Sandnes, Norway 14 October 2024: Horisont Energi (EURONEXT: HRGI) is assessing
various options for moving the Polaris project forward, after being informed by
ORLEN Upstream Norway (formerly PGNiG Upstream Norway) that the company has made
the decision to withdraw from the licence.

Horisont Energi is in dialogue with the Ministry of Energy and new potential
licence partners and the company will work to secure a way forward for the
Polaris CO2 exploration licence EXL003.

“Polaris has already documented its reservoir capacity and technical CO2 storage
feasibility, establishing it as a technically mature project. Horisont Energi
will now consider the options of how to bring the Polaris project forward as a
competitive alternative for the Barents Blue Project”, says Co-CEOs Bjørgulf
Haukelidsæter Eidesen and Leiv Kallestad.

Horisont Energi is currently conducting a strategic review exploring options for
the company going forward including its project portfolio in carbon transport
and storage and clean ammonia. As part of this work, entry of new partners into
the Polaris licence has been and is being explored. More information on the way
forward for the Polaris licence will be provided to the market when this is
available.

Thursday 10 October it was announced that the Barents Blue project is evaluating
alternative CO2 storage options as part of the ongoing concept select process.
Recent developments in the North Sea carbon storage landscape have introduced
new alternatives, providing optionality for the Barents Blue project – with
options that were not available when the project was initially launched.
