PowerTap Provides Corporate Update

VANCOUVER, British Columbia and Aliso Viejo, Calif., March 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PowerTap Hydrogen Capital Corp. (NEO: MOVE) (OTC: MOTNF) (“PowerTap” or the “Company” or “MOVE”) provides an update on the activities of PowerTap and its subsidiary, PowerTap Hydrogen Fueling Corp. (“USA subsidiary”).

In conjunction with the efforts of T2M Global, PowerTap’s technology partner, to validate PowerTap’s Gen3 Modular Hydrogen Production and Dispensing Units (MHPDU) technology and provide final engineering toward deployment of the MHPDUs, the Company is in the exploration stages of implementing digital twins for each MHPDU deployment to considerably enhance remote monitoring and testing capabilities further advancing PowerTap at the leading edge of hydrogen fuel station technology. Digital twin implementation, as a part of a company-wide digitization/automation strategy, will enable the Company to completely automate the remote monitoring of each unit deployment during station operation and enhance the ability to rapidly respond in real time to operational irregularities. It also provides PowerTap the ability to speed deployment of future design improvements and iterations of PowerTap on-site hydrogen production units as the Company deploys across North America and beyond.

In relation to comments in PowerTap’s press release of February 13, 2023 by USA Subsidiary CEO, Salim Rahemtulla, regarding the Company’s use of renewable natural gas (RNG) in its production of carbon neutral to carbon negative hydrogen, CNBC noted in an article on March 3, 2023 (Inside the fierce debate over clean hydrogen, with $100 billion in federal subsidies on the line, https://cnb.cx/3ZBmyJM), “The environmental groups say that using fossil fuels to power an electrolyzer to make hydrogen is actually much worse for the climate than today’s method of using natural gas in a steam methane reformer (SMR) process.” 95% to 99% of hydrogen is currently produced using steam methane reformation, although this does not include the capture of CO2, at large production plants and transported via heavy-duty trucks, which is costly and has a high carbon intensity. (Note: Carbon intensity relative to hydrogen production is total carbon emissions per unit of hydrogen produced.) The PowerTap Gen3 MHPDU, on the other hand, is on-site hydrogen production with CO2 capture and avoids the heavy-duty transport component, which eliminates the carbon intensity and is considerably less costly.

PowerTap USA subsidiary CEO, Mr. Rahemtulla, noted, “This perspective drives home PowerTap’s assertion that its hydrogen production method is superior to green hydrogen (using electrolysis) produced in California using electricity from the electricity grid, due to a lack of a green electricity grid across most of the USA and high electricity costs. This perspective also further solidifies the importance of PowerTap’s Gen3 onsite blue hydrogen SMR-based technology, especially due to its use of low to negative carbon intensity (CI) RNG feedstock to produce H2 and its avoidance of high CI transport of H2.”

Update to Sponsorship Agreement with Steinbrenner Racing LLC and DeFrancesco Motorsports Inc.
