You have a dutch sounding handle? true? Re your comment, I couldn't agree more. I've added. I think it will get 'spotted' soon. My only concern is the 1.5bn shares in issue. Could lead to a consolidation.
I think its time to buy here. I think we will see contracts soon.

great news!
Ceramic Fuel Cells and Alliander plan broad deployment of BlueGEN systems " "We were impressed with BlueGEN's almost 100 per cent operational availability", says Ton Doesburg, CEO of Alliander AG. "After three years of positive experience, we will now move to the next level and actively support the deployment of this innovative and environmentally friendly technology across our grids."" 600 BlueGEN systems to be installed across Alliander's German grids by 2015 Heinsberg, 13 March 2013. Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited ("CFCL") (AIM / ASX: CFU), a leading developer of generators which use fuel cell technology to convert natural gas into electricity and heat for homes and other buildings, today signed a letter of intent for a strategic partnership with Alliander AG, a distribution grid operator. As a first step, up to 600 BlueGEN systems are to be installed across Alliander's regional grids in Germany by 2015. Alliander will make an important contribution to advancing decentralised energy provision and to introducing this innovative fuel cell technology to the German market. Alliander was an early adopter of the BlueGEN product and will initially focus on the Heinsberg region (in North-Rhine Westphalia) before moving to the national level in a second phase of deployment. To achieve this objective, Alliander plans to top up national and regional subsidy schemes to make the installation of BlueGEN systems financially more attractive to clients connected to Alliander's grids. This novel, value-added offering creates a link between clients and their grid operator. "We were impressed with BlueGEN's almost 100 per cent operational availability", says Ton Doesburg, CEO of Alliander AG. "After three years of positive experience, we will now move to the next level and actively support the deployment of this innovative and environmentally friendly technology across our grids." "The planned cooperation with Alliander opens additional important distribution opportunities for our BlueGEN systems," says Bob Kennett, CEO of Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited. "We are proud that our product has worked so well for Alliander's grid experts. Their feedback again testifies to the marketability of BlueGEN." Alliander views decentralised electricity production as an important challenge and opportunity for the "energy transition" towards a greater share of renewables in the energy mix. In that, the BlueGEN technology can play a major role: Contrary to solar, wind and hydro-electric power, BlueGENs are consistently available, independent of weather conditions and can balance electricity grid volatility. As a result, their deployment improves the stability of decentralised grids. Central control of the individual units allows an optimal use of the energy generated, as well as its integration in regional structures. - End -
Agree, I'd almost given up. It was around 8 - 9p in 2009 I wonder if CFC will beat this in due course. Must surely now be in a much better position. Nice report from Alkane too!
been waiting a long time for this, hoping that this continues onwards and upwards
http://reneweconomy.com.au/2013/mixed-greens-ceramic-fuel-cells ASX-listed fuel cell maker Ceramic Fuel Cells Ltd has signed a letter of intent for a strategic partnership with German grid operator, Alliander, which will see up to 600 of Ceramic’s BlueGEN systems installed across Alliander’s regional grid by 2015. Alliander, an early adopter of Ceramic’s fuel cell technology in Germany, which it claims to be using to advance the cause of decentralised energy provision, is no doubt also taking advantage of the various subsidy policies Germany has in place to encourage the uptake of micro combined heat and power units like Ceramic’s BlueGEN. Ceramic Fuel Cells said in a release on Wednesday that Alliander would initially focus on the Heinsberg region in North-Rhine Westphalia – a state which announced, last October, a scheme to pay a capital subsidy to commercial customers and Energy Service Companies who installed mCHP products of less than 50kW. It then plans to move to the national level in a second phase of deployment, and says it will top up national and regional subsidy schemes to make the installation of BlueGEN units financially more attractive to clients connected to Alliander’s grid. Ceramic has also begun to see other benefits of the North-Rhine Westphalia subsidy scheme, with the first commercial application for finance, made by a local bakery, approved last week. Ceramic says the applicant was granted €13,000 towards the purchase of one BlueGEN unit – amounting to 65 per cent of the investment costs. Ceramic CEO Bob Kennett said the BlueGEN gas-to-power unit would help the bakery halve its running electricity costs.

Perhaps the Germans are more honestly ethical and green minded when it comes to environmental issues, and certainly they seek cost reductions. Does the English government offer subsidies? Anyway, good to see the 3 month sp curve turning upwards.
Hy.They are quite about the mchp boilers!In the UK it should be selling by now!!Or not?
And not just NRW, the whole of Germany / western Europe is built with multi-storey blocks of flats that could benefit with reduced electricity charges. There's plenty of gas around too.
CFU seems to have got its product right spot on. This must be taking off soon as orders come in, or even taken over. Maybe one more cash call then that should be it - IMO
With this new subsidy, BlueGEN units have become an attractive investment proposition for more than 600,000 small and medium-sized enterprises in NRW.
RNS Release - BlueGen receives substantial state subsidy in NRW 7:00 am RNS Number : 6652Z Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited 11 March 2013 PRESS RELEASE BlueGEN technology receives substantial state subsidy North Rhine-Westphalia pays 45% - 65% of fundable purchase price Heinsberg, 11 March 2013. Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited ("CFCL") (AIM / ASX: CFU), a leading developer of generators which use fuel cell technology to convert natural gas into electricity and heat for homes and other buildings, has been informed that the state of North Rhine-Westfalia (NRW) has started to implement its recently announced mCHP subsidy policy. Government authorities in Arnsberg/NRW have last week approved the first application for financial assistance. Depending on the size of the business applicant, the regional government of Germany's most populous state is set to promote the BlueGEN technology by subsidising each generator with between 45% and 65% of its fundable purchase price. The applicant, a local bakery, was granted an amount of 13,000 Euros for the purchase of one BlueGEN unit, which equals 65% of the fundable investment costs. Bob Kennett, CEO of Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited, says: "The state of North Rhine-Westphalia has long been a strong supporter of our technology. We are delighted that this support has now been converted into a clear and substantial financial subsidy. The approved funding level is extremely important in supporting the ongoing marketing and distribution of BlueGEN; we expect this programme to drive a significant increase in demand for our product over the coming months and years. And lastly but most importantly, our first subsidised customer in NRW, will be able to halve his running electricity costs." Following this first approval, BlueGEN generators are now officially part of the 250 million Euro CHP incentive programme 'progress.nrw', which is designed to accelerate the market breakthrough of highly efficient CHP systems. The CHP act aims to increase the proportion of electricity generated by CHP plants to 25 percent of the state's total production by 2020. A study mandated by the NRW Ministry for Climate Protection and carried out by three renowned German research institutes, the Bremen Energy Institute, the ISI and the IREES, calculated a total CHP potential in NRW of 75 terawatt hours per year. By 2020, NRW's government wants small and medium-sized enterprises to contribute a large part of the CHP potential. CFCL's fuel cell technology perfectly meets the objectives of the state's government, as BlueGEN units are specifically designed for decentralized, on-site use in small and medium-sized enterprises. Providing up to 13,000 kWh a year, BlueGEN can cut running electricity costs by up to 50%. Due to high and rising electricity prices in Germany, one in four companies is considering generating electricity themselves, the latest survey of the German Chamber of Commerce says. Wi
...... The company remains focused on expanding its sales network in Europe. Over the last few weeks, it appointed as new distributors iPower in the United Kingdom and Solar Spirit in Belgium. In addition to a growing number of distribution partners in Germany and across Europe, CFCL is also accelerating the build-up of a direct sales force in North Rhine Westphalia in Germany to meet the growing demand for its BlueGEN technology. Demand is expected to be further increased by the announced capital subsidy scheme in North Rhine Westphalia. Thanks to the increasing number of distribution partners in Europe, and to recent efforts to establish its own sales force, the company remains confident of its ability to deliver on its ambitious sales and growth targets.
x2 big trades..showing az a sell,but a bit tight so who knows....
Multiple sales to the Stadtwerke are likely IMHO, as this enables aggregation and Smart Grid enable participation in Grid Pools of 500MW refer to: http://www.focus.de/panorama/diverses/energie-trianel-zeigt-loesungen-fuer-die-vernetzung-und-steuerung-dezentraler-erzeugungsanlagen-auf-smarte-integration-erneuerbarer-energien-durch-virtuelle-kraftwerke_aid_912978.html TRANSLATION " Tuesday, Feb, 10:31 The intelligent control and networking of distributed generation facilities will be given the increasingly tense situation in the networks and the developments on the electricity markets is becoming increasingly important. The Stadtwerke cooperation Trianel shows ways through intelligent networking of virtual power plants renewable generation units to make interesting plants for the balancing energy market and to control them as needed. Since the beginning of the year, together with the direct marketing subsidiary GESY, Trianel operates a virtual power plant. About 40 wind farms with a total capacity of about 1,000 MW are integrated through various interfaces. Thus, GESY is among Germany's market leaders in this new segment. "The summary of the systems to a virtual power plant whose active powers are controlled and the data can be read online." Thus can these systems with negative prices are limited", explains Stefan Sewckow, head of business development production, Trianel GmbH. At the same time, the production forecast is optimized with the online measured active power. Balance circle deviations can be minimized so. For these remote installations, the plant operators about the management regulation receive increased compensation. Trianel pioneered here: the link and control with smart-metering technology has successfully tested the public utilities network in a pilot wind park. "We set up currently the different potentials of virtual power plants in three different applications", said Stefan Sewckow. The integration of distributed generation systems in a virtual power plant offers the possibility to offer smaller plants to the electricity markets and to benefit from the advantages of the short term markets. A second application of virtual power plants is the commercialization of the bundled power reserves in the secondary rule pool Trianel. This pool opens up the possibility to participate in the attractive secondary reserve market operators of distributed generation facilities. CHP can be merged so that their overall performance reached the required minimum quantity of 5 MW, to participate in the lucrative control energy markets. Interesting, this option only for CHP is with a capacity from 500 kW, since the necessary control technology for a virtual power plant otherwise not amortised. The proceeds from the marketing are divided into a partnership and transparent remuneration model. In the Trianel secondary rule pool many smaller potentials are grouped together and appear as a large, variable capaci
No maths degree required to work out CFU will be out of cash in 6 months, so fund raising again within about 3 months. So far only 255 Bluegens installed. On 15 Dec 2012 it was 244, so nearly 2 months and all that has been installed is 11 of them, equal to 66 per annum, so it's still a cottage industry. https://www.bluegen.net/ Not a word in the last RNS about the big furnaces being 100% fixed yet either. (despite pumping everything positive they could think of in that RNS). CFU Net operating cash outflow for the September quarter was AUD 4.6m (GBP 3.0m). Receipts from customers were AUD 2.2m (GBP 1.5m) which was up by AUD 0.5m (GBP 0.3m) from the previous quarter. The net cash outflow from financing activities includes AUD 0.5m (GBP 0.3m) of payments relating to costs of the fund raising undertaken in September 2012. Unrestricted cash on hand at 31 December was AUD 8.6m (GBP 5.7m). http://www.investegate.co.uk/ceramic-fuel-cells-(cfu)/rns/cashflow-report-for-the-december-quarter/201301310700047545W/
Jon Cape, Chief Executive of iPower, added: "iPower is excited about this opportunity to work with CFCL. The use of BlueGen in social housing offers real scope to bring down fuel bills for the least well off in society. "We are already at the detailed design stage with the first large project under this agreement and are attracting expressions of interest from a number of councils and housing associations across the UK."
Ceramic Fuel Cells signed a distribution agreement with UK energy services company iPower Energy, the company announced Tuesday. Ceramic, a developer of generators which use fuel cell technology to convert natural gas into electricity and heat for homes and buildings, will provide BlueGen units, which supplies efficient energy. iPower was granted limited exclusivity for the product on the basis of a minimum 200 BlueGen deliveries this year and a further 200 in 2014. The product will be used in UK social housing estates to cut carbon emissions and reduce energy bills. iPower will be able to offer discounts on electricity tariffs to tenants where BlueGen is installed, Ceramic said. The deal reflects a demand for efficient electricity in the social housing market where costs savings are most needed. "We are delighted to have concluded this initial agreement with iPower and we look forward to developing some key opportunities together in the future," Chief Executive Officer of Ceramic, Bob Kennett, said.
You are a troll on REM as well as here on CFU. Get a life.
