VIREON

✨ Dear Friends of VIREON, 2024 has been a transformative year for us. As the year comes to a close, we would like to reflect on the highlights that have shaped our journey. The year kicked off with an approved funding application to Nordic Innovation for the Next Wave project, where VIREON is working with other partners across the Nordics to enable zero-emission tradelines. In April, we secured a €9.2 million grant from the European Union to advance green hydrogen infrastructure in Finland and Denmark — a major step toward sustainable mobility in the region. 🇪🇺 That same month, we also announced our exciting partnership with Helen to establish a hydrogen refueling station in Helsinki. In May, we were one of the organizers when MAN Truck & Bus Norge AS launched their ongoing hydrogen truck project. 🚛 Our role will be to provide green hydrogen for their first 100 hydrogen ICE trucks. In September, we gained further recognition when we were featured in Forbes under the headline: ‘In the Nordics, all roads lead to Vireon’. 🌟 We also attended the massive IAA TRANSPORTATION fair in Hannover. It was incredibly exciting to see that all major truck OEMs had hydrogen trucks either ready or soon to be ready for the Nordic market. September also saw the launch of our very first high-capacity refueling station at Hellesylt in Norway, alongside Norwegian Hydrogen’s electrolyzer facility — a milestone that underscores our commitment to pioneering clean energy solutions. 💚 As we moved into the fall, we announced exciting developments in Jyväskylä. Together with the Jyväskylän kaupunki - City of Jyväskylä and Cefmof, we revealed plans to build our first station in Finland, which will immediately service a fleet of five hydrogen-powered buses from CaetanoBus. Having firm offtake in place from day one really proves the business case we are building. 🚍 We also secured a grant from Innovation Norway for the H2 Truck project, where we are working with partners in the value chain to bring the first 100 hydrogen trucks to Norway. To round off the year, December brought even more great news: VIREON secured a €3.8 million grant from Business Finland to support the construction of a 5MW electrolyzer facility in Jyväskylä. 🔋 We also achieved a major milestone by being approved by Energiavirasto (Energy Authority) as Finland’s first voluntary distributor of RFNBO fuels under the country’s distribution obligation — a groundbreaking achievement for clean energy in transport. 🌱 ✨ Reflecting on 2024, we are incredibly proud of our progress and the partnerships we have forged. None of this would have been possible without our forward-thinking customers, visionary partners, and dedicated team. Thank you for being part of this journey. We look forward to 2025 with great anticipation and optimism for what we will achieve together. 🎄Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with success, growth, and sustainable achievements! Warm regards, Team Vireon 💚

Enough talk, we need to act, and we need to act now if we really want to cut emissions! That was one of the conclusions at Arctic Circle last week when Nordic Innovation gathered the actors in the hydrogen project 'Next Wave' to a panel discussion. Thank you Lin April Løstegård for an excellent facilitation of the session! 🙏 And as the panel presumed, collaboration has been a key factor to the success of the project. With the value chain involved and close collaboration in the Nordics, 20 of Man’s hydrogen trucks will arrive on Island's roads next year. And Norway will also deploy over 80 trucks in the beginning of 2025. As the project shows, refueling stations, stimulating demand and continuing building competence throughout the value chain is essential for the continuing the work for transportation to become emission-free with hydrogen trucks.

Did you know that the Nordic region ranks as the 10th largest economy in the world? Many see the Nordic countries as small, and alone they are. But together we are top 5 in Europe and top 10 in the world when you rank economies. The productivity in the region is about 40% higher than the EU avarage. Nordic consumers and companies are early adaptors, and we have shown that we take actions when it comes to reducing climate emissions. Thanks to Nordic Innovation I’ll have the chance to speak at the Arctic Circle event in Reykjavik next week about VIREON and how we enable zero emissions in the Nordics through building a network of hydrogen refueling stations for trucks. If you’re not there but interested in finding out more, don’t hesitate to reach out!
