(Bergen, 20 August 2025): Bergen Carbon Solutions AS (BCS, OSE:BCS)
Bergen Carbon Solutions AS (BCS), the pure-play carbon capture and utilization
(CCU) company, today provides an operational update and financial results for
the second quarter and first half year of 2025.
"The second quarter of 2025 has been another quarter of steady work and
continued learning for Bergen Carbon Solutions. We are moving forward with
enthusiasm, focus and discipline. Our goal is still the same: to develop high
quality sustainable carbon material through a novel process consuming CO2. The
technology barrier is high as we need to remind ourselves that we are doing
something that has not been done before at this scale. However, we are gaining
know-how and building experience every day and in particular building an
in-depth understanding of the fundamentals to fully control the product
quality," says Odd Strømsnes, CEO of Bergen Carbon Solutions.
Through the summer, BCS has maintained a record high testing pace. The equipment
is running reliably with a high uptime, and the company is producing more test
results than ever. This helps BCS move faster in understanding how to make a
consistent and well-defined carbon powder.
The BCS battery lab continues to play a key role. The company is now testing its
material in both Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) battery
cells. Results so far are good, in particularly for Li-S chemistry. The material
is also being tested together with a leading battery manufacturer, which
confirms BCS' position as a key player in the industry.
"We maintain a strong focus on cost control. Our cash burn remains low and is in
the first half year reduced with around 50 per cent compared to last year. We
have a lean team, with the right competence to deliver on our plans," says Odd
Strømsnes, CEO of Bergen Carbon Solutions.
From a global perspective, the geopolitical situation is becoming more
uncertain. Trade barriers and protectionism are growing. This makes local and
sustainable production for critical raw material even more important. The BCS
technology fits well into this new reality as the company enables local
production of carbon materials with a negative CO2 footprint.
"In summary, we are still in a development phase targeting to conclude on the
full potential of our technology. And we are indeed moving in the right
direction. Our testing capacity is high, our understanding is improving, and our
technology is becoming more relevant in a changing world. Thank you to our team,
partners, and shareholders for your continued support. We look forward to
sharing more in the next quarter," says Odd Strømsnes, CEO of Bergen Carbon
Solutions.
