Project Development Highlights Q1 2023
Evolution Terminals B.V., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, is continuing to make significant progress in advancing its Green Energy Hub development project in the North Sea Port of Vlissingen, the Netherlands.

In January 2023, the Company concluded the development of an Integral Fire Protection Plan (known as the "IPB”) based on the design principals of the Evolution Terminals facility. The IPB will be further supplemented throughout the remaining development phases of the project.

In February 2023, soil sampling and stability testing on both the seabed and onshore was initiated and is now concluded for the foundations of the new jetty and onshore storage tank infrastructure.

In March 2023, the Company’s Project Management Team engaged several external consultants and specialists over two separate workshops to carry-out a detailed risk, hazard, and operability study to produce a "HAZID” report. The HAZID examines the design and operational characteristics of the future facility and is a risk identification study for supporting final design. The objective of the study was to identify safety and potential environmental risks and to determine and implement safeguarding and control measures to mitigate any risks identified.

Permits
The definitive Environmental Permit application was submitted in Q1 2023. The Construction Permit application for the initial phase ("Phase 1a”) of the Company’s development plan for Green Ammonia storage and all related infrastructure is in preparation and scheduled for submission within Q2 2023. The Construction Permit application is comprised of inputs and data from all recent studies and basic engineering efforts undertaken for sea, road and rail logistics infrastructure, storage tanks, storage tank foundations, office and workshop buildings and utilities. The Company will submit its Construction Permit application in stages according to the phases of the development plan and with consideration of commercial demand and customer operating requirements.

Engineering
The pre-FEED study that was awarded to Linde Engineering in November 2022 will conclude in May 2023 for Phase 1a Green Ammonia (NH3) infrastructure, which includes 150,000 cbm of ammonia capacity comprising of 5, 30,000 cbm refrigerated bulk storage tanks. The Company will continue in its strategy to parallel-track permitting and engineering efforts to ensure development timelines remain as efficient as practical in response to increasing commercial enquiries for Green Ammonia capacity booking. The Company anticipates awarding a full FEED contract for Phase 1a design shortly after conclusion and delivery of the pre-FEED.

Commercial
The Company is in advanced negotiations with several prospective customers that are seeking to secure storage and throughput capacity to facilitate imports of Green Ammonia into Western Europe from 2026 onwards. In Phase 2 of its development plan, the Company is planning to develop an integrated ammonia back-cracking plant to facilitate the cracking of Green Ammonia to Hydrogen gas, as a service for commercial customers wishing to transport and distribute Hydrogen imported as Ammonia, via the future European Hydrogen Backbone currently in development.
