Clean Power Capital Corp. (CSE:
MOVE)(FWB: 2K6)(OTC: MOTNF) (“Clean
Power” or the
“Company” or
"MOVE"). The Company issues this news release to
comment on the stock halt on the Frankfurt Exchange and
IIROC-imposed trading halt, both on November 24, 2020. The Company
wishes to clarify certain statements made in a paid promotional
newsletter (“news letter”) in Germany about the Company’s
investment in PowerTap Hydrogen Fueling Corp.
(“
PowerTap”). This newsletter was published
pursuant to the consulting agreement, initially disclosed on
October 28, 2020, between the Company and First Marketing GmbH
(“
FMG”), an investor relations and marketing firm
based in Heidelberg, Germany, to provide marketing services focused
on the European markets. FMG is arm’s-length to the Company,
however the principals of FMG have purchased shares of the Company
in the last two private placements representing approximately 7% of
the issued and outstanding shares of MOVE. Under the agreement, the
Company agreed to pay to FMG up to 500,000 euros over a 6-month
period to develop required content and artwork and to launch its
market awareness programs in the European Union. The Company is in
the process of reviewing the terms of the agreement with FMG going
forward.
It is the Company’s policy to review and vet all
distributed information about the Company and its investments. The
Company understands that a recent article about the Company’s
investment in PowerTap and PowerTap’s technology may not have
contained sufficient explanatory notes for a reader to understand
the entire context of the article and could have been interpreted
as overly promotional. In this regard, the Company wishes to
qualify certain statements made in the article.
The article stated that the PowerTap technology
has the ability to produce the greenest and cheapest hydrogen. The
PowerTap technology consists of onsite steam methane reforming
(SMR) hydrogen production and dispensing modular units, which has
the potential to be to be an environmentally cleaner hydrogen
fueling technology compared to other technologies that require a
significant amount of electricity to produce hydrogen like
electrolysis, and also has the potential to be more cost effective
compared to offsite produced hydrogen.
The article also noted that an installed
PowerTap hydrogen station cost approximately US $4 million per
station. Approximately US $2 million/station in one-time revenues
can be generated from trading in emissions certificates even
without generating revenues from the sale of hydrogen. The Company
wishes to clarify that the US $2 million per station is actually a
per year estimated carbon credits, noted in the article, is derived
from the State of California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard
infrastructure credit program
(https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/documents/lcfs-zev-infrastructure-crediting).
The article further noted that an initial 1,000
station expansion projected by PowerTap would mean a one time
payment of US $2 billion. This estimate is on the basis that each
of the anticipated stations have the capacity to produce 2,000 kg
per station per day, generating a carbon credit payment (California
Hydrogen Infrastructure Credits) of potentially US $2 million per
station.
However, the Company notes that PowerTap does
not anticipate an initial 1,000 station expansion in the State of
California. PowerTap anticipates that the installation of its
station network in California will actually consist of up to 500
stations, to be located at existing gas stations and truck stops,
as previously mentioned in the Company’s news releases dated
November 2, 2020 and November 23, 2020.
Therefore the estimate provided in the article
based on 1,000 stations having the potential to generate US $2
billion in a one time payment is not accurate. Should PowerTap
achieve an initial launch of 500 stations in the State of
California, the station network has the potential to generate up to
US $1 billion in annualized carbon credit revenues.
It should be noted that the initial planned 500
station expansion is subject to obtaining zoning approval for
fueling station activity from the applicable municipal authority,
but it is expected that by co-locating the modular stations at
existing gas stations and truck stops, the existing operators will
have current zoning permits, on which PowerTap will be able to
rely. Co-location agreements with existing gas stations and truck
operators will be negotiated closer to the expansion rollout. The
California Hydrogen Infrastructure Credits available for each
station will only be earned once a station is installed and is
available for use by the customer, however it is then an annual vs
a one -time payment.
The initial development of this now 3rd
Generation PowerTap hydrogen fueling station network building on
and improving existing and deployed 1st and 2nd Generation PowerTap
outlets is expected to commence with further updates to engineering
and design in Q4 of 2020.
Subject to the progress of this initial stage,
the remaining stages of development and initial manufacturing are
expected to start in Q1 2021 and progress with production of units
by H2 2021. As previously announced in the Company’s October 28,
2020 news release, the anticipated aggregate cost of all stages of
development of PowerTap's 3rd generation product is approximately
US $17 million. At each stage of development, PowerTap plans to
secure financing of the project through available government
financing & credits, and equity, debt & convertible debt
offerings. The timing of the development to the next stages and the
cost of each stage is subject to the success at each stage of
development, the general development of the hydrogen fueling
industry and the availability of funding.
The Company confirms that it is responsible for
the content of all the newsletters published by the Company’s paid
investor relations and marketing firms and will implement enhanced
review procedures going forward, which shall consist of the review
of all newsletters by the management of the Company for accuracy of
content and an additional review by the Company’s legal counsel for
compliance with applicable securities disclosure requirements. Any
newsletters sponsored by the Company shall not be distributed
without the prior approval of the Company’s management and legal
counsel.
