TECO 2030 publishes its results for H1 2021

TECO 2030’s consolidated earnings before interests, taxes, depreciations and amortisations (EBITDA) were negative in the first half of 2021, and amounted to NOK -20 million, down from NOK -5.1 million in the same period in 2020.
The results are as expected and in line with the company’s development plan, according to Tore Enger, CEO of TECO 2030 ASA.
Still in the development stage
“TECO 2030 is still a development company and establishing it as a leading, publicly-traded, green maritime technology provider is a demanding task that requires significant effort,” says Enger.
“The negative earnings are a natural result of the phase the company is currently going through, with extensive developments and corresponding costs planned for the next couple of years. We do not expect to see any significant earnings from our fuel cell business before 2023, at the earliest,” he says.
TECO 2030 has over the past year markedly expanded its team and had 21 employees at the end of June. In comparison, the company did not have any employees in the first half of 2020, when it was serviced through a management agreement.
TECO 2030 Innovation Center Narvik
TECO 2030 is currently in the process of setting up a combined innovation center and factory for the production of hydrogen fuel cells in Narvik in northern Norway, with pilot production at the plant scheduled to start in autumn 2022.
TECO 2030 expects that by 2030, the plant will lead to the creation of up to 500 new jobs in Narvik and will be able to produce fuel cells with a combined capacity of 1.2 GW every year.
The TECO 2030 Innovation Center Narvik will become Norway’s first large-scale production of hydrogen-based fuel cells.
Narvik is the perfect location for the plant because it has an abundance of cheap, renewable electricity, is accessible by sea, rail, road and air transport, and has a deep-water port which remains ice-free all year round.
Furthermore, UiT – The Arctic University of Norway has a campus in Narvik, which offers courses in hydrogen and fuel cell technology. This will provide the TECO 2030 Innovation Center Narvik with easy access to highly qualified graduates who already live in the region.
Bright future ahead
“Looking ahead, we are confident that the future will be bright for TECO 2030, and that the international maritime industry soon will face more stringent environmental regulations, which will boost the demand for our products,” Enger says.
