Key Business Updates:

Proceeded through diligence for strategic partnership with Entropy: Net Power and Entropy Inc. ("Entropy"), a global leader in proven carbon capture technology, continued through diligence work in anticipation of finalizing a joint development agreement for deployments in the United States. The Company and Entropy endeavor to obtain final approvals of definitive documents in Q2 2026. Entropy's proprietary solvent is energy efficient and proven to reduce CO₂ emissions from natural gas power sources.

Advanced Permian Basin clean firm power development: Net Power progressed its first clean firm power development at its original Project Permian site in west Texas, which will utilize Siemens A35 gas turbines packaged by RPS paired with Entropy's proven post-combustion capture (PCC) technology. The initial deployment will now target 80MW of electrical output. Final investment decision (FID) for the initial deployment is expected in the second half of 2026 with targeted commercial operations by early 2029, which would make it the first commercial clean gas power project in the United States.
