Oslo, Norway -25 April 2023 CO2 Capsol today announces a new name - Capsol Technologies. The rebranding reflects the Company's move from offering one carbon capture solution to now having a portfolio of technology solutions leveraging the same energy-efficient core process. The broadening of the portfolio is an important step in the Company's preparation for global scale-up. As a part of the rebranding strategy and the strong growth prospects, the Company will also consider an uplisting from the Euronext Growth trading platform to the main list on theOslo Stock Exchange (Oslo Børs) within the current business year. The ticker at Euronext Growth Oslo remains unchanged: CAPSL. "Built on 20 years of Nordic carbon capture innovation and commercialisation, as we now have a wider selection of carbon capture technology offerings to our clients, this both expands our market opportunity and makes us more competitive," saidJan Kielland , CEO of Capsol Technologies. In addition to the already commercial CapsolEoPTM (End-of-Pipe) technology, Capsol Technologies is now developing its CapsolGT® offering for capturing carbon dioxide from open cycle gas turbines. This technology will make it possible to generate additional electricity while capturing more than 95% of the CO2 from exhaust gases of open cycle gas turbines. CapsolGT® is based on learning from ongoing projects, in collaboration with large international players. "Last year we won our first large-scale licensing agreement for the CapsolEoPTM technology at Stockholm Exergi, inStockholm, Sweden , and we had our first CapsolGo® demonstration unit in operation in Helsingborg,Sweden . When CapsolGT® is launched in the second half of 2023, it can replace the traditional steam cycle, reduce complexity, and introduce carbon capture as a revenue source," saidJan Kielland . Capsol Technologies' solutions are licensed out, either directly to customers or through global distribution partners. In addition to the CapsolGo® demonstration campaign inSweden , a second CapsolGo® demonstration campaign is operational inGermany with a major German energy company. Capsol Technologies opened its first office outsideNorway inBerlin during Q1 2023. "All industries across the globe are relevant for our technology solutions to achieve decarbonisation of operations. To reach the goal of net zero, theInternational Energy Agency estimates that a capacity for capturing 1 billion tonnes of CO2 is needed by 2030, calling for minimumEUR 21 billion of carbon capture technology capex to be sanctioned in the next eight years according to our estimates. We experience strong interest in especiallyEurope andNorth America , two regions where politicians use both regulations and incentives to encourage companies to invest in carbon removal technologies. While our name is new, our vision is the same: To accelerate the world's transition to a carbon-negative future," saidJan Kielland .CO2 Capsol AS will hold its Annual General Meeting on24 May 2023 , where the board of directors will propose to change the company name to Capsol Technologies AS.
