Technology Update 
 
Hydrogen Future Industries plc (AQSE: HFI), a developer of a proprietary wind 
-based green hydrogen production system, is pleased to provide the following 
update on its testing and development activities, including initial data which 
is supportive of wind tunnel results from earlier prototypes. 
 
Wind Turbine 
 
HFI has completed the construction and installation of its latest, upgraded 1 
metre diameter wind turbine prototype in Montana, USA, with testing and data 
gathering now underway. 
 
The current turbine is the 3rd version of the design since the Company acquired 
a suite of relevant patents, as announced on 5 October 2022. The upgraded wind 
turbine will be used to measure the energy output over an extended period before 
work commences on a larger diameter commercial scale wind turbine. As announced 
on 24 May 2023, the data gained from the performance of the wind turbine will be 
compared to the wind tunnel results and used in the design of the larger 
diameter wind turbines. Initial data from the limited testing to date is 
supportive of wind tunnel results from earlier prototypes. The Board believes 
that the data is supportive of the system's capacity to produce low-cost 
renewable energy and therefore affordable green hydrogen.

Electrolyser 
 
As announced on 24 May 2023, concept testing of an electrolyser for the hydrogen 
production system continues in California where HFI's advisory board member and 
quantum-physicist Dr Nicholas Blake is based. The objective of the testing is to 
build an Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyser (AEMWE) without platinum 
group metal catalysts but with cheaper and more readily available materials that 
improves power efficiency and longevity. 
 
Dr Blake has now completed the build of two complete electrolyser test cells. 
The series of tests undertaken achieved an exceptional efficiency of up to 97%. 
Further test results are expected in the coming weeks. To date, HFI has tested 
30 different electrodes, including the current catalysts to demonstrate the 
efficiency gains from the Company's design. Following the completion of the 
initial test phase, the Company will lodge various patent applications before 
proceeding with further development. 
 
Timothy Blake, CEO of HFI Energy Systems, commented: 
 
"We are delighted with the progress of prototype testing in Montana with limited 
initial data corroborating wind tunnel results. Historical wind tunnel data 
demonstrated a 357% increase in energy generation compared to open rotor wind 
turbines of the same diameter. This would put us on course to meet our goal of 
producing green hydrogen for under $2 per kilogram. 
 
"The performance improvement of the HFI wind turbine over existing ones is 
potentially game changing. 
 
"Alongside the wind turbine test work, Dr Nicholas Blake is making excellent 
progress on the concept testing of a critical component of the hydrogen 
production system: a novel electrolyser that aims to improve power efficiency 
and longevity while achieving a significant cost reduction. The efficiency 
recorded from initial testing has been impressive and we look forward to 
developing and optimising this exciting IP."
