<P STYLE="font: bold 24pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">TransAlta Announces Early-Stage Hydrogen Investment
in Ekona Power Inc.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">CALGARY, AB, Feb. 1, 2022 /CNW/ - TransAlta Corporation
(&quot;TransAlta&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) (TSX: TA) (NYSE: TAC) announced today that it has made a $2 million equity investment
in Ekona Power Inc.'s (&quot;Ekona&quot;) Series A funding round. The investment will help support the commercialization of Ekona's novel
methane pyrolysis technology platform, which produces cleaner and lower-cost turquoise hydrogen.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The investment will provide TransAlta with a seat
on Ekona's Strategic Committee, whose members will receive project updates, guide development and become priority commercialization partners
if the technology is successful. TransAlta believes hydrogen, as a fuel source, is a promising pathway to decarbonize the electricity
sector and provide dispatchable, net-zero generation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;We are excited to make this early-stage hydrogen
investment. Ekona has taken an innovative approach to its technology development, directly addressing the issues of high production costs
and emissions from current conventional hydrogen production methods,&quot; said John Kousinioris, President and Chief Executive Officer
of TransAlta. &quot;If successful, Ekona's technology will provide low-cost hydrogen to fuel clean, reliable, and dispatchable electricity
generation,&quot; added Mr. Kousinioris.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;We are very pleased to be working with TransAlta.
Electrical power generation is a key market for Ekona's low-cost clean hydrogen, and our collaboration with TransAlta, a leader in this
market, will be instrumental in achieving effective and economical decarbonization of large scale dispatchable electrons,&quot; said Chris
Reid, Chief Executive Officer of Ekona.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Ekona's technology uses the decomposition of natural
gas to produce hydrogen and solid carbon and has the potential to offer cost-effective hydrogen production with 90%+ fewer emissions than
conventional steam methane reformer technologies. Built on the principles of combustion and high-speed gas dynamics, if successful, the
platform would be low-cost, scalable, and could be sited wherever natural gas infrastructure exists.</P>
