still sitting under last placing price.
Someone just bought 1 million shares.
big buying early doors. big outstripping sells 4:1. lets see what the day brings.
guys, this is looking great. hoping some big orders on the way. GLA holders. Bluegen 2' is coming that are even more efficient and larger output. Ceramic Fuel Cells is committed to commercialising its fuel cell technology in markets that can deliver significant potential. This involves focusing on our primary European markets such as; Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. As well as continually evaluating other emerging markets such as Japan, North America and Australia. Our aim is to minimise reliance on one geographic market by driving higher volumes and aggregating demand from multiple markets. We want to leverage our end-to-end experience across the value chain, from raw materials (ceramic powder) to key components (fuel cell modules) to finished products (BlueGen®). We'll achieve this by working with a diverse range of customers from utilities, appliance manufacturers, and distribution partners within Europe. By doing so, we will move down the cost curve sooner.
Do you not think the whole point of these fuel cells is too save money? Would you not buy the one which is the most cost effective?
Looks like 2.60p is more likely by closing at this rate.
Agreed, but it doesn't make it more efficient, just cheaper. Insp tech is superior but cfu is cheaper. They are aiming at different markets, insp the commercial and cfu the domestic.
Inspirit requires helium too operate. We can use almost any type of gas including natural gas which is allot cheaper.
Wrong, try Inspirit energy's mchp, 92% efficient. A lot has happened since 2011. Lots of companies trying to get in on the act. Very happy with my cfu holding tho and it's potential. Also in Insp. ATB Gl today
Should get too 2.20P by end of day.
Extract might be a bit dated but this demonstrates what we have. This technology is get popular with new home builders wishing too build greener homes. Ceramic Fuel Cells' BlueGen gas-to-electricity technology wins Microgeneration UK 2011 Technical Innovation Award Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited, [AIM/ASX:CFU] a leading developer of high efficiency and low emission electricity generation units for homes and other buildings, today announced its BlueGen gas-to-electricity unit has won the Microgeneration UK 2011 Technical Innovation Award, announced at the culmination of the Microgeneration UK 2011 conference in London. Microgeneration UK 2011 – which brings together policymakers, investors, suppliers and customers – celebrates the best of the UK microgeneration industry. It is run by Micropower Council, the British Photovoltaic Association and the British Heating and Hot Water Industry Council. The Technical Innovation Award, one of five categories, was announced at a gala dinner on Tuesday 21 June in London and was presented by Baroness Maddock of Christchurch, president of the Micropower Council. Baroness Maddock said: "CFCL is playing a key role in pioneering technology that can help provide a source of cleaner, more efficient, low cost energy. Currently collaborating with multiple partners across the globe to help bring cleaner electricity, CFCL is a great example of how innovation within the microgeneration sector can deliver tangible benefits." Brendan Dow, managing director of Ceramic Fuel Cells, said: "We are thrilled to accept this prestigious award, and are delighted that our ground-breaking technology has been recognised by Microgeneration UK 2011. More and more Ceramic Fuel Cells is being recognised as a world leader in the development of fuel cell technology to provide reliable, low-emission electricity from widely available natural gas." In May 2011, BlueGen won both the 2010–11 CEO Award – DuPont Australia and New Zealand's most prestigious innovation award – as well as the 'Design for a Sustainable Future' award, one of seven categories at the biennial DuPont Australia and New Zealand Innovation Awards. BlueGen uses ceramic fuel cells to turn natural gas into electricity and heat for hot water, with each unit capable of producing more than three times the electricity needed to power the average United Kingdom home. Surplus electricity can be exported back to the power grid. BlueGen also provides heat for domestic hot water use. BlueGen units operate constantly, generating 1.5 kilowatts of electricity plus heat for hot water, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, regardless of weather. BlueGen has the highest electrical efficiency of any small-scale power generation system in the world, reducing energy bills as well as making significant carbon savings.
nice finish here. look forward to news :)
Thanks for the info guys. This AIM is a scary yet fun place. I've been following some oil exploration stocks on these lse boards which led me to this stock. Have now bought in the oil stocks and ceramics. The people on these boards are amazing with so much helpful insight. Keep it up as it helps people like me make that plunge with our savings in the hope of becoming mortgage free. And yes I know that I should also conduct my own research which I have been doing but it's difficult with small companies. Good luck all
i bought into this years ago at 6,25 p now if it gets it act together funding etc be ok good product but it has struggled over the years im not in now but i rate the product

Our intellectual property is protected with 27 patent ‘families' - each family representing one innovation, with patents in multiple markets.
Traditional electricity generation is inherently wasteful. More than half the energy content of the fuel escapes from the power station's cooling tower as waste heat. In addition, more than 5% of the electricity generated is lost in transmission in the journey from grid to end user. An alternative approach is to generate electricity within homes and commercial buildings using a device called a fuel cell – essentially a large battery with a replenishable fuel source. In Manchester, Mike Mason advocated fuel cells that use solid-oxide technology. These can run on natural gas, ethanol or various other fuels, including the gases produced when making biochar. Mason described domestic fuel cells that can produce electricity from gas more efficiently than even the best modern power stations – and at a lower cost. As a bonus, because the generation happens at the point of consumption, transmission losses are minimised and any heat created can be used for hot water and radiators. Mason estimates that a typical British home with such a device would save 2.8 tonnes of CO2 each year, compared to consuming electricity from a modern gas power plant and hot water from a gas boiler – a cut of 35%. Compared to generating electricity in a US coal plant, the device could save as much as 12 tonnes of CO2 per home. An extra benefit of the solid-oxide technology is that any CO2 produced emerges from the cell mixed only with water vapour. This makes it easy and inexpensive to separate out pure CO2, which for large-scale installations could be useful in the future if a carbon storage system becomes available. Domestic solid-oxide fuel cells are about the size of a dishwasher. A 2KW system can already be produced for as little as £3,000, with prices expect to fall as manufacture is scaled up.
More buyers coming in for the afternoon finish. GLA
more than 20m euros but prices have gone up since that order. I'm sure maint contracts are in place, CFU owns the intellectual property rights. more orders in the pipeline. should be hearing news shortly.
...And not just unit sales
Hi sharky, thanks for the response. So is an order of 1000 relatively big? Is the order just worth the sale value or does the company make money from ongoing services provided to the customer. Sorry if I sound dumb but I usually trade in tech stocks like blackberry etc where there are so many cash generating variables and n
Saw this go up last few days & decided too take the plunge. Any news on a new director?
big 1000 order could be reinstated per Estonian press. plus other contracts coming. good technology here.
Good recovery from 0.9p! Next one is TPS Results + Possible contract for crossrail from Bombardier!
Hi guy this is my first ever post. Why is this share price going crazy apart from this small order. Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated
1.85 paid. all steady buying. looking good for the afternoon :)
