Another World's First: INNIO Receives 'H2-Readiness' Certification from TÜV
SÜD for Engine Power Plant Concept

·      The INNIO Group receives the "H(2)-Readiness" certification from
TÜV SÜD for its Jenbacher Type 4 and 6 hydrogen product line and the
associated concept to operate power plants on 100% hydrogen.

·      This independent certification increases investment security for
companies and municipalities during the transition to net zero.

·      The Jenbacher hydrogen engine power plant concept makes fast,
efficient, and future-proof energy supply possible.

JENBACH, AUSTRIA / ACCESSWIRE / October 12, 2023 / The INNIO Group (INNIO*)
has received "H(2)-Readiness" certification from TÜV SÜD for its Jenbacher*
engine power plant concept. This certification highlights how an investment in
hydrogen-ready Jenbacher cogeneration systems is an investment in a clean
energy future. The concept enables both the conversion of existing Jenbacher
power plants to hydrogen (H(2)) and the planning of new hydrogen-ready
Jenbacher power plants. As a result, they can make an important contribution
to a secure, affordable, and climate-friendly supply of power and heat.

Offering communities and companies a high degree of investment security, this
first stage of TÜV SÜD certification attests the "H(2)-Readiness" of INNIO's
plant concept based on the Jenbacher Type 4 and 6 product lines. INNIO is the
world's first company to offer energy solutions based on an "H(2)-Readiness"
concept certified by TÜV SÜD for new engine power plants and for converting
existing power plants to run on 100% hydrogen.

"We are 'Ready for H(2),' and the independent certification from TÜV SÜD
provides even more investment security for companies and municipalities," said
Dr. Andreas Kunz, chief technology officer of the INNIO Group. "Hydrogen-ready
energy solutions secure our energy supply of tomorrow."

"Our 'H(2)-Readiness' certification guideline enables engine manufacturers,
plant operators, and insurers to apply a standardized and transparent
evaluation framework," said Ferdinand Neuwieser, CEO of TÜV SÜD Industrie
Service GmbH. TÜV SÜD took the contributions of the INNIO Group's experts
and other key players in the industry into account in a peer-review process to
develop the certification guideline.

The certification covers a complete engine power plant with all relevant
subsystems. It does not refer exclusively to new "H(2)-Ready" engine power
plants, but also defines a roadmap for retrofitting existing plants - from
gradual admixing to pure hydrogen operation.

TÜV SÜD's certification of an "H(2)-Ready" engine power plant consists of
three stages and three corresponding certifications: During the bidding phase,
a Concept Certification is issued for the conceptual design including all
boundary conditions. INNIO is the first manufacturer worldwide to receive this
Concept Certificate. In the implementation phase of a specific project, a
Project Certificate is issued based on the final plant design and its
specifications. Finally, a Transition Certificate evaluates the
conversion/retrofitting of an existing engine power plant to hydrogen
operation. This third stage also includes a review of the retrofit measures
and their impact on safety and performance. The certification offered by TÜV
SÜD can be applied to a wide range of engine power plants.

INNIO is a pioneer in the field of hydrogen with its technology designed for
gas and hydrogen mixtures. With its Jenbacher "Ready for H(2)"** technology,
INNIO is also one of the first companies to offer engines in the 1 MW class
that can operate on 100% hydrogen. As of 2025, the entire Jenbacher product
portfolio will be rolled out for operation with 100% hydrogen. Due to their
huge operational flexibility and short start-up times, Jenbacher energy
solutions are essential for stabilizing energy systems that are increasingly
dependent on volatile renewable energy sources.
