an end-to-end value chain.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE EVENT

Peter participated in a fireside chat with Siemens Energy AG CEO and Vice
President, Christian Bruch -- the two discussed the challenges of a transition
to 100% clean energy.

“Generally, transitioning to 100% clean energy involves the shift from
traditional fuel-based energy sources to renewable and sustainable solutions.
The difference at ENOWA is that we are starting from scratch, with a blank piece
of paper. So, instead, our challenge is creating solutions that don’t exist,
because no one in the world has ever done this.”

You can watch the full fireside chat on ENOWA's YouTube channel here.

At NEOM House, ENOWA shared its vision and latest developments through immersive
experiences, films and real-world models. Haya, as the ENOWA ambassador at NEOM
House, greeted and presented guests with NEOM's key pillars, values and NEOM's
regional projects like Sindalah, THE LINE, Trojena, Oxagon, Epicon, Siranna and
Leyja. Additionally, she discussed how ENOWA's renewable energy system will
power NEOM.

AN UPLIFTING DEVELOPMENT FOR THE KSA:

A STELLAR, SUSTAINABLE DEBUT FOR HELICOPTER-AIDED CONSTRUCTION

We're thrilled to announce yet another engineering feat: ENOWA has used
helicopter-aided construction to install high-voltage transmission line towers,
which carry energy from one point to another. A Saudi first, the method involves
the transportation of five pieces of the transmission line tower from the
staging area to the base of the tower where it is then assembled.

One of the many benefits of using helicopter-aided construction is greater
efficiency in installing transmission towers, especially in a mountainous area.
It does so by reducing the manpower and additional work that the building of
transmission towers using cranes normally demands. Importantly, the process is
also much more harmonious with nature and limits the environmental impact of
construction.

By removing the need for new compacted access roads and large spaces to be used
for access by trucks, cranes and other heavy equipment, helicopter-aided
construction decreases the carbon footprint thanks to the limited use of heavy
equipment in the mountainous area.

This new achievement was led by Saudi Project Engineer Jumanah Almurdhi,
showcasing NEOM's dedication to offering professional opportunities for top
talent across the Kingdom. The project also supports ENOWA's track record as a
key regional player advancing more efficient and ecologically friendly methods
of construction, while building a 100% renewables-based energy system and
strengthening NEOM's goal to be carbon-neutral by 2030.

On this project, ENOWA collaborated with key partners, including the Saudi
Electricity Company, Al Sharif Group Holdings, Helicopter Express, Inc., and Al
Rushaid Group.

play its part in this transition. The panelists touched on industry trends and
opportunities and the tangible ways to advance the use of renewable hydrogen for
the green maritime industry and hydrogen mobility.

Participants of the roundtable included:

 * Princess Mashael bint Saud Al-Shalan, Founding Partner of Aeon Strategy
 * Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Extreme E
 * John Rossant, Founder and President of Monaco Hydrogen Alliance and Co-Motion
   and NEOM Board Member
 * Phil Sharp, Technical Director and CTO at OceansLab and Genevos
 * Max Sirena, Team Director at Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli
 * Roland Kaeppner, Executive Director of Hydrogen and Green Fuels at ENOWA

By championing green initiatives and supporting the adoption of cleaner

ISLAND X PRIX IN SARDINIA SHINES A LIGHT ON ENOWA’S INNOVATIONS

Earlier this month, ENOWA travelled to Sardinia, Italy for Extreme E’s Island X
Prix race. The electric car series was built around the idea of racing vehicles
in remote areas to raise awareness of climate issues. It is clear, however, that
the climate crisis is not only a problem that affects remote locations, but all
environments including islands like Sardinia which are suffering from rising
temperatures, coastal erosion and wildfires.

ENOWA, as the official green hydrogen power partner of the racing series, aims
to implement innovative green hydrogen-based fuels and technologies to not only
power the race sites and cars, but also to showcase the opportunities around
this technology, promoting hydrogen as a widespread sustainable solution to
accelerate climate action.

ISLAND X PRIX RACE DAYS

For the Island X Prix, ENOWA provided hydrogen for the fuel cell, which in turn
fueled the race.

Over the course of the weekend, ENOWA provided fuel in the form of green
methanol to help power the fuel cell to power the race site. Hydrogen as a fuel
is different from traditional fuels, created by sun and water, one of the most
natural sources of energy we have. By working with innovative technology
providers like Kaizen Clean Energy, ENOWA was able to demonstrate the
portability of green hydrogen and bring the sun and water of Saudi to Sardinia.

On day two of the race, Roland Kaeppner participated in Extreme E’s Tipping
Point Talk, which focused on green hydrogen and its applications in different
industries. Joined by Alejandro Agag, Kaizen Clean Energy Co-founder, Robert
Meaney and moderated by the Head of Marketing and Communications at ENOWA,
Ceciel Mulders, the group answered important questions around green hydrogen
development and hydrogen as an effective renewable energy source.

Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky and Johan Kristoffersson, with the Rosberg X Racing
team, won first place twice over the weekend, becoming the first team to do so
in the new double-header format.

UPCOMING 2023 RACES

There are two more races coming up this year -- more information about that and

ENOWA SHARES ITS VISION FOR ADVANCING WATER TECHNOLOGIES AT THE 2023 EUROPEAN
DESALINATION SOCIETY CONGRESS

Access to clean and affordable water is one of the major issues of our time. One
of ENOWA’s core objectives is to develop sustainable solutions to combat global
water challenges. At the 2023 European Desalination Society Congress in May,
ENOWA Water experts presented on the organization’s ground-breaking approach to
desalination and brine processing.

Highlights from the conference:

ENOWA’S INNOVATIVE SOLUTION TO BRINE MANAGEMENT: CREATING 3D PRINTABLE CONCRETE

Dr. Noura Chehab, Water Research and Innovation Manager at ENOWA, outlined
ENOWA’s innovative approach to processing and utilizing brine from desalination.
A by-product of the desalination process, concentrated brine is harmful to
marine environments when discharged back into the sea – and is especially
harmful to the beautiful coral reefs of the Red Sea. In line with NEOM’s
zero-liquid discharge mandate, ENOWA is testing new brine processing technology
for use in high value applications such as 3D printing of sustainable concrete
materials.

ENOWA and Delft University recently published results about this in a joint
feasibility study -- testing will continue in NEOM.

You can read the full feasibility study online.

ENOWA, KAUST, AND SEC SIGN MOU TO BUILD CRYOGENIC CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY PROJECT AT
DUBAY

ENOWA has partnered with KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and
Technology) and Saudi Arabia Electric Company (SEC) to build a pilot cryogenic
carbon capture plant in what is considered one of the world's largest
demonstrations of this technology to date.

In an official ceremony at the Saudi Green Initiative Forum at #COP27, HRH
Minister of Energy Prince Abdulaziz Bin Salman officiated the signing of two
significant documents. The partnership allows years of dedicated research and
development to be put into practice, signifying the commitment of the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia to move from "ambition to action" with its climate action plans.

Peter Terium, CEO of ENOWA, said, "Since its launch in March 2022, ENOWA has
achieved significant milestones as it seizes the full potential of renewable
energy and advances decarbonization efforts. We are delighted to partner with
KAUST as we both strive to advance science and technology through bold and
collaborative research and education, addressing national and global challenges.
Together, we can bring fresh thinking and new energy solutions essential for the
world as it transitions to sustainable energy sources."

Saudi Electricity Company will build and operate the pilot plant. All three
partners are committed to the global momentum to increase the use of efficient
and affordable carbon capture technology.

Cryogenic carbon capture technology is a highly energy-efficient and low-cost
process with the potential to radically reduce carbon emissions and, therefore,
the carbon footprint of the Kingdom. The pilot project is expected to capture 30
tonnes of carbon dioxide daily from SEC's Green Duba Integrated Solar Combined
Cycle (ISCC) power plant.

The carbon captured at the pilot plant is then ready to transport as pure liquid
CO2 at room temperature, suitable for food and beverage applications, and with
the majority used to produce e-fuels designed to replace fossil fuels for
internal combustion engines.
