PECC2 AND H&M SIGN A COOPERATION AGREEMENT UNDER THE DPPA MECHANISM On the morning of November 19, 2024, H&M Vietnam and Power Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company 2 (PECC2) signed a cooperation agreement under the DPPA (Direct Power Purchase Agreement) mechanism. The event marks an important step towards the sustainable development goal of the international fashion house. The signing ceremony took place at the PECC2 Innovation Hub headquarters, with the participation of Ms. Jessica Vilhelmsson – Regional Manager of H&M and Mr. Nguyen Hai Phu – Deputy General Director of PECC2, as well as representatives of relevant departments. Within the framework of the work program and signing, H&M's delegation visited the BESS system installed at the PECC2 Innovation Hub building, the Power Plant Operation and Control Center (PECC2-OCC) and the Digital Competency Center (PECC2-DCC), to see the application of technology in remote plant operation management and the application of digitalization in the power plant works. The event marks a new beginning for PECC2 as it is the first DPPA cooperation agreement signed with a major global fashion brand, contributing to H&M's access to clean electricity at an affordable cost. With the mission of promoting a clean and sustainable energy transition, PECC2 has been developing renewable energy projects to provide green and clean electricity to large enterprises such as H&M through the DPPA mechanism, helping customers access cooperation opportunities in the field of renewable energy. Through the DPPA mechanism, PECC2 is committed to accompanying businesses to bring added value, ensuring long-term benefits for all parties. -------------------------- Power Engineering Consulting Joint Stock Company 2

Next up to join our programme of speakers at the '4th Design and Development of Zero-Emission Off-Highway Machinery Summit' is Tobias Stöcker - Sustainability Manager at GMB and Core Team Member of Emissieloos Netwerk Infra (ENI). Tobias will share his wealth of experience and discuss his ‘Real-life experience with ZE machinery and lessons learned regarding standards and sustainability.’ Tobias Stöcker is an expert in the field of sustainability and in recent years has focused on the energy and technology transition on the construction site, especially within the infrastructure sector. He is a core team member of ENI (Zero Emission Network), an ecosystem of all parties involved in those transitions. ENI is leading the sector in addressing the implications that the electrification of machinery has on work methods, design choices, and contracting procedures. Helping clients, contractors, grid operators and other parties to redefine their roles and activities in this transition. Informing (OEM) producers on the requirements for future-proof machinery.

One step closer to climate neutrality…

Decommissioning and removal of the offshore oil and gas platforms is one of the largest challenges on the Norwegian Continental Shelf in the coming decades, and will cost the Norwegian society hundreds of billions of Norwegian kroner (in UK estimated to be more than 40 B£, and half due in the next 10 years), mostly to be paid by our children and grand children. How to make most value of these offshore gigantic installations by giving them second life through repurposing and reuse in order to maximize value creation is an urgent topic to be addressed by the stakeholders. Research and innovation is needed to develop new solutions for the future sustainable utilization and end-of-the-life of these offshore installations. Welcome to the SFI REPO seminar to brain-storming solutions to reduce future decommissioning cost, minimize environmental impact at the same time reach circularity. Info and sign up below.

We are proud to announce that our project, "Innovative Fuel Cell/Battery-Based Hybrid Zero-Emission Power System for Maritime Transport," has received funding from Innovation Norway under the Bilateral Cooperation in the Green Transition Call 2024. This achievement highlights our commitment to advancing the green transition. In this project, consortium partners—including the National Research and Development Institute for Cryogenic and Isotopic Technologies (ICSI), the Institute for Energy Technology, Cadran Technologies, Segula Technologies - O&G Energy Division, and the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, Pitești University Centre—aim to drive the transition toward zero-emission maritime transport. The goal is to develop an innovative, efficient, scalable, and cost-effective hybrid zero-emission power system at the proof-of-concept level, utilizing hydrogen fuel cells and battery energy storage system for maritime applications. The project also aims to facilitate knowledge and technology transfer, share experience and best practices, and raise awareness about the benefits of adopting green technologies. To support this, two workshops and two technical seminars will be organized.

Our member VARD has set a clear direction to lead the green and technological transition in maritime operations ⛴️ Through their integrated value chain VARD is a one stop shop with in-house competence which gives them control over the whole process and makes it easier for them and their partners to obtain sustainable business at sea. Headquarted in Norway and with over 8 000 employees globally, VARD operates 7 shipyards and have several subisiairis and entities. Håvard Lien, vice president Research and Innovation in VARD, says: -The shift to a sustainable future at sea with zero emission ships is made possible by combining innovation and out of the box thinking with solid shipbuilding experience. Our offshore wind vessels are ready and prepared for renewable energy, making VARD contributing to reaching the optimal solution to minimize the environmental footprint of SOVs, which are used for crew transfers and logistics in relation to wind turbine maintenance. The SOVs account for a high proportion of emissions in wind farm operations, and our innovative Ocean Charger product enables these vessels to charge their batteries on-site.

Today I joined the Panel discussion in European Parliament for Hydrogen in the Baltic Sea Region: ”The Baltic Sea Region at the forefront of innovation.” South West Finland like Baltic Sea Region has a great potential in the #hydrogen economy. South West Finland has over a dozen companies working on hydrogen solution. We hold expertise in further processing hydrogen, e.g. marine fuels and high-value end products, like raw materials for polymers and chemicals.
