The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes places on 14th May with guest speakers from Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
Hi Garry, I looked in to this lot when I was in Oz. I like the fact they produce graphite, demand will no doubt increase. It is my understanding this process consumes a lot of power. They throw around the term green, perhaps they are running their lab on solar? Looking at their website again, I still see no reference to the purity of Hydrogen produced. Kudos to all who experiment with new techniques, we always learn, but I'm not convinced yet.
I don't fully understand the HiiROC process, and would very much enjoy an update on that. There are many people looking at incredible ways of extracting hydrogen, so we will no doubt see some weird and wacky new technology appear. I'm interested in where new high powered lasers may take us as these become more available.
I'd envisaged similar in the future, hydrogen generator used on site, potential for charging, I see some companies looking in to making construction vehicles using hydrogen power though I wouldn't rule out some smaller ones using batteries. If the site was a large block of apartments, the hydrogen generator could potentially be incorporated in to the site, and used to power some elements of the building, perhaps communal heating? When everyone comes home at 1700 or whatever and plugs in their ev, the generator can make up for the deficiencies in the grid.
On the Norway ev status, I've researched the latest info. To keep it short, if by 2040 all cars are electric here, and everyone charged overnight, they would not need to upgrade the grid here. They are researching various techniques to bolster the grid during potential peak charging times if required. Currently 250,000 evs on the road here, 1 million planned by 2030. Detailed calculations of power consumption etc available if anyone would like.
If anyone is very bored, here is Norways hydrogen plan in English. https://www.regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/the-norwegian-hydrogen-strategy/id2704774/
Hi task, well I post enough about Norway, and as you've stated we are ahead, ownership figures are high though I'd have to check them before replying, however, as much as I compare things to Norway, we are not comparable on this front. The reasons are we have 99% hydroelectric power, we sell excess electricity to other countries, we have wind farms set up here for other countries, the power system is new - in that towns here are no where nearly as old as the UK so as of now it is not overloaded, there are not many people here, electricity is cheap, we have a huge amount of money, the government have made the transition to ev very easy.
Having said all this, and there is more to add. The government have very recently announced a massive investment in a nationwide hydrogen infrastructure, so we will some change here. As of now, ev's have parking places at work to charge on regular socket slow charging. It's important to remember we are far fewer people, we have an excess of space and power as of today, and at the moment charging the fleets is very achievable overnight on our current grid. The petrol diesel bam is 2025 here, and I know Norway like to lead on green agenda issues, so we will see what happens.
I can say that we are looking in to 10 year plans with airports now, and hydrogen generators are making the list.
Otherwise I should add that the UK is very different to Norway. In my opinion it will be much more difficult there to implement the system we have today. Also, you as the UK now have a chance to take the lead in one sector, by having possibly the first hydrogen ev or generators provided. This achievement should not be under stated, if AFC manage to be the choice of Acciona, the ramifications of this are huge.
Ah ok, fair enough. I would also imagine construction companies utilising a diesel generator doubled an an ev charger. I know this may not necessarily be a specific product as of today, though in my head makes sense, power your site in the day, charge your cars at night?
Apologies if already mentioned, I'm having a break from reading the high volume of posts these days. From my own experience I would guess companies like Royal Mail, and many others, if they follow the trend I have seen here will upgrade nearly all delivery vehicles to ev. It is very practical to install an AFC charger for your fleet, rather than upgrade the site itself.
Thanks Chippy, this is actually a really informative video, and seems to be racking up some views, which is promising. However, the comments seem to be American. When she announced processes as pro-ses-ceees, I nearly died!
If people can learn something positive from 2020, it is that when we all work together and have a common goal for the good of the humanity, with unlimited resources, so much is possible.
I didn't check the share price today until closing, certainly better for the health! I've come to enjoy Yellow's posts, I've never seen such contradicting statements, I can only conclude he is perhaps an internet trolling genius.

A shame AFC are not listed on this one. Some big names here, also note John Lewis for old times sake. You'd imagine that this summit will have a big effect on the future looking at the names involved.
The fact that we are talking about testing 40p again and finding resistance in the 30s, is in itself incredibly positive. We aren't really seeing crazy volatility compared to some others in our market, and we should get used to volatility if we want to achieve the share prices we speak of.
Positively we don't see much if any negative spin here, and that's because there isn't any. We know the products are real now, commercialisation is real. Even though AFC are still releasing news as they did before, no one complains about the periods of no news. We all know they are busy, we all know there is more news to come. Everything is different now.
I do expect an interview from AB soonish, or an update. Who knows, perhaps one of the next interviews will have a larger potential audience than the proactive traditional interview. All very exciting.
There's no point getting caught up in the ups and downs of the SP on days like today.
Conned: persuade (someone) to do or believe something by lying to them.
I'm not sure who you are accusing of conning, though your posts could be accused of similar, as they often seem to have an agenda, and you post statements that some people may take as a statement of fact, when that is far from the truth. Good luck with your short.
Agree on Schroders foxtrotting oscar! Appreciate the analysis on buys and sells you and others do, I don't have time for that so it's interesting to read. Also note you didn't predict a Tradegate eruption yesterday, and we did see some upwards movement ;) Jokes aside, it seems as though LSE decides the price, the after LSE hours trades on Tradegate seem to not play too big a part in the daily prices.
Great point bananaman, however the sexy angle has conjured up some images of a marketing campaign for AFC that I will keep to myself ??
And FCI, yes it feels like more and more people are taking notice of AFC now, news is suddenly travelling fast. I'd like to imagine we may get the interest of some "big money".
I guess we've been in close proximity then cheeky. I think Mugen may have pulled out of the TT. I'm not sure though. I do expect to see some interesting technology coming from Japan in the years ahead though.
