Oslo, Norway, 10 January 2023 - Kyoto Group provides the following commercial
update relating to the announcement of a contemplated private placement today
(see separate release).

Over the past months, Kyoto Group has progressed a growing number of commercial
opportunities. These processes are at varying stages of maturity. The following
have resulted in letters of intent that have not previously been announced and
are considered relevant to the contemplated private placement:

Heatcube installations:

. Letter of Intent for a Heatcube thermal storage battery at the production
facility of a leading company within the agrifood industry in
Spain (https://www.kyotogroup.no/news/olive-oil-producer-targets-net-zero-with
-the-heatcube). The facility produces olive pomace oil, which is made by
processing residual material from the initial production of olive oil. This
processing requires substantial energy, which is today provided by natural gas.
The Heatcube planned for installation at the facility will have 64 MWh of
thermal storage capacity, with a charge capacity of 10 MW and a discharge
capacity of 5 MW. Total heat consumption at the facility is 34 GWh per year. The
installation is planned for the fourth quarter of 2023.

. Letter of intent with a food ingredient company based in
Hungary (https://www.kyotogroup.no/news/hungarian-food-ingredient-producer-aims
-to-utilize-kyotos-heatcube) for a Heatcube thermal storage battery. The food
ingredient company, which is part of a major listed group, has already made a
greenfield investment and aims to rely entirely on sustainable energy in the
future. The project intends to include 64 MWh of thermal storage supplied by the
Heatcube, offering an annual capacity of more than 20 GWh. The parties aim to
enter into a commercial agreement by the summer of 2023.

Technology development:

. Letter of intent with Alfa Laval AB  (https://www.kyotogroup.no/news/kyoto-and
-alfa-laval-sign-letter-of-intent-for-technology-development)to explore joint
research and development related to heat exchangers for molten salt technology.
The intent is to sign a technology development agreement shortly for areas such
as recovery, transfer and storage of waste heat and heat transfer from
electrical heater to various sources of heat using molten salt. As a world
leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling, Alfa Laval
is active in the areas of Energy, Marine, and Food & Water.

Jo Vanhoren, President of Business Unit Welded Heat Exchangers at Alfa Laval,
comments: "At Alfa Laval, we see great potential in thermal energy storage based
on molten salt, such as Kyoto's Heatcube. We also see obvious synergies with our
strong technology suit, so we look forward to working with Kyoto to explore the
potential of a partnership."

Project financing:

. Letter of intent with Kyotherm SAS (https://www.kyotogroup.no/news/kyoto-and
-kyotherm-explore-heatcube-project-financing) covering financing for projects
involving Kyoto Group's Heatcube thermal energy storage solution. The intent is
to identify suitable projects in Kyoto's existing pipeline that Kyoto will build
and operate with financing provided by Kyotherm. The projects will then provide
renewable heat to customers under Heat-as-a-service contracts (HaaS). Kyoto and
Kyotherm have so far chosen two potential projects in Spain for initial
exploration. Founded in 2011, Kyotherm is a leading European investment company
specialized in the financing of renewable heat production and energy efficiency
projects.

Arnaud Suplugas, CEO of Kyotherm, comments: "Solar thermal and thermal storage
are key investment assets for Kyotherm, and we are keen on exploring our
capability to support Kyoto and the commercialization of the Heatcube."

"The high and volatile energy prices in Europe over the past year have
substantially increased the interest in the Heatcube as a cost-effective way to
transition industrial process heat production from natural gas to abundant but
variable energy sources such as wind and solar. This pipeline is illustrated by,
but by no means limited to, the exciting examples mentioned here," says Camilla
Nilsson, CEO of Kyoto Group.

Kyoto's Heatcube provides thermal energy storage and heat generation in one
product. It supplies industrial customers with the technology needed to lower
both their costs for producing process heat and their CO2 emissions through the
use of intermittent renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels for heat
production.

The Kyoto Heatcube can be configured with storage capacities from 16 MWh to over
96 MWh, with a discharge effect for each Heatcube of up to 5 MW. It is an
innovative, low-cost, and modular storage solution for thermal energy that can
use multiple renewable energy sources to heat molten salt to over 450 degrees
Celsius. The high-temperature salt is then used to produce steam for industrial
production processes.

About Kyoto Group

Heat accounts for half of industrial energy consumption. Traditionally, nearly
all of it is based on fossil fuels. Kyoto Group's Heatcube, a thermal energy
storage (TES) solution, provides a sustainable and cost-effective alternative by
capturing and storing abundant but variable energy from sources such as solar
and wind. Founded in 2016, Kyoto Group is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, and has
subsidiaries in Spain and Denmark. The Kyoto share is listed on Euronext Growth
(ticker: KYOTO).
