## Exhibit 99.1

**Net Power Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results** 

**and Provides Business Update** 

DURHAM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)—November 13, 2025--Net Power Inc. (NYSE: NPWR) ("Net Power" or the "Company") today announced its financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and outlined an updated strategy that continues to focus on delivering low-carbon intensity power solutions fueled by natural gas.

In response to unprecedented near-term demand for firm power solutions with viable pathways to decarbonize, the Company has expanded its business strategy to prioritize the development of clean power projects utilizing gas turbines with post-combustion carbon capture (PCC). At the same time, Net Power continues to support the long-term development and deployment of its oxy-combustion technology.

**Danny Rice, Chief Executive Officer of Net Power**, stated, "The market is beginning to embrace reality: the only responsible way to meet unprecedented electricity demand growth is with natural gas power, and the only safe and proven way to do so while reducing emissions is with carbon capture. Net Power's mission is to transform natural gas into the lowest cost form of clean firm power. The work we've done to date indicates our oxy-combustion technology is lower cost and quicker to deploy than new nuclear power—however, speed is key in this market. Expanding our offerings to include PCC unlocks a significant market opportunity directly in front of us."

**Key Business Updates:** 

**Building Strong PCC Offering and Advancing First Projects** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Signed letter of intent with Entropy Inc.:** Net Power signed a letter of intent with Entropy Inc. ("Entropy"), a global leader in proven carbon capture technology, to exclusively deploy Entropy's PCC technology for power generation in the United States and to jointly develop projects. Entropy's proprietary solvent is energy efficient and proven to reduce CO2 emissions from natural gas power plants. This strategic partnership is subject to continued diligence and approval of definitive agreements, which the Company and Entropy endeavor to complete in the coming months.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Permian Basin clean firm power hub:** Net Power is progressing its first clean firm power hub at its Project Permian site in West Texas. The project is being sized to accommodate up to 1GW of clean firm power generation capacity utilizing Net Power's suite of power technologies. Phase I of the project will utilize readily available gas turbines paired with Entropy's proven PCC technology; to that end, Net Power has secured 60MW of gas turbines with 2028 delivery. Net

------

Power is finalizing definitive documents for Occidental to purchase 30MW of the power and 100% of the captured CO2. Final investment decision (FID) for Phase I is expected in the first half of 2026 with targeted commercial operations in 2028, which would make it the first commercial clean gas power project in the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Northern MISO clean firm power hub:** Net Power also continues to advance its clean firm power hub in northern MISO, where the Company has site control and a 300MW interconnect request through the DPP-2023 interconnection queue process. Net Power's sequestration partner continues to advance its Class VI permit applications and both the interconnect and sequestration facilities are expected to be completed by 2028/2029. Net Power is designing Phase I of the project to utilize gas turbines paired with Entropy PCC, targeting FID in 2027 with commercial operations as soon as 2029. Net Power is in active discussions with strategic offtakers for the power.

**Realigning Technology Prioritization and Approach** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Advanced testing at La Porte test facility:** Net Power continued to advance oxy-combustion equipment testing with Baker Hughes at its La Porte Demonstration Facility. During the quarter, the facility achieved its highest ever recorded pressures and temperatures, underscoring continued progress in technology maturation. The Company intends to complete Phase I testing, which it expects to occur this year, and will reassess future testing phases by year-end.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Non-cash impairment of other intangible assets:** During the quarter, the Company completed a market analysis of its oxy-combustion technology, identifying slower than anticipated acceptance and deployment relative to previous expectations. The value engineering efforts on Project Permian identified significant cost reductions and performance improvements, but not to a level that is economically competitive in the current market. These events resulted in an impairment of the carrying value of the technology and associated assets on the Company's balance sheet.

**Setting Clear Path Ahead** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Optimizing capital allocation to deliver clean firm power:** The Company views its oxy-combustion technology as a viable, long-term solution for low-carbon intensity power generation. The Company will prudently invest capital to maintain its leadership position in oxy-combustion technology, including engineering efforts and testing at its demonstration facility, but may opportunistically invest a greater portion of its available capital in near-term power projects with Entropy.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Strong financial position:** Ended the quarter with approximately $424 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments.

**Danny Rice**, continued, "Over the last several years, we've assembled a world-class power team and established attractive sites for clean firm power hubs, and our new partnership with Entropy enables us to accelerate development of these sites—as well as potentially originate new ones—to meet the market's demand for clean firm power now."

"We are excited to leverage Net Power's power expertise and strategic assets to accelerate the deployment of our proven PCC technology and, most importantly, accelerate the deployment of clean gas power projects in the U.S.," said **Sanjay Bishnoi, Chief Executive Officer of Entropy**. "Together we are ready to run ahead and meet this moment of unprecedented demand."
