8 COMPANY PROFILE SECTOR EXPORT 8 Sector Export Increasing the penetration of variable renewable power sources (solar PV and wind) in the grid is a major pathway for reducing dependency on fossil fuels. However at times of low electricity demand, the availability of renewables can exceed that which can be safely admitted without causing grid stability issues. If at these times the renewable power sources are simply shed, the economic justification for increasing the renewables penetration is severely compromised. To overcome this requires energy storage technologies to be deployed to absorb variable renewable power. Energy stored in the form of hydrogen is a means for achieving not only a greener power system but a greener energy system as a whole. Electrolysers can convert variable and otherwise wasted renewable power into clean green hydrogen which can be used for generating power, heat and transport fuel without carbon emissions. Electrolysers may be activated during defined periods to aid power system management and the generated hydrogen exported to the industrial and transport sectors. Importantly this Sector Export can serve to reduce the carbon footprint of sectors beyond the power industry. Wind is an energy source on par with oil and gas and we are pleased to support ITM Power in the development of its Transportable High Pressure Hydrogen Refuelling Station to demonstrate the proposition of decarbonising vehicle fleets, using hydrogen derived from wind energy. This fits well with Vestas goal of generating the greatest and most sustainable return on wind for our customers. Keith Sexton R&D, Vestas Technology The global car industry is now focussed on the finalisation of fuel cell cars for commercial launch in Unlike battery electric vehicles (BEV), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) can be refuelled rapidly and achieve a similar range to petrol cars. These vehicles can be served by hydrogen refuelling technology based on electrolysers, which transform variable renewable power inputs into a storable fuel without incurring carbon emissions. There is thus a synergistic opportunity to satisfy this imminent market for hydrogen and overcome the grid management issues faced by the power industry in meeting the renewables targets. ITM Power is leading the development and deployment of technologies which advance the realisation of energy storage for renewable power and particularly the use of hydrogen generated from electrolysis and used in the transport sector.

This is an exciting trial for SSE as it will give us a much clearer picture of the role of hydrogen for storing energy and as a clean fuel." David Densley Head of Sustainable Transport, SSE

10 COMPANY PROFILE SECTOR EXPORT 10 Sector Export Germany is clearly the leading centre for hydrogen infrastructure development in Europe and ITM Power is now fully engaged with the key players. Germany s renewed emphasis on renewable energy following its review of nuclear technology is focusing attention on energy storage and the use of hydrogen in particular. This is a very exciting time for the Company. Phil Doran Managing Director ITM Power GmbH Germany One of the key questions we have to answer, is how can we build a hydrogen infrastructure that takes advantage of renewable energies? Taking wind or solar power and transforming it into hydrogen and then refuelling vehicles with that hydrogen is actually the key towards sustainable mobility. In this context ITM Power is offering an interesting concept for utilities to store energy and to work around fluctuations generated when they deploy renewable energies. Dr. Klaus Bonhoff Managing Director, NOW

11 ITM POWER PLC COMPANY PROFILE CLEAN FUEL ENERGY STORAGE SECTOR EXPORT 11 Energy storage will be the critical component in future energy systems and ITM Power is at the centre of this technology. There will be many solutions to the energy storage conundrum and all of the solutions will be required if we are to harness renewable energy successfully. As more intermittent renewable power is assimilated into the network we will see an increasing occurrence of this plant being 'constrained off'. The need for energy storage and the sector export of energy will become increasingly apparent. An example is Denmark, where 20% of the generating capacity is wind but only a small percentage of the demand can be met with that wind power, the rest has to be exported to Sweden or Norway or wasted. ITM Power s technology provides an efficient means of converting excess power and storing it as hydrogen, to be used when needed. ITM Power s HFuel product can be used as a flexible load which can be operated by power companies to absorb excess power. The use of hydrogen electrolysis and storage to manage the grid means that we would never have to cease renewable energy production. The market for the hydrogen produced from renewable electricity is potentially huge. It is the market for a zero carbon footprint fuel. The adoption of hydrogen in countries like Germany is now rapid and we urge the UK Government to look again at this important opportunity for the UK. ITM are proud to be pioneering tomorrow s solutions to today s energy problems.

30 COMPANY PROFILE TECHNOLOGY 30 Technology ITM Power operate a rigorous testing programme. This takes place at three levels of increasing sophistication, each in a specially equipped laboratory. The first is small scale testing of membranes and MEAs. This covers numerous chemistries and catalysts concurrently as part of our core project work to underpin both our longevity programmes and funded programmes. The second level of testing focuses on full-size cells and stack. This laboratory has been crucial to demonstrate that the technology scaled up successfully and verified the function of our stacks. It continues to perform a key role in analysing stack performance over a range of operating profiles and is a fundamental stage in our QC process. The third laboratory undertakes product testing. At this stage the emphasis is on qualifying successful system integration and quality control of full scale products and prototypes. In addition to a series of routine system tests which are undertaken on each product, we also monitor responses to a range of continuous and cyclic test profiles. In the six month period since the interim results, we have acquired over half a million cumulative test hours in these facilities. Decarbonising our vehicle fleet and reducing tail pipe pollutants is vitally important to our clients and for our operations in urban areas across the South East of England. We are very pleased to be joining ITM Power s hydrogen trials as we continue to look at options for utilising renewable power for zero carbon emission vehicles.

34 COMPANY PROFILE PRODUCTS 34 Products We are starting now to move from ideas to products, at first it was ideas, then projects and now we see real products, this means that the market for hydrogen and fuel cells is maturing. The great advantage of what ITM brings to the market is that they have an electrolyser which can allow the absorption of the very heavy fluctuating renewable energy directly to their stack; and that s a real advantage, coupling of electrolysis and renewables is a real breakthrough. Hugo Vandenborre Electrolyser Inventor and Entrepreneur We are particularly delighted to have achieved full CE compliance for HBox following the recent full CE approvals for the HPac and HFlame products. In fact, it represents a world first in terms of pressurised, passive electrolyser systems. Dr Graham Cooley CEO, ITM Power

35 ITM POWER PLC COMPANY PROFILE CLEAN FUEL ENERGY STORAGE PRODUCTS 35 At the heart of every electrolyser system is a stack. This key component provides the mechanical and electrical environment where water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. ITM Power has invested significant effort in the design, assembly methodology and testing of its stacks to achieve robust and reliable platforms. Significant intellectual property has been generated and successfully deployed during this process. In addition to the stack, an electrolyser product requires numerous additional attributes including dedicated balance of plant, control system and packaging. All of this must be achieved against a background of compliance in order to gain the CE mark required for commercial sale in the EU. The ITM Power team is well equipped to navigate the product development process having successfully initiated the trial of the HFuel hydrogen refuelling system in March and established three new CE marked electrolyser products for launch in April this year turning technology into viable products.
