(a) Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm.

On March 17, 2025, the audit committee (the “ Audit Committee”) of the board of directors of NET Power Inc. (the “ Company”) dismissed Grant Thornton LLP (“ Grant Thornton”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The report of Grant Thornton on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and mezzanine shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (“ Successor”) and the period from June 8, 2023 through December 31, 2023 (“ Successor”), the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, members’ equity, and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2023 through June 7, 2023 (“ Predecessor”), and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”) did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the subsequent interim period through the date of Grant Thornton’s dismissal, there were no disagreements between the Company and Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such period.

Also during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the subsequent interim period through the date of Grant Thornton’s dismissal, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company has provided Grant Thornton with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Grant Thornton furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company set forth above. A copy of Grant Thornton’s letter, dated March [__], 2025, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
