Industrial emitters are no longer asking whether
to cut emissions, but how. As demand continues to build,
Capsol is scaling solutions that make carbon capture
more accessible, profitable and impactful —turning
decarbonization into a competitive advantage.
When I recently asked a client’s CEO why they are investing in
carbon capture and storage (CCS), the answer was immediate:
“Our customers are demanding a decarbonized product.”
The business case for CCS is strengthening. Capsol’s lower
capture costs, driven by energy efficiency and process simplicity, can
already make many projects profitable. As the carbon capture value
chain matures, increasing economies of scale in transportation and
storage will further improve project economics. At the same time, broader
industry dynamics—such as the maturing carbon removal credit market,
expected higher carbon prices and the rising demand for low
carbon products with price premiums—are reinforcing the case for
decarbonization and driving adoption.
Building an industry leader
Our strategy is clear: we license our innovative, heat-generating carbon
capture technology in the form of full-scale plant design to capture 100,000
to over 1 million tonnes of CO per year. By significantly reducing electricity
consumption, we enable large-scale carbon capture at a lower cost.
Capsol has reached a commercial inflection point in biomass,
energy -from-waste, and cement, where we are emerging as a preferred
carbon capture technology over industry incumbents. With the largest
team dedicated to Hot Potassium Carbonate (HPC) post-combustion
carbon capture, partnerships with industry pioneers, and a presence in
key growth markets in Europe and North America, we are positioned for
leadership. Our long-term ambition is a 5–10% market share in technology
licensing, with expected revenues of EUR 10–15 per tonnes CO captured
and a pre-tax profit margin of 40–60%.
Momentum is building. Our mature project pipeline grew 45% to 17.2
million tonnes of CO capture capacity last year, representing EUR 260
million in potential licensing revenue. Within the next three years, 80% of
this pipeline could reach Final Investment Decision (FID).
Expanding our offering and market reach
In 2024, we further developed our carbon capture technologies to meet
the needs of an even broader range of large-scale emitters.
A key milestone was the completion of the first pre-FEED study for
CapsolGT®, our solution for CO capture from simple cycle gas turbines.

CEO Comment
generating additional electricity, CapsolGT® has the potential to generate
net-positive returns for emitters and support low-carbon power generation with
simple cycle gas turbines.
We also established a presence in North America, the world’s largest CCS market,
in line with our global expansion strategy.
Strategic partnerships remain central to our approach. Over the past year, we have
strengthened collaborations with Petrofac, Storegga,
Sumitomo SHI FW, Siemens Energy, GE Vernova, and Munters enabling us to
accelerate technology development, optimize costs, and scale
adoption.
Bio-CCS: look to Sweden
A major milestone in 2024 was Capsol’s first technology licensing revenue, booked
from Stockholm Exergi, which is developing the world’s first large-scale bioenergy
with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) project using our technology.
Stockholm Exergi is on track to reach FID this year. Achieving this milestone will
be a critical validation of Capsol’s technology, strengthening confidence among
other clients.
This flagship project demonstrates how negative emissions at scale are becoming
a reality. It has been made possible by a growing carbon removal credit market,
well-structured government support, and cost-efficient capture technology—and
is a project being closely followed by biomass and
energy-from-waste plants worldwide.
Market momentum
The business case for carbon capture is becoming more market driven.
BloombergNEF (BNEF) forecasts that EU carbon prices (ETS) will rise from ~EUR
70 today to EUR 135–155 per tonnes by 2030, further strengthening the financial
rationale for CCS.
In February 2025, the European Commission announced the Clean Industrial Deal,
which integrates climate action with industrial competitiveness under one
overarching growth strategy. This commitment to decarbonization,
reindustrialization, and innovation provides further tailwinds for carbon capture
adoption. Acceptance of price premiums for low carbon products is also rising.
A McKinsey survey of over 100 buyers and suppliers found that demand for low
carbon materials is expected to increase between 1.7 to 4.5 times current levels by
2030. This willingness to pay along with increasing government criteria for public
procurement to buy lower-carbon products reinforces the long-term demand for
CCS.
Strengthening our platform for value creation
As we move into 2025, our focus remains on:
• Scaling commercial success by securing additional technology licensing
agreements and maturing customer projects with engineering and onsite
demonstrations
• Strengthening partnerships to drive innovation and expand market reach
• Enhancing our technology platform to deliver more value to emitters
To support this, we are beginning to develop high-value recurring revenue
services, including digital monitoring, performance tracking, solvent services,
additive development, and expert support.
The progress we made in 2024—and the opportunities ahead—would not be
possible without our customers, employees, shareholders, partners, suppliers,
and stakeholders across the CCS value chain.
I look forward to continuing this journey together - decarbonizing industry with
competitive and innovative solutions.

Introduction
Capsol Technologies is a carbon capture technology
provider based in Oslo, Norway, with offices in the U.S. and
Germany committed to accelerating the transition to a
net zero future. The company’s energy-efficient,
cost-competitive and environmentally friendly solutions
are licensed out either directly to customers or through
industrial partners globally. Carbon capture enables
industrial facilities to remove CO from its production
process flue gases, thus preventing the CO from being
emitted into the atmosphere. The captured CO can either
be utilized or permanently stored. The carbon capture
market is experiencing increased activity and is expected
to grow rapidly driven by the world’s need to curb CO
emissions, limit global warming, and avoid irreversible
climate change and an increasingly strong business case
for emitters to invest in CCS. Capsol’s commercially
available carbon capture technologies offer three distinct
advantages:
• Inherent heat recovery enhances energy efficiency,
lowers operational costs, and enables an additional
revenue stream for district heating installations
• Stand-alone capture unit simplifies integration,
reducing both capital expenditures and integration risks
• Non-toxic, near non-degradable solvent with superior
Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) performance
simplifies permitting
Capsol’s current key segments include cement, biomass,
energy-from-waste and gas turbines.
Strategy and development
Capsol is targeting significant long-term growth and value
creation with a scalable technology licensing model. The
company’s ambition is a 5–10% carbon capture technology
licensing market share in 2030, EUR 10–15 in licensing
revenue per tonnes installed capacity and a 40–60%
pre-tax profit margin. Capsol’s strategy is to focus on
hard-to-abate industries where its technologies have
significant competitive advantages and engage in
partnerships with leading companies globally to further
improve value propositions and extend reach.
Capsol completed its uplisting to the Oslo Stock Exchange
(Oslo Børs) in June 2024, with the intent to make the
company’s value creation journey more accessible to
international investors.
For 2025, the company’s strategic focus across functions
is as follows:
Strategy: deepen strategic partnerships and explore busi-
ness model expansion.

CapsolGT®—advancing a viable carbon capture
solution for gas turbines
CapsolGT® is developed in collaboration with leading gas
turbine manufacturers. Initial studies suggest that
CapsolGT® could make carbon capture from gas power
plants financially viable, and even revenue-generating,
while enabling clean, reliable, and affordable electricity for
data centers. The technology is also adaptable to
various industrial applications, including gas engines,
diesel generators, and other facilities that generate hot
waste-heat streams.
In June 2024, Capsol Technologies and Audubon
announced positive results for the first pre-FEED study of
CapsolGT® executed on behalf of a globally leading
provider of gas turbines. The study proved the
technology’s performance and efficiency even in the most
challenging environments, confirming that CapsolGT® can
offer the industry’s lowest carbon capture cost—for
owners of gas power plants and other industrial
applications of open-cycle gas turbines across North
America and the Middle East.
Technology development
Capsol is advancing multiple initiatives to enhance its
technology platform and deliver greater value to clients.
Leveraging its extensive project data and client network,
the company aims to be a trusted partner throughout the
full project lifecycle. This is expected to enable future
recurring revenue on a per-tonnes-captured basis,
complementing the existing up-front license fees.
Additional high value services that are being explored or
developed include digital monitoring and performance
tracking, solvent supply, and additive development, as well
as expert services across projects, commissioning, and

operations. Furthermore, Capsol is advancing existing
collaborations, including the joint R&D program with
Munters AB to explore optimization and supply of key
equipment together with the technology license.
As part of its R&D efforts, Capsol entered a project with
Stockholm Exergi, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and
AirZyme in December 2024 to develop a bio-based
additative for accelerated carbon capture and release.
The project has been awarded a grant from
the Swedish Energy Agency totaling SEK 7 million over
two years.
Organization
Capsol Technologies’ aims to establish itself as a center of
excellence within the carbon capture industry. This goal is

Capsol is committed to non-discrimination and equal
opportunity, principles reflected across the organization.
Women made up 35% of the workforce and held 29% of
senior managementl positions. The team represents 16
nationalities and a diverse range of competencies.
Endre O. Sund (b. 1950), Chair of the Board of Capsol
Technologies, has notified the Nomination Committee that
he will not seek re-election when his term concludes in
2025. Sund has been an integral part of Capsol's growth
journey since joining the Board of Directors in 2018 and
serving as Chair since 2020. Einar Chr. Lange resigned as
a Board Member following the Annual General Meeting on
May 8, 2024. Lange served as a Board Member of Capsol

governance is essential to achieving this goal.
Capsol Technologies' corporate governance complies
with Norwegian law and the Norwegian Code of Practice
for Corporate Governance, as issued by the Norwegian
Committee for Corporate Governance (“NUES”) on
October 14, 2021. The company follows these
recommendations with no significant deviations, though it

Members, including share options, which has been
approved by the General Meeting. This differs from the
NUES recommendation. Over the past three years, the
company has experienced significant growth and
commercial interest, and the incentive program has played
a key role in attracting a strong and competent Board of
Directors. Looking ahead, the company will continue to
evaluate its compensation program.
Capsol’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the
“Code”) serves as the foundation for the company's
business conduct, ensuring that all employees and
business partners act with the utmost care and integrity.
It establishes minimum standards for ethical behavior,
performance, and compliance with company policies. The

Insurance, which provides financial protection for its Board
of Directors and Officers. This insurance covers claims
arising from decisions and actions taken within the scope
of their ordinary duties. The coverage limits for each
insurance event is up to NOK 10 million.
Equity and Dividends
The Board seeks to maintain a capital structure aligned
with the Company’s objectives, strategy, and risk and other
financing sources where applicable. General
authorizations for the Board to increase share capital or
repurchase shares are typically granted for specific
purposes and are generally limited in duration, expiring no
later than the next annual general meeting. The
Company is dedicated to generating long-term value for
its shareholders. To support future growth, it plans to retain
earnings and cash, with no anticipation of paying cash
dividends in the foreseeable future.
Risk management
The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that
Capsol Technologies maintains robust internal controls
and systematic risk management practices tailored to the
nature of the company's activities. Regular reviews of the
company’s key risk areas are conducted to proactively
mitigate potential impacts on business plans, operational
performance, financial results, and overall financial stability.

Allocation of net loss and dividends
Capsol Technologies ASA reported a net loss of
NOK 25.6 million for the period from January 1 to
December 31, 2024. As the company remains in a growth
phase, it is not positioned to distribute
dividends based on the 2024 results. To achieve
its long-term objectives, drive impact, and
maximize shareholder value, Capsol will prioritize
reinvesting in growth over dividend payments in
the near to medium term.
The Board of Directors proposes allocating the
uncovered loss.
Going Concern
Pursuant to Section 3-3 of the Norwegian
Accounting Act, the Board of Directors confirm
that Capsol Technologies ASA satisfies the going
concern assumption.

Introduction
Capsol Technologies is building a leading provider of
energy-efficient and safe technologies for carbon removal
for large-scale emitters of CO, with a goal of accelerating
the world’s transition to a net zero future. Capsol offers
carbon capture solutions for hard-to-abate industries like
cement, energy-from-waste, biomass and gas turbines,
creating long-term value for customers, shareholders,
society and the environment.
Capsol’s technologies combine inherent heat recovery
and generation in a stand-alone unit based on a proven
and safe solvent. As such, Capsol’s main impact is tied to
the company’s ability to provide robust carbon capture
technologies that make more CCS projects economically
viable and contribute to accelerated decarbonization.
The technologies are licensed either directly to customers
or through industrial partners globally. The license fee is
typically triggered by a final investment decision (FID) and
paid over the construction period.
Capsol is committed to developing its business in
alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) and the Paris Agreement. At the core of Capsol’s
business is the contribution towards the SDGs through
climate change mitigation solutions, representing an
important commitment to society at large.
Sustainable strategy
Capsol is currently focused on technology development,
e ngineering, project development and sales. The company
has clear strategic priorities to drive significant growth in
the coming decade, along with an expanding market for
CO capture. The sustainability strategy is aligned with
the strategic priorities, recognizing that such growth will
result in a transformation of the organization, expand the
range of material sustainability matters and therefore
also the priorities.The focus so far has been on business
conduct, the development and preservation of human
capital and the protection of intellectual property (IP).
Going forward, as portfolio projects are subject to FIDs and
start getting developed, Capsol will put enhanced focus
on supply chain management and ensuring that a green
procurement strategy is in place to minimize the carbon
footprint of both its own business and its products.

Environmental
CO₂ emissions and mitigation
Capsol Technologies' biggest impact with regards to CO
emissions is enabling removal of CO from the atmosphere
with Capsol’s carbon capture technologies.
Capsol’s second largest contributor to CO emissions
and environmental impact is the production and use of the
CapsolGo® demonstration units, which requires energy
both during manufacturing and operation, and the use of
raw materials to produce the demonstration units. As part
of Research and Development (R&D), the company
continues to innovate and improve processes to increase
the efficiencies of its solutions, to lower the energy use
during the capture process even further, in addition to
investigating a circular economy-based construction
(reuse of materials after end of life) of our CapsolGo® units.
As Capsol Technologies is a licensor of patented
carbon capture technologies either directly to
customers or through industrial partners globally, the
company does not have direct impact on the customer’s
choice of the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and
Construction) company for the construction of the
large-scale carbon capture plants.
Priorities
Scope 3:
• Develop and mature new business opportunities
• Continue to enable CCUS value chain
• Continue to prioritize research and development (R&D)
to further improve energy efficiency of Capsol's carbon
capture solutions
Scope 2:
• Develop a green procurement strategy for the company
• Cooperate with suppliers and construction companies
to create awareness and collaboration in reducing the
carbon footprint of our CapsolGo® demonstration units
Social
People, diversity, flexibility and
equal opportunities
Capsol Technologies fosters a culture of participation,
teamwork and empowerment to attract and retain top
talent. A diverse and inclusive workforce brings a broader
range of perspectives, fosters innovation, and strengthens
decision-making, making the company more adaptable
and competitive. The company embraces differences in
background, experience, gender, nationality and age while
ensuring everyone is recognized for their contributions.
Capsol also supports work-life balance by offering flexible
work arrangements when feasible.
In 2022, the company established procedures to ensure
fair and consistent employment practices, implemented an
occupational health and safety system, and strengthened
risk management. In 2023, Capsol launched an
HR function to support employee development and
strengthen the workplace culture. Clear policies and
inclusion are essential for managing our growing, diverse
workforce.
Capsol’s business is guided by our Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics, ensuring integrity, compliance with
laws and responsible corporate governance. We are
committed to preventing discrimination and harassment
in any form. Employees are expected to treat colleagues
with respect, and any misconduct should be reported to
management or through our whistleblowing channel. We
encourage employees to speak up about malpractice or
impropriety without fear of retaliation. In doing so, they are
acting responsibly and appropriately.

shareholders.
The policy outlines measures to ensure effective
management and control of the company’s activities. Its
primary objective is to establish systems for
communication, monitoring, and responsibility allocation,
as well as appropriate incentives that drive financial
performance, long-term success, and shareholder returns.

and the investor community.
Sensitive information shall be handled internally in a
manner that minimizes the risk of leaks. All contracts to
which the company becomes a party shall contain

10. Take-overs
In a take-over process, the board, and the senior
management team each have an individual responsibility
to ensure that the company’s shareholders are treated
equally and that there are no unnecessary interruptions to
the company’s business activities. The Board has a
particular responsibility in ensuring that the shareholders
have sufficient information and time to assess the offer.
In the event of a take-over process, the Board shall ensure
that:
a. the Board will not seek to hinder or obstruct any
takeover bid for the company’s operations or shares
unless there are particular reasons for doing so;
company's internal control system. The RAC is responsible
for overseeing financial processes, ensuring compliance
with internal control measures, and maintaining continuous
communication with the external auditor.
Specifically, the RAC prepares the board's oversight of
financial reporting, including the implementation of
accounting principles and policies. It supervises the
effectiveness of internal control and risk management
systems, ensuring compliance with established
measures. Additionally, the RAC maintains ongoing
contact with the external auditor regarding the annual
accounts and reviews the auditor’s additional report. It
also assesses and supervises the auditor's
independence, particularly regarding potential conflicts
of interest arising from non-audit services.
Each year the auditor shall present to the Board a plan for
the implementation of the audit work and a written
confirmation that the auditor satisfies established
requirements as to independence and objectivity.
The auditor shall be present at board meetings where the
annual accounts are on the agenda. Whenever necessary,
the board shall meet with the auditor to review the auditor’s
view on the company’s accounting principles, risk areas,
internal control routines, etc.
b. the Board shall not undertake any actions intended to
give shareholders or others an unreasonable advantage
at the expense of other shareholders or the company;

d. the Board must be aware of the duty it has for ensuring
that the values and interests of the shareholders are
protected.
In the event of a take-over bid, the board will, in addition to
complying with relevant legislation and regulations, seek
to comply with the recommendations in the Norwegian
Code of Practice for Corporate Governance. This includes
obtaining a valuation from an independent expert. On this
basis, the board will make a recommendation as to
whether the shareholders should accept the bid.
Any transaction that is in effect a disposal of the company’s
activities should be decided by a General Meeting.
11. Auditor
Capsol established a Risk and Audit Committee (“RAC”) in
2024 as a subcommittee of the Board of Directors. Its
primary role is to serve as a preparatory body for the
board's supervisory function, particularly concerning
financial reporting and the effectiveness of the
CAPSOL TECHNOLOGIES ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Company Board of Directors' report Financial statementsContents ESG reporting
Governance
The auditor may not be used as a financial advisor unless
the Board decides otherwise, and then only provided that
such use of the auditor does not have the ability to affect
or question the auditors’ independence and objectiveness
as auditor for the company. Only the CEO shall have the
authority to enter into agreements in respect of such
counselling assignments.
At the Annual General Meeting the Board shall present a
review of the auditor’s compensation as paid for auditory
work required by law and remuneration associated with
other concrete assignments. In connection with the
auditor’s presentation to the Board of the annual work plan,
the Board should specifically consider if the auditor to a
satisfactory degree also carries out a control function. The
remuneration paid to the auditor in 2024 for both audit and
other services is presented in 3.5.1 in the parent
company's audited financial statements.
CAPSOL TECHNOLOGIES ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Company Board of Directors' report Financial statementsContents ESG reporting
Governance
The Board of Directors sets the direction of the company
and ensures that Capsol has procedures and systems for
good corporate governance, effective internal control, and
risk management appropriate to the extent and nature of
the company’s activities.
The Board holds ultimate responsibility for risk
management, while the CEO is responsible for
implementing effective risk management processes and
controls. This includes ensuring they are executed as
intended, adjusting them as necessary, and ensuring
appropriate mitigation measures are in place to address the
current risk landscape. The major risks facing the group are
reviewed regularly.
The responsibility for the day-to-day risk management is
not delegated to a specific function but lies with the
management and each manager. This responsibility
includes ensuring that operations comply with internal and
external rules and regulation.
Capsol relies on a strong risk culture throughout the
organization. Risk culture encompasses the shared
objectives and practices that guide and govern risk
management. This includes the company’s purpose,
values, and behaviors that foster a sound risk culture,
marked by a high level of risk awareness, ongoing
discussions about the risks Capsol faces or may face, and
robust methods for systematic risk management. The
company manages risk in compliance with applicable
laws and regulations, as well as internal risk management
directives. Established internal procedures support this
approach.
In finance and accounting, the company's internal controls
are subject to independent review by the external auditor,
RSM, with findings presented annually at a board meeting.
Once a year, the board conducts a review of
the company's key risk exposures and internal control
arrangements. These internal control mechanisms include
clear accountability structures, structured accounting
procedures, and periodic controls to identify and manage
risks related to the financial reporting process for the con-
solidated financial statements. Additionally, internal and
external audits are conducted to monitor compliance and
continuously improve the control environment.
1. Risk factors and
uncertainties
Capsol operates in a global market shaped by factors such
as government subsidies, CO taxes, customer
preferences, and the willingness to adopt new
technologies and solutions. The introduction,
commercialization, and timing of new technologies,
products, and services by competitors, as well as
changes in regulation, also influence the market.
Additionally, various market conditions, along with internal
factors like financial and operational risks, contribute to the
overall risk landscape. Further details on these risk factors
and mitigating actions are outlined below.

Risk management
2. Market risk
2.1 Industry
The carbon capture market has seen rapid growth in
recent years, driven by growing policy support and carbon
incentives, net-zero targets, voluntary carbon markets and
increased acceptance for price premiums for low carbon
products. Achieving scale to align with net-zero emissions
targets by 2050 will require trillions of euros in investment
in carbon capture and storage (CCS). Capsol provides
highly competitive and proven carbon capture solutions,
leveraging the safe and environmentally friendly HPC (Hot
Potassium Carbonate) solvent to deliver cost-effective and
flexible technology. However, the company operates in a
competitive market where success depends on
securing sufficient funding, attracting skilled talent,
maintaining strong technical expertise, and executing a
clear business strategy. Given the fast-paced innovation
in carbon capture, there is always a risk that competitors
could develop superior technologies, potentially
challenging Capsol’s market position. The company's
ability to successfully and swiftly bring its technology
and solutions to market will depend on several external
factors. Key influences include CO pricing mechanisms,
such as the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), the
phased implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment
Mechanism (CBAM), and funding opportunities for CCUS
projects under the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Other
or potential legal claims related to the handling and
protection of sensitive information.
Capsol mitigates project risks through structured
engineering processes, standardized technology designs,
and strong partnerships with EPC firms. Close
collaboration with customers ensures early identification
of project scope changes, reducing potential cost
overruns and timeline disruptions.
Cybersecurity is also a key priority for the company, with
proactive and reactive measures in place to protect
employees, clients, stakeholders, and assets from
cyber threats. To strengthen its defenses, Capsol works
with external IT consultants to safeguard company data
and digital infrastructure. This includes multiple layers
of digital backups stored on separate infrastructure and
servers, ensuring resilience against potential security
incidents.
2.3 ESG and political risk
Capsol has limited direct exposure in countries with high
political, corruption, and human rights risks. However, the
company remains subject to legal, regulatory, and political
uncertainties, including changes in environmental
regulations, international sanctions affecting supply and
demand, and risks related to unethical or criminal behavior.
critical factors include the timing and rollout of
competing technologies, regulatory shifts, and potential
delays caused by limited CO storage capacity under
development. Failure to effectively commercialize the
company’s technologies—whether partially or fully—
could have a significant impact on its financial
performance, operational stability, and long-term growth
prospects.
To mitigate competitive risks, Capsol prioritizes
continuous technology development, expanding its patent
portfolio, and collaborating with global partners to enhance
performance and standardization. The company actively
monitors regulatory trends and CO pricing mechanisms
to align its offerings with market incentives, ensuring
long-term competitiveness.
2.2 Technical and operational risk
Capsol could face operational and technical risks, such as
the potential loss of major customers, contract
terminations, or challenges in maintaining
competitiveness. Changes in project scope or design
modifications could also lead to delays and increased
costs, posing additional operational risks.
Furthermore, both Capsol and its customers could be
exposed to cybersecurity threats, which might result in
system downtime, loss of intellectual property,
CAPSOL TECHNOLOGIES ANNUAL REPORT 2024
42
Company Board of Directors' report Financial statementsContents ESG reporting
Risk management
To mitigate regulatory and supply chain risks, Capsol
conducts regular due diligence on suppliers and partners
to ensure compliance with ethical and environmental
standards. The company also engages with
policymakers and industry groups to help shape a stable
regulatory framework for carbon capture.
To uphold strong corporate governance, Capsol has
established clear guidelines and policies under its
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, ensuring that all
business activities are conducted with integrity and a
zero-tolerance approach to bribery, corruption, money
laundering, and fraud. This Code outlines fundamental
expectations for ethical conduct and serves as the
foundation for interactions with employees, customers,
partners, and shareholders. Employees are expected to
exercise sound judgment and adhere to these principles in
all business dealings.
To further ensure ethical standards, Capsol maintains a
whistleblower channel where concerns about the
company and its operations can be reported confidentially.
Employees also have the option to raise concerns through
internal reporting channels, such as their immediate
department head or designated human resources and
safety representatives, ensuring that any potential
misconduct is promptly addressed.
diversified project pipeline across industries and
geographies, reducing reliance on any single sector or
region.
2.5 Intellectual property
Capsol's success depends on its ability to protect and
enforce its intellectual property rights. The company
safeguards its innovations through a combination of
patents, trade secrets, and contractual protections.
However, effective protection may be unavailable, limited,
or difficult to enforce in certain jurisdictions, particularly in
highly competitive markets or regions with weaker legal
frameworks.
There is no guarantee that current or future patents will
not lapse, be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, or
abandoned, or that pending applications will be granted
with the intended scope. Competitors may also develop
alternative technologies that bypass Capsol’s patents, and
the company may face infringement claims, which could
be time-consuming, costly, and impact relationships with
partners, customers, and distributors.
To mitigate these risks, Capsol actively monitors global
patent filings and technology developments to detect
potential infringements early. The company also engages
legal expertise to enforce its IP rights in key markets and
has established clear procedures for documenting and
securing new inventions, ensuring continuous protection
2.4 Financial risk
Capsol is exposed to various financial market risks,
including currency fluctuations, interest rate changes, tax
uncertainties, price volatility, credit and counterparty risks,
and liquidity challenges, as well as risks associated with
securing financing on favorable terms. Recent market
developments, such as rising interest rates and cost
inflation, could impact the company, particularly in global
supply chains, where raw material costs, wages, and
energy prices play a significant role.
To manage financial uncertainties, Capsol actively
monitors its liquidity position and currency exposure,
aligning costs, debt, and revenue across currencies to
enhance earnings predictability and minimize adverse
effects on performance. The company maintains cost
flexibility and disciplined financial management, allowing it
to adapt to market fluctuations while preserving
operational stability.
Capsol's revenue model includes both shorter-term
income from engineering studies—such as concept,
feasibility, and pre-FEED studies—and longer-term
licensing revenue. While the timing and value of licensing
payments depend on external factors, such as final
investment decisions (FIDs) and project milestones,
Capsol mitigates this uncertainty by maintaining a

43
Company Board of Directors' report Financial statementsContents ESG reporting
Risk management
of its intellectual property, registered and otherwise.
Furthermore, a key mitigation measure the company is
very actively pursuing to protect intellectual property is
building know-how and experience around the registered
and non-registered intellectual property to increase
barriers for circumvention.
2.6 Reliance on key employees,
personnel, and partners
Capsol's success depends on its ability to attract,
develop, and retain highly skilled employees and
consultants. A shortage of qualified talent or the loss of
key personnel could lead to delays and increased costs in
product development and commercialization, impacting
the company’s operations, earnings, and long-term growth.
To mitigate these risks, Capsol positions itself as an
employer of choice by fostering a purpose-driven work
environment where employees contribute to advancing
carbon capture technologies. The company collaborates
closely with global partners and customers, offering
employees the opportunity to work on innovative projects
while supporting a healthy work-life balance.
Capsol also actively recognizes, and rewards employee
contributions, maintaining a strong engagement and
retention strategy.
Regular employee surveys provide insights into motivation,
team dynamics, and organizational effectiveness, enabling
proactive measures to address concerns and enhance
workplace satisfaction. These efforts help reduce turnover
risk and ensure a motivated, high-performing workforce.

Consolidated financial statements
Financial statements
1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
1.1 Corporate information
These consolidated financial statements are made for the Group comprised of Capsol Technologies ASA and
its subsidiaries (the “Group” or ”Capsol”). The mother entity of the Group is Capsol Technologies ASA, which
is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Drammensveien 126, 0277 Oslo, Norway .
The shares are currently traded on Euronext Oslo Børs, with the ticker CAPSL. The Group is a carbon capture
technology provider with a goal to accelerate the world's transition to a net zero future. These consolidated finan-
cial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors on April 9, 2025.
1.2 Financial reporting framework and basis of preparation
Capsol’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as
adopted by the EU (IFRS®). The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for
certain assets, liabilities, and financial instruments, which are measured at fair value (one minor investment in
shares). Preparation of financial statements including note disclosures require management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect amounts reported. Actual results may differ. The functional currency of
Capsol Technologies ASA is the Norwegian krone (NOK). The Group’s consolidated financial statements are
presented in NOK and rounded to nearest NOK unless stated otherwise. These 2024 consolidated financial
statements have been prepared based on the going concern assumption.
1.3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The application of accounting policies requires that management makes estimates and
judgements in determining certain income, expenses, assets and liabilities. The following areas
involve a significant degree of judgement and complexity and may result in significant variation
in amounts.
• Share based payment, refer to section 3.3.1
• Research and development activities, refer to section 4.1
• Impairment of a non-financial assets, refer to section 4.3
1.4 New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is effective for periods beginning on or after
1 January 2027.
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, and introduce new requirements to help achieve
comparability across companies. Although IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition or measurement of items in the
financial statements, changes are expected to be made to the Group’s presentation of the Consolidated
statement of comprehensive income.
Management is currently assessing the detailed implications of applying the new standard to the Group’s
consolidated financial statements.
1.5 Climate related risks
Management has assessed the potential effects that climate-related matters may have on the Group’s operations
and consolidated financial statements. Climate-related risks can take the form of both physical, political and
transition risks, that may lead to potential effects in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Physical risks
are risks of economic ramifications resulting from climatic events such as extreme weather and long-term
environmental changes. Political risks are risks of regulatory changes. Transitions risk relate to shifts in consumer
behavior and technological advancements, resulting from the process of transitioning away from reliance on
fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources. Physical risks are considered when determining the remaining
useful life of PPE, and on the assessment of impairment indicators, see section 4.3

2 SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD
In 2024, Capsol Technologies ASA invoiced and booked its first licensing revenue. This was from
Stockholm Exergi under the Patent License Agreement signed in 2022 for the use of Capsol's Hot
Potassium Carbonate (HPC) carbon capture technology. As a first mover, Stockholm Exergi was granted
a discount on the technology license fee, valid until the end of 2024. The agreement stipulated that the
license fee would be due in full at the project's Final Investment Decision (FID), with an option to pay by
year-end 2024 should FID not be reached within that timeframe—allowing the client to retain the
discount. Stockholm Exergi exercised this option, and the license fee was invoiced and recognized as
revenue in 2024.
3 RESULTS OF THE YEAR
This section provides insights into the financial performance of the Group over the periods
presented, including those relating to financing activities, employee costs, taxes and government
grants.
3.1 Segment reporting
Capsol Technologies has determined that the Group has only one operating segment, and thus
only one reporting segment, which is the carbon capture solution technology. The determination
of one operating and one reporting segment is strongly based on the internal financial information
monitored by the board of directors, the management and Capsol Technologies’ current business
model and operations, as well as the fact that all business and sale is managed centrally by the
management group. The internal financial information is reported using the principles of the annual
financial statements. The Groups primary measure of results is operating income /-loss.

Accounting policies
Capsol Technologies currently has three revenue streams
• CapsolGo® demonstration units where the performance obligation is to provide the customers with one or
more operation and testing packages (OTSP) to demonstrate the technology on the customers sites and
facilities. Revenue is recognized over time over the planned demonstration period, normally between
five to seven months.
• Engineering services and feasibility studies. Each agreed engineering service or feasibility study is a
performance obligation. The revenue from engineering and feasibility studies are recognized point in time
when predefined milestones are reached.
None of the revenue mentioned on table above was recognized in Norway. Recorded revenues are from
• Revenue from technology licensing is recognized in accordance with the underlying contract terms. Reve-

nue is typically recognized when a defined milestone is achieved, such as a Final Investment Decision (FID).
If a contract includes performance guarantee provisions, an appropriate portion of the revenue may be de-
ferred, with contingencies recognized in accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers .
For licensing revenue booked to date, there are no outstanding guarantee commitments related to future
performance.
Major customers
Respectively in 2024, Capsol Technologies ASA had a significant portion of its revenue derived from
three major customers, each representing more than 10% of total revenue. Revenue from these

Prepayments relate to upfront and start-up fees that occur up until commencement of the
OTSP demonstration with the CapsolGo® units. These payments are to cover the set-up
costs and part of the monthly fees paid in the OTSP demonstration period.
Capsol’s contract balances (both the prepayments from customers and the contract
assets) at year-end December 31, 2024 will be recognized as revenue and costs within the
next reporting period, as all remaining performance obligations have duration below one
year.
3.2.1 Assets recognized from costs to fulfill a contract
The assets recognized relate to set-up costs to prepare the CapsolGo® demonstration units at site
up until commencement of the OTSP demonstration. The set-up costs are considered a cost to
fulfill the CapsolGo® performance obligations and amortized as the performance obligation is
fulfilled (the OTSP demonstration period).
The Group has recognized the following contract liabilities related to contracts with customers.

employee benefits expected to be paid to its employees in exchange
for their services. Obligations for short-term employee benefits mainly
include wages and salaries, bonuses, annual leave and accumulated
sick leave that are expected to be settled within twelve months of the
reporting date. Employee benefit obligations are included in the 'other
current liabilities' in the statement of financial position.
The Group has incurred in the following employee benefit expenses:
3.3 Personnel expenses
See Section 7.3.1 for further information on remuneration to the Group's key management personnel.
Pension expenses
The Group is liable to maintain an occupational pension scheme under the Mandatory Occupational Pension Act, in
Norway. The Group's pension scheme satisfies the requirements of this act. The Group has a defined contribution plan
for its employees, where payments are made through an insurance group. Cost from the defined contribution plans is
recognized when payable. Capsol does not hold any credit or actuarial risks from these contribution plans. The

Accounting policies
Share-based compensation programs are provided to the Group’s employees. These programs are equity-settled, since
services rendered by the employees will be settled with the Group’s own equity instruments.
The cost of the equity-settled program is measured at the fair value of the options, at the grant date. The cost is
recognized as 'employee benefit expenses', with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period. The vesting
period is the period over which the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its best estimates of the number of options expected to vest,
recognizing in the statement of comprehensive income the difference between the cumulative expense at the beginning
and period-end dates, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
When the options vest in annual instalments over the vesting period, in substance it implies that each instalment has a
different vesting period. Therefore, the Group accounts for each “tranche” as a separate award.
The Group recognizes social security taxes from its share-based payments in line with IAS 37 ‘Provisions, contingent
liabilities and contingent assets’. The Group assumes that the activity that triggers the payment is the granting of the
options to its employees and measures the liability as the share price per the reporting date, minus the strike price of the
options, multiplied by the current applicable social security tax rate.
Execution of options
On August 14, 2024, a former member of the Company’s board of directors and a former employee
exercised respectively 100,000 and 10,000 options (in total 110,000 options) under the Company’s
share incentive programme at a strike price of NOK 10 per share. Thus, the Board of Directors issued
110,000 new shares at a subscription price of NOK 10 per share, pursuant to the Board’s
authorization to issue new shares granted in the Company’s annual general meeting on May 8, 2024.
As a result of this the number of shares increased by 110,000, giving a total number of shares of
62,898,669.
Share based compensation scheme
On June 30, 2021, the Annual General Meeting approved a share-based compensation program for
employees and board members with a volume of up to 5,000,000 options (which would equal the
same number of shares if options are exercised). At the annual general assembly on May 8, 2024, it
was resolved that the frame of the share-based compensation program in the Company is extended
from 5,000,000 to 5,850,000 shares. Of these 1,087,500 have now been allocated to members of
the Board and additional 4,758,000 options have been allocated to employees, while 4,500 options
have not been allocated. Of these, 110,000 options has been executed, leaving current outstanding
options of 5,735,500. The compensation program had its first effective date July 1, 2021.
Terms for Capsol Technologies Board members
Strike NOK 10.00 to NOK 15.88, vesting three years with 1/3 each year.
Terms for Capsol Technologies employees
Strike NOK 10 to NOK 22,60. Vesting shall be over a period of 3 years with 25% vested year
1, 25% vested year 2 and 50% vested year 3. If a participant ceases to be employed by the Group
within this period, non vested options will be forfeited, except in limited circumstances that are
approved by the board on a case-by-case basis.
Cost of share-based payment
For cost related to share-based payment see note 3.3.
3.3.1 Share-based payment
Issued shares as of December 31, 2024 amounted to 62,898,669 shares. With additional shares potentially subscribed
for under the Share based compensation arrangement, the total number of shares potentially issued would 68, 638, 669

3.6 Taxes
Accounting policies
The tax expense consists of the tax payable and changes to deferred tax. Deferred tax/tax assets are calculated on all differences
between the book value and tax value of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is calculated as 22% of temporary differences and the tax
effect of tax losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets are recorded in the balance sheet when it is more likely than not that the
tax assets will be utilized. Taxes payable and deferred taxes are recognized directly in equity to the extent that they relate to equity
transactions.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to owners of Group, excluding any costs of servicing
equity other than ordinary shares; by the weighted average number
of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
¹The granted share options have an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share as the Group are having losses and are not included in
the calculation of weighted number of shares used in the diluted earnings per share calculation. Basic and dilutive number of shares used
in the earnings per share calculation are the therefore the same.
Accounting policies
Transactions in foreign currency. Foreign currency transactions
are translated into NOK using the exchange rates on the
transaction date. Monetary balances in foreign currencies are
translated into NOK at the exchange rates on the date of the
balance sheet. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting
from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement.

4 NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
4.1 Intangible assets
Accounting policies
The Company holds patented technology for large-scale CO capture in power
production and other industrial applications and started to depreciate the
patents in 2021. Intangible assets are initially recognized at cost and amortized to
their residual values over their economic useful life using the straight-line method.
Estimated residual values and expected useful lives of assets are reviewed by the
Group at least at each financial reporting date. The patents have an average useful
life of 17 years from the start of its amortization in 2021. Development costs are
only capitalized if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible
and it is probable that the intangible asset will generate future economic benefits.
Capitalized development mainly includes costs of materials and services, and
internal labor costs used in generating the intangible assets.
Significant judgement
Capsol’s research and development activities relate mainly to development of the
patents on carbon capture technology. Internal costs to develop the CapsolGo®
units have been recognized as part of property, plant and equipment. In addition,
development of a new technological digital platform has been recognized in 2024.
For other research and development costs relating to the developing the patents
and technology, management has assessed that the requirements to capitalise is
not present.
Research and development
The Digital Platform and R&D Technology is still under development and is not amortized as of year-end December 31, 2024.
R&D Technology
The additions during 2024 relate to Capsol’s feasibility and engineering studies
where the purpose of the project is to develop the products and services further.
Capsol has obtained some residual income during the development phase of these
projects, and these proceeds have not been deducted from the cost of the intangible
assets. Up until 2023, Capsol has not capitalized any development costs. However, in
2024, management considers the development of the CapsolGT® product to meet
the recognition requirements indicated above, and therefore, has started to
capitalize costs from these projects.

Accounting policies
Property, plant and equipment (‘PPE’) is initially recognized at cost and subsequently measured at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairments.
4.2 Property, plant and equipment
Estimated residual values and expected useful lives of assets are reviewed by the Group at least annually.
In estimating the remaining useful lives of the assets, Management considers the expected level of use; the
expected physical wear and tear together with the maintenance plans; and any technical, legal or commercial
obsolescence arising from, among others, laws and regulations affecting health, safety or environmental
regulations.
*The government grants that reduce the cost of the PPE assets are related to SkatteFUNN, see section 7.2 for further
information.
4.3 Impairment of a non-financial assets
Accounting policies
Non-financial assets held by the Group are tested for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds
its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs
of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at
the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units).
Impairment assessment
There have not been identified any indicators of impairment in 2024.

6.2 Borrowings
Accounting policies
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred that
are directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability. After initial recognition,
borrowings are measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the net proceeds
and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the
borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities except for the portion of the liability that is
due to be settled more than twelve months after the reporting period, or for the portion
the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after
the reporting period.
6.2.1 Relevant terms and conditions
Debt to financial institutions consist of three loans, with maturity in 2027 and 2028. Interest and principal
are paid on quarterly instalments. The interest rate continues to be based on the NIBOR and EURIBOR
index plus a margin of 2.9%p.a. See section 6.8.2 for an overview of the maturity.
6.2.2 Assets pledged as securities for liabilities
The debt to credit institutions requires certain assets to be pledged as security.
Assets pledged as security includes property, plant and equipment and accounts receivables.

6.3.1 Nature of the lesee's leasing activities
Accounting policies
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all lease contracts, except leases that
are considered short-term (lease term of twelve months or less), or leases for underlying assets that
are of a low value. Management considers as low value those assets that are worth NOK 50, 000 or less
when new .
The Group has lease agreements related to offices and office equipment. The lease term for the present
offices is of five years with options to both extend and terminate the lease contracts at Management’s
discretion. The Group is not typically subject to variable lease payments for its leases.
See section 6.8.2 for an overview of the lease's maturity.
6.3 Leases
Accounting policies
The right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease
liabilities less any lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease, and initial direct
costs and lease incentives received.
Subsequently, right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments
and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liabilities. Depreciation of the right-of-use asset is
carried out using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the
underlying asset.
6.3.2 Right-of-use assets
Right of use assets are related to the following assets type:

6.3.4 Amounts recognized in the statement of comprehensive income and

The following amounts have been recognized in the income statement in relation to leases
Accounting policies
Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The lease liabilities are measured as the
present value of future lease payments, discounting by the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments mainly consist of fixed payments, which are typically updated by changes on consumer price
indexes or interest rate levels. Lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate
method. If there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, there is a change
in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or the
Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option, the
liability is remeasured and a matching adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the related
right-of-use asset. No significant changes in this regard have occurred during the period.

6.6 Accounts receivables
No allowance for impairment of accounts receivables for the reporting period end December 31, 2024.
For credit risk, refer to section 6.8.1 .
Accounting policies
Accounts receivables are recognized at the original invoiced amount, less impairment losses. The
invoiced amount is considered to be approximately equal to the value derived if the amortized
cost method would have been used. Impairment losses are estimated based on the expected
credit loss method (ECL) for accounts receivables, contract assets (with or without a significant
financing component) and other receivables .
6.7.1 Contingent liabilities
Capsol Technologies ASA is involved in an ongoing dispute related to claims concerning services
and equipment. While the matter remains unresolved, management considers a settlement to be
the most probable outcome. As part of this dispute, an amount of NOK 2,525,744 is included in trade
creditors in the Company’s accounts. Based on the current assessment, the likelihood of an outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits beyond booked vendor debt is considered less than
50%. Accordingly, no provision has been recognized under IAS 37, but the matter is disclosed as a
contingent liability .
6. 8 Financial risk and capital management
As indicated in note 6.1, financial assets held by the Group mainly comprise cash and cash
equivalents and trade receivables. Financial liabilities are of borrowings, lease liabilities, and trade
payables. In conducting its operations, the Group faces the following main types of risks: credit risk,
liquidity risk and market risk. Management keeps track of the evolution of the different risks, and the
potential impact to the Group. The Group has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage its
exposure to financial risks during 2024.
6.8.1 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one party to a financial asset instrument will cause a financial
loss for the Group by failing to settle its obligation. The Group is exposed to credit risks in conducting
its ordinary activities, however, customers are generally larger national or multinational groupings,
with a low credit risk score.

6.8.3 Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. The Group is mainly exposed to interest rate and foreign currency risk.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates (see note 6.1 and
6.2 for further information) based on the NIBOR and EURIBOR rate applicable at each point in time.
The Group has not entered any interest rate swaps agreement or other interest rate hedges to mitigate risk
related to increase in the variable interest rate of its loans.
Currency risk
The Group’s primary operational foreign currency risk is linked to fluctuations in the value of Euro versus
Norwegian Krone. From 2023, the revenue and borrowings are mainly in Euro, while the running costs are in
either Euro or Norwegian Krone. Management has as of year-end December 31, 2024.
The following assets and liabilities are subject to foreign exchange risk, at each reporting period.
The following table illustrates how the profit before tax would be affected by positive or
negative changes in the exchange rates with respect to the functional currency of the
Company, leaving every other constant the same:
6.8.4 Capital management: objectives, policies and processes

Financial statements
1 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian
Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway. All amounts are
stated in Norwegian Kroner.
Use of estimates
The management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected assets, liabilities,
incomes, expenses and information on potential liabilities in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in Norway.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currency are translated at the rate applicable on the transaction date.
Monetary items in a foreign currency are translated into NOK using the exchange rate
applicable on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured at their
historical price expressed in a foreign currency are translated into NOK using the exchange
rate applicable on the transaction date. Non-monetary items that are measured at their
fair value expressed in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate.
Revenue recognition
Consideration from sale of services is recognized at fair value of the consideration, net after
deduction of VAT and discounts. Revenues from the sale of services are recognized in the
income statement for the period when the service is performed.
Income tax
The tax expense consists of the tax payable and changes to deferred tax. Deferred tax/tax
assets are calculated on all differences between the book value and tax value of assets and
liabilities. Deferred tax is calculated as 22% of temporary differences and the
tax effect of tax losses carried forward.
Deferred tax assets are recorded in the balance sheet when it is more likely than not that the tax
assets will be utilized. Taxes payable and deferred taxes are recognized directly in equity to the
extent that they relate to equity transactions.
Balance sheet classification
Current assets and short-term liabilities consist of receivables and payables falling due within
one year, and items related to the inventory cycle. Other balance sheet items are classified as
fixed assets / long term liabilities. Current assets are valued at the lower of cost and fair value.
Short term liabilities are recognized at nominal value.
Fixed assets are valued at cost, less depreciation and impairment losses. Long term liabilities
are recognized at nominal value.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Intangible
assets consist mainly of patents. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at
cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible
assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives. The amortization expense is recognized in the income statement. Gains or
losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized
in the income statement when the asset is derecognized.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line
basis over the following estimated useful lives of the assets.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to other expenses in the period incurred.
Assets under construction are not depreciated until completed and ready for their intended use.

Parent company financial statements
Financial statements
Investment in subsidiaries and associates
The cost method is applied for investments in subsidiaries and associates. The cost price is
increased when funds are added through capital increases or when group contributions are
made to subsidiaries. Dividends received are initially taken to income. Dividends exceeding
the portion of retained equity after the purchase are reflected as a reduction in purchase
cost. Dividend/group contribution from subsidiaries are reflected in the same year as the subsidiary
makes a provision for the amount. Dividend from other companies is reflected as financial income
when it has been approved. Taxes are recognized directly in equity to the extent that they relate to
equity transactions.
Impairment of intangible assets and investments
Impairment tests are carried out if there is an indication that the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds the estimated recoverable amount. The test is performed on the lowest level of
fixed assets at which independent cash flows can be identified. If the carrying amount is
higher than both the fair value less cost to sell and value in use (net present value of future
use/ownership), the asset is written down to the highest of fair value less cost to sell and the
value in use. Previous impairment charges, except write-down of goodwill, are reversed in
later periods if the conditions causing the write-down are no longer present.
Accounts receivable and other receivables
Accounts receivable and other current receivables are recorded in the balance sheet at
nominal value less provisions for doubtful accounts. Provisions for doubtful accounts are
based on an individual assessment of the different receivables. For the remaining receivables,
a general provision is estimated based on expected loss.
Pensions
The Company has a pension scheme for all employees, assessed as contribution plan. The
pension scheme is financed through payments to an insurance company. After the contribution has
been made, the Company has no further commitment to pay. The contribution is recognized as payroll
expenses.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement is presented using the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents
includes cash, bank deposits and other short term, highly liquid investments with maturities
of three months or less.
Share-based compensation
The Company provides incentives to employees in the form of equity-settled share-based
instruments. Equity-settled share options are measured at fair value at grant date and
recognized in the income statement under salary and personnel expenses over the period in
which the final right of the options vest. The balancing item is recognized directly in equity.
On initial recognition of share options, the number of options expected to vest at expiry is
estimated. Subsequently the estimated number of vested options is revised for changes, so
that the total recognition is based on the actual number of vested options. The fair value of
the options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes model.
Government grants
Governments grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply
with the conditions for the scheme and the payment will be received. Governments grants relating to the
purchase or development of property, plant and equipment are normally recognized as a reduction of
the carrying amount of the related assets. Government grants regarding expenses that are recognized in
the income statement as personnel expenses or other operating expenses are treated as a reduction of
the related cost. The receivable amount regarding grants recognized but not received in cash is included
under other short-term receivables.

2 REVENUE
Capsol Technologies currently has three revenue streams
• CapsolGo® demonstration units where the performance obligation is to provide the customers with one or
more operation and testing packages (OTSP) to test the technology on the customers sites and
facilities. Revenue is recognized over time over the planned demonstration period, normally between
five-seven months.
• Engineering services and feasibility studies. Each agreed engineering service or feasibility study is a
performance obligation. The revenue from engineering and feasibility studies are recognized point in time
when predefined milestones are reached.
• Revenue from technology licensing is recognized in accordance with the underlying contract terms. Revenue
is typically recognized when a defined milestone is achieved, such as a Final Investment Decision (FID). If a
contract includes performance guarantee provisions, an appropriate portion of the revenue may be deferred,
with contingencies recognized in accordance with IFRS 15. For licensing revenue booked to date, there are
no outstanding guarantee commitments related to future performance.
Any costs to prepare the CapsolGo® demonstration units at site are a cost to fulfill the performance obligation
and will be amortized over the planned testing period.

Depreciations started in 2021 as the technology was considered ready for intended use.
The Company holds patented technology for large-scale CO capture in power production and other industrial
applications. Expected future uses and revenues are assumed to justify the value of capitalized cost price.
Patent costs are expensed on an ongoing basis. Patent costs are also covered for patents held by subsidiaries.
5 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Significant judgement
Capsol’s research and development activities relate mainly to development of the patents on Carbon
capture technology. Internal costs to develop the CapsolGo® units have been recognized as part of
property, plant and equipment. In addition, development of a new technological digital platform has
been recognized in 2024. For other research and development costs relating to the developing the
patents and technology, management has assessed that the requirements to capitalize is not present.
The additions during 2024 relate to Capsol’s feasibility and engineering studies where the purpose of
the project is to develop the products and services further. Capsol has obtained some residual income
during the development phase of these projects, and these proceeds have not been deducted from the
cost of the intangible assets. Up until 2023, Capsol has not capitalized any development costs.
However, in 2024, management considers the development of the CapsolGT® product to meet the
recognition requirements indicated above, and therefore, has started to capitalize costs from these
projects.

16 MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. The Group is mainly exposed to interest rate and foreign currency risk.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates (see note 6.1 and
6.2 in the Group financial statements or further information) based on the NIBOR and EURIBOR rate applicable
at each point in time.
The Group has not entered any interest rate swaps agreement or other interest rate hedges to mitigate risk
related to increase in the variable interest rate of its loans.
Currency risk
The Group’s primary operational foreign currency risk is linked to fluctuations in the value of Euro versus
Norwegian Krone. From 2023, the revenue and borrowings are mainly in Euro, while the running costs are in
either Euro or Norwegian Krone. Management has as of year end December 31, 2024.
The following assets and liabilities are subject to foreign exchange risk, at each reporting period.
The following table illustrates how the profit before tax would be affected by positive or
negative changes in the exchange rates with respect to the functional currency of the
Company, leaving every other constant the same:
