Vow Green Metals (the "Company"), a leading developer of production facilities
for biocarbon and other carbon-neutral products, and Vardar AS, a regional
renewable energy producer with operations and ownership within bioenergy, CCU,
wind, solar and hydropower, have signed a long-term energy offtake agreement
securing offtake of all excess energy produced from the production facility at
Hønefoss.  

Vardar operates the district heating network in the Hønefoss region through its
subsidiary Vardar Varme AS and distributes thermal energy at Treklyngen
Industrial Park where the large-scale biocarbon production facility is under
development.  

In relation to the completed infrastructure work on the plot of the facility,
Vardar Varme invested in district heating pipes connecting the production plant
to its district heating network, enabling energy offtake under the terms of the
signed energy offtake agreement. Vow Green Metals is expecting to deliver about
45 GWh from the facility on an annual basis. 

The large-scale biocarbon production facility at Hønefoss will become one of
Europe's largest, with its 20,000 tons production capacity and abatement
potential of 100,000 tons of fossil CO2 p.a.
