Compression Replaces Complexity with Simplicity to Lower the Delivered Cost of Hydrogen
Analysis by the collaboration partners has highlighted that when customer demand is for hydrogen (not a derivative), regionally sourced hydrogen from the Nordics, transported through Provaris’ compressed hydrogen carriers, provides an efficient and cost-effective supply chain, limiting the losses in the entire chain from electrolyzer through to the distribution pipeline in Europe.
Lowering the energy consumption over the entire supply chain results in more renewable energy available for hydrogen production and higher volumes delivered.
Hydrogen Supply Chain Development
Provaris and Norwegian Hydrogen are collaborating on the development of the supply of RFNBO compliant hydrogen, which will be stored and transported using Provaris’ H2Neo carriers. Work is underway to outline the preferred sites in the Nordics, including Norway and Finland. Sites with a detailed feasibility include the FjordH2 Project located in the Alesund region, Norway.
Based on the proposed hydrogen volumes and shipping distance, the supply chain’s storage and shipping infrastructure using Provaris’ proprietary shipping solutions will include one (1) H2Leo barge storage at the production site, with a capacity of 450 tonnes of compressed hydrogen at 250 barg pressure, and two (2) H2Neo hydrogen carriers with an individual storage capacity of 450 tonnes of compressed hydrogen at 250 barg pressure. Provaris continues to progress both the H2Neo and H2Leo towards Final Class approvals in the first half of 2025.
Uniper will be responsible for the selection and development of the import terminal and are working with Provaris to outline the capital and operating equipment to discharge the H2Neo carriers, which includes an assessment of optimal storage and connection to the European Hydrogen Backbone for distribution to industrial sectors. Simplicity of port infrastructure provides for the flexibility of nominating one or more entry ports.
The Term Sheet remains conditional upon, among others, the negotiation and execution of a fully termed Hydrogen SPA and obtaining all necessary approvals.

Overview
Provaris (ASX:PV1) offers innovative storage and transport infrastructure essential to lowering the cost of hydrogen and CO₂ supply chains. With offices in Sydney and Oslo, the company is strategically focused on Europe, where decarbonization goals and energy security demand scalable and efficient clean energy solutions.
Provaris has developed a proprietary compressed hydrogen shipping solution designed to deliver “ready-to-use” green hydrogen with the lowest delivered cost for regional markets. Compression has been validated as the most energy- and cost-efficient method for hydrogen delivery, eliminating the need for complex conversion to carriers like ammonia. Studies show Provaris’ model delivers ~50 percent more hydrogen at ~20 percent lower cost compared to ammonia, with emissions well below EU RED II thresholds.
The company's “capital lite” model enables early cash flow and long-term recurring revenue through license and origination fees, without requiring ownership of ships or infrastructure. Each hydrogen supply project can generate ~US$34 million in total revenue for Provaris, including a technology license fee of ~US$16.5 million per project.
With binding commercial milestones targeted for 2025, including two supply agreements with German utilities totaling over 70,000 tonnes per annum of hydrogen, Provaris is well positioned to enable Europe’s transition to clean hydrogen. Europe's hydrogen import needs are forecast to reach 7 million tonnes (Mt) by 2030, with less than 1 percent of that currently supplied by low-carbon sources.
The company is also pioneering bulk liquid CO₂ tank technology in partnership with Yinson Production AS, opening a second stream of licensing revenue and addressing bottlenecks in carbon capture and storage infrastructure. This innovation aligns with Provaris’ mission to enable practical, efficient, and scalable zero-carbon energy supply chains across Europe and beyond.
Advanced Supply Chain Project Pipeline in Europe
Provaris is advancing several green hydrogen export projects from the Nordics to continental Europe:
- Norway: Two hydrogen export projects under MoUs with German utilities (Uniper and a second unnamed utility).
- Germany: Import infrastructure collaboration with utilities; aligned with TSO build-out and industrial decarbonization targets.
- Spain: Ongoing discussions with developers and offtake partners for hydrogen export hubs.
- Finland: Working with local partners to identify export-capable hydrogen production sites.
- The Netherlands: Joint pre-feasibility with Global Energy Storage (GES) for 40,000 tpa hydrogen import terminal in Rotterdam.
These projects underpin a cumulative pipeline of over 150 ktpa and demonstrate Provaris’ ability to meet Europe’s growing hydrogen demand.
Key Features and Benefits of Compressed Hydrogen
- Enhanced Safety: Provaris’ compressed hydrogen technology prioritizes safety in storage and transportation.
- Cost-effectiveness: By eliminating the need for complex liquefaction or ammonia synthesis processes, the company's solutions reduce overall costs.
- Scalability: The technology is adaptable to various project sizes, from regional supply chains to large-scale international exports.
- Environmental Sustainability: Compressed green hydrogen aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and transition to cleaner energy sources.
Multiple studies reaffirm the simplicity and efficiency of compressed hydrogen enables low-cost supply for Europe.
Innovative Hydrogen Vessel Designs: H2Neo Carrier and H2Leo Barge for export efficiency
Complementing its proprietary compressed hydrogen technology, Provaris is progressing the final design and classification approval phases of two purpose-built vessel types—the H2Neo Carrier and H2Leo Barge—designed to safely and efficiently transport compressed hydrogen across regional maritime routes.
These vessels are central to Provaris' strategy to unlock flexible and cost-effective green hydrogen supply chains. The H₂Neo Carrier is engineered with a cargo capacity of 27,000 cubic meters (equivalent to 450 tonnes of hydrogen at 250 bar pressure) and features a closed containment system that eliminates boil-off losses and minimizes emissions. FEED level design has been completed and approved by classification societies, including safety studies. Final Class approval is expected in 2025, aligning with the company’s targeted project final investment decisions in 2026.
H2Neo carrier solution together with barge storage for loading and discharge sites
The combination proprietary tank technology, automated shipbuilding processes, and flexible infrastructure options, Provaris offers a lower total cost of ownership and faster deployment compared to alternative hydrogen carriers such as ammonia or liquid hydrogen. These innovations position Provaris as a first mover in delivering safe, scalable, and cost-competitive maritime transport for green hydrogen across Europe.
Innovating CO2 Storage and Transport
As part of its commitment to sustainable energy solutions, Provaris is expanding its portfolio in 2024 to include CO₂ storage. This strategic move commenced with a ground-breaking partnership with Norway’s Yinson Production AS to bring innovation to liquid CO₂ storage and transport, for both maritime and onshore applications. Yinson is a US$3 billion global energy infrastructure leader in FPSOs and renewable technologies, having raised US$1.6 billion in late-2024 for growth funding, including the establishment of CO₂ supply chains.
A Joint Development Agreement (JDA) to develop new bulk liquid CO₂ (LCO2) tank designs for floating, onshore and ship-based storage applications, solves an industry bottleneck for CO₂ tank capacity limited to ~7,500 cbm. Targeting major gains in storage volume and reduced storage costs, tank designs at low pressure and temperature maximise storage and efficiency to reduce storage and transport costs.
Aligned with its technology license model for hydrogen, Yinson is funding Provaris’ development of new tank designs to be jointly owned and then licensed to owners of floating storage, shipping and land-based storage solutions, which will include Yinson.
In March 2025, Provaris completed a concept design for a large-volume, low-pressure tank solution, unlocking a new stream of license fee revenue. The initial license fee of US$200,000 has already been received, and further payments are anticipated as development progresses.
Milestones for June 2025 include the completion of Phase 2 of the JDA which will include a type rating approval of a LCO2 tank and integrated with Yinson’s development of a Floating Storage Injection Unit (FSIU) proposed for the use in offtshore CCS injection projects under development in Europe and Asia.

Provaris Energy’s Capital-light Shift Unlocks Growth in Hydrogen and CO₂ Transport, Report Says
With key agreements in place, new revenue streams emerging, and an expanded valuation outlook, Provaris is well-positioned for growth in the global clean energy market.
Illustration of the Regional Supply locations from the Nordic Region into North-West European ports with hydrogen import development plans linked to the future development of Germany’s core hydrogen network
Key Highlights from the Report:
Building Blocks for Hydrogen and CO₂ Transport in Place
Provaris has secured foundational agreements to advance its hydrogen and CO2 transport solutions. This includes a 42,000 tpa hydrogen supply chain agreement with Uniper and Norwegian Hydrogen, a 30,000 tpa supply deal from Norway to a German utility, and a joint development agreement with Yinson Production Offshore for a 5 mtpa CO2 transport project targeted for the end of the decade.
Capital-light Model to Reduce Funding Needs
Adopting a capital-light model, Provaris will generate licence and origination fees while avoiding the need to fund vessel construction directly. This approach lowers financial risk while maintaining long-term participation in the sector.
Licence Fees Unlock Near-term Revenue
Provaris will now earn a 5 percent technology licence fee on the capital expenditure of its H2Neo hydrogen carrier and H2Leo hydrogen barge, providing upfront revenue during the 30-month construction period. Once operational, the company targets a 5 percent free-carried equity ownership, allowing further financial participation.
Revised Forecasts and Increased Valuation
The updated financial model anticipates technology licence revenue as early as FY 2027, earlier than previous forecasts. Longspur Clean Energy has raised its base-case valuation slightly from AU$0.07 to AU$0.08, with a single CO2 project pushing this to AU$0.13. A larger-scale Norwegian hydrogen project could drive a high-case valuation of AU$0.15. The lower capital requirements under the new model increase the feasibility of new projects, improving confidence in higher valuation scenarios.

Troy Minerals Reports Drilling Results from the Lake Owen Project, Wyoming
Troy Minerals Inc. ("Troy" or the "Company") (CSE:TROY)(OTCQB:TROYF)(FSE:VJ3) is pleased to announce that complete results from Hole LO24-01 show strong critical metal mineralization over continuous 240.73 meters (from 10.67 meters to 251.40 meters) from its maiden drilling program on its 100% owned Lake Owen Project (the "Project"), located 50 km southwest of Laramie, Wyoming, USA (see Figures 1,2).
The Project is a Proterozoic layered mafic intrusion complex historically explored for Platinum Group Elements (PGE). Similar to the Stillwater Complex in the USA and the Merensky Reef of South Africa, the Lake Owen Complex shows strong potential for vanadium, titanium, PGE, and associated metals.
In late 2024, the Company drilled two diamond holes totaling 607.77 meters near the southwestern claims' boundary (see Figure 3), marking Troy Minerals' first drill holes on the Project. These holes targeted titanium (TiO2) and vanadium (V2O5) mineralization linked with magnetite in gabbro, as well as reef-style PGE mineralization (see Company News Release dated February 28, 2025).
A first pass of selective sampling of the drill holes had been carried out and demonstrated presence of anomalous titanium and vanadium mineralization. Elevated values of vanadium are correlative with the titanium. Sampling was selected to assess various lithological units and all zones with magnetite content up to 15-20% and/or visible sulfide mineralization. Magnetite content in the gabbro in hole LO24-01 is consistently about 5-10%. In LO24-01, the initially limited sampling suggested a large zone of titanium and vanadium-enrichment and higher relative values correlate well with the green gabbro. Associated with these anomalous zones have been elevated concentrations of scandium.
Based on these initial results, additional infill sampling through all prospective lithologies was carried out by Company personnel in January, 2025. Results exhibit robust critical metal mineralization over 240.73 meters in hole LO24-01, including:
- 1.53% TiO2
- 0.10% V2O3
- 16.0% Fe (total Iron, mainly in Fe Oxides)
- 69.7 ppm (or g/t) Sc2O3
- 26.2 ppm (or g/t) Ga2O3
Concurrent with Company infill sampling, geologists from the USGS and Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) collected samples for Whole Rock, Major Oxides, and thin section analyses. Results of the USGS and WSGS work are pending.

Figure 2 - Claim Map, Lake Owen Project"Our recent geological and geophysical findings, coupled with promising initial drilling results, are significantly enhancing our confidence in the Lake Owen Project. Each new insight reinforces our belief that this project deserves a robust exploration budget in the near future." Said Yannis Tsitos, President of Troy. "Beyond the historically recognized high grades of iron, titanium, and vanadium, the recent discovery of scandium and gallium-critical metals essential for applications in metal alloys, military and civil aviation, semiconductors, electric vehicles, and solar panels-underscores the project's immense potential for both our Company and the State of Wyoming in USA. We are committed to maximizing shareholder value through strategic development plans for Lake Owen, alongside our silica and rare earth element (REE) initiatives."

LO24-02 | 403004 | 4553382 | 2732 | 326.44 | 210 | -45 |
Drill hole LO24-01 was designed to test the extent of the Lower Mag Gabbro down to the basement contact. Drilling revealed a series of interlayered magnetic gabbro and a distinctive coarse-grained green gabbro. The green coloration is imparted by pyroxenes altering to chlorite. These layers are generally constrained to widths of less than 4 metres.

Drill core was detail logged and sampled by Company staff. Core was split by saw with samples sent to ALS Global's laboratory in Reno, NV for preparation and analysis. Samples were analyzed for multi-elements (ME-MS61). The Company's quality control monitoring consisted of inserting certified reference and blank material in the sample stream. No quality control issues were identified.
Only a very small portion of the Lake Owen Complex and therefore our Claims has been drill-tested to date. As currently mapped, the prospective Lower Mag Gabbro unit continues along strike to the west. The Company has yet to drill test the stratigraphically higher Upper Mag Gabbro. Surface mapping and sampling in 2023 identified two massive magnetite rock samples that returned 8.812% TiO2 and 0.548% V2O5, and 15.505% TiO2 and 0.586% V2O5 respectively (Figure 5). These represent priority drill targets for 2025. An historical drill hole was completed here not by Troy, but there was no assessment of titanium, vanadium, or scandium.
Figure 5 - Surface Rock Sampling - Titanium Values (part of the Project)Troy Minerals is planning its summer fieldwork for the Lake Owen Project. After analyzing airborne geophysical data, as reported in the May 21, 2025 news release, Troy will collect soil samples and conduct geological mapping and sampling. The aim is to refine drill targets for the 2026 season, including a relevant drilling pads application.

Troy Minerals Reports Ongoing Geophysical Studies at the Lake Owen Project, Wyoming
Figure 1. Lake Owen, Location Map, Wyoming, USA
Recent maiden drilling results by Troy (announced on February 28th, 2025) have confirmed the presence of high concentrations of vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂), along with the discovery of scandium (a REE metal), significantly enhancing the project's critical mineral profile.
Lake Owen is supported by the US Geological Survey (USGS)'s Earth MRI (Earth Mapping Resources Initiative), which is delivering key geoscientific data and helping reduce exploration costs. As part of this initiative, a high resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey has been flown by USGS covering Troy's Claims and the raw data have become available to the Company. This federal backing highlights the project's strategic importance within the US critical minerals landscape.
Troy has engaged Geophysics One Inc. of Ontario, Canada, to evaluate, process, model and interpret the magnetic and radiometric data in conjunction with any available in-house geoscience data provided by the Company.
Figure 2. Lake Owen Project, Troy's Claims on Topo Map
Key Aspects of the Airborne Geophysical Survey
- The Lake Owen Project area was surveyed by EON Geosciences Inc. for the USGS, using an airborne total-field magnetic and radiometric method in 2021.
- Most of the 16,400 line-km helicopter survey was flown at 200m intervals, with the Lake Owen Complex subset infilled at 100m line separation in 2023 (see Figure 3, 4).
- Despite the 100m interval, the nominal altitude was high at 80m, averaging 107.4m within the property and ranging from 78m to 180m. Overall, the data quality is very good.
- Emphasis is placed on mapping magnetite-rich zones from the high-resolution magnetic data due to the area's mineralization being concentrated within cumulus magnetite-rich layers. Work and interpretation will be completed with enhanced magnetic images and a 3D magnetic model of the data that reveal remarkably consistent rhythmic magnetic layers and extending 10 km or more laterally, including the entire length of the Lake Owen property.
- High magnetization zones aid geological mapping and exploration of the Lake Owen property, particularly in areas with increased magnetite content and inferred structural zones.
- The radiometric response from the mafic complex is minimal and will be used only for mapping purposes, such as identifying cover and defining the Lake Owen Complex' extents. However, a few interesting anomalies will be analyzed to provide context for exploration targeting.
- Geophysics One, beyond general interpretation maps, will provide to Troy all magnetic and radiometric product maps, as well as 2D & 3D modelling in selected cases.
