRAILERS TITAN 5 MAGNUM TRAILERS 5 TITAN tanks + 9 TUFFSHELL tanks 44,000 liter volume 802 kg of H2 250 bar Integrated trailer chassis GVW: <70,000 lbs (31,8 t) with CHG Used in tandem operation in Mexico 2577 l 11

12 HEXAGON IS A GLOBAL LEADER IN CNG & H2 STORAGE TECHNOLOGY Hexagon Hydrogen tanks build on proven CNG experience 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 12

13 HANDLING FC BACKUP POWER IS MUCH EASIER BECAUSE OF THE LOW WEIGHT 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) 53 kg 13 kg 30 kg Hydrogen cylinder Li-ion battery Lead acid battery Hydrogen backup power is not only lighter, it is also lower cost than battery backup Hydrogen backup power is evaluated by operator of sensitive infrastructure to be a more reliable than any other options 13

14 TRAIN AN EMERGING OPPORTUNITY Market driven due to need to replace diesel driven locomotives 1 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 1) 14

15 MARINE AN EMERGING OPPORTUNITY Market driven due to need to replace fossil fuel in short sea and ferries 1 1 st battery electric ferry in Norway in operation (MS Ampere) Photo: Norled Batteries will only cover a certain range, and might require heavy investment in landside buffer batteries for charging (too low effect in grid) Fuel cell in hybrid with batteries will be the solution for several applications Channel boat Holland (2009) with Hexagon T4 tanks Hexagon is already engaged in projects 1) 15

18 HEXAGON POSITIONED IN 5 H2 SUB-SEGMENTS RANGING FROM 200 TO 1000 BAR PRESSURE 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 18

19 CODES & STANDARDS PARTICIPATION A MARKET ENABLER Hexagon participates in 14 C&S committees worldwide CSA: HGV2 (fuel containers) + HPRD1 (PRDs) Automotive Technical Council (oversees other hydrogen activity) SAE: J2579 (officially joined last year) ISO TC 197: ISO/TS 15869; ISO/WD (fuel containers) ISO/WD (TPRDs) ISO/CD 15399; ISO/WD (stationary H2 vessels) DIN Mirror Committee ASME (Hexagon chair) X Composite pressure vessels for transportation and ground storage ISO TC58: ISO (hydrogen compatibility) No other cylinder manufacturer participates in regulatory development to the extent Hexagon Composites does: Highly respected by peers, competitors and government officials Establishes the framework by which Type IV tanks compete favorably in the marketplace ISO TC 58/ SC3: ISO (gas cylinders) ISO (transportable tubes) ISO (large transportable tubes, permanently mounted [e.g. Titan]) (Hexagon chair) WG24 (safety Hexagon chair) 19

20 H2 RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT Funded Research projects European based [FCH-JU and The Research Council of Norway (NFR)]: HyPactor Effect of Impact on Composite performance FireComp Effect of Fire on Composite performance HyTransfer H2 transfer from one to another receptacle HyComp Understanding on Composite Performance DeliverHy Optimization of Hydrogen transport Phaedrus Electrochemical compressors + Refueling Station Optimization 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. 20

21 H2 RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT Internal H2 Liner project 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 21

22 SUMMARY & OUTLOOK Hexagon has established separate hydrogen business unit to lead development of a new high-growth market niche The market potential for compressed hydrogen tanks is significant driven by fuel cell electric vehicles Adjacent market demand in marine, rail and backup power will further increase demand Demonstrated technology solutions create barriers to entry that protect profitability and market share Hydrogen is a major growth opportunity, and Hexagon is well positioned to take a leading role 22
