Very true Mr. Haggis, and the world is finally on our side!
https://www.hydrogenfuelnews.com/h2-production/8541885/

Just to remind people to keep on top of what Acciona are doing, I love conisdering what AFC, ABB and Acciona can put together. Some latest news: https://www.acciona.com/updates/news/acciona-and-enagas-launch-green-hydrogen-project-in-mallorca/

Acciona in Norway: https://www.acciona.no/about-us/acciona-norway/
Much of this has been shared before, though it's easy to focus on EE these days, the real potential lies in ABB and Acciona. If the genset test goes well, they will be quick to take it up. Just to wet your appetite, some quotes:

"These new assets come under ACCIONA’s growth strategy to install 5GW of new renewable energy capacity worldwide between 2020 and 2024. The company currently has a total installed capacity of over 10.5GW in sixteen countries."

"ACCIONA supplies 100% renewable energy to over 500 companies and institutions worldwide, contributing to strategies focused on decarbonization and climate mitigation. ACCIONA’s clients include Novartis, Telefónica, Apple, Bimbo, Merck, Falabella, Asics, Unilever, Maersk and Robert Bosch."

How much of the planned 5GW could AFC potentially get, how many other companies will be switching to green over the next 2 years, and who are the companies that will be providing this? Exciting possibilities.

And don't forget Acciona have been involved in large tunnel projects here too!

Let me just add, what beter place to showcase the future of power generation than the world's largest road project?

Very true, and there will be more trucks soon. The sales will come, I have no doubt. ABB know exactly what they are doing, more than anyone in this market.

I'll try some of these. Hope they work.

Just to put some figures out there, Norway today have an excess of power per year of 10TWh. By 2030 with the planned new power sources it will be 20TWh. This is not to say they will not be utilising hydrogen, it has already been announced by the government, some big hydrogen plans. Plus many locations are remote here, it's still cheaper to use a local power source.

ABB have a big presence here, and many good ties with big companies. Where better to demonstrate what is possible then Norway? That's my thinking anyway.

I understand your thinking, though I still say think bigger. Yes they may find some who take up the ev charger at some of those locations, Tesla have just installed the world's most northern super charger station here. The calculations here say if 100% of vehicles were ev here by 2040 the grid could almost cope with some planning. I won't babble on about this, here are some links that excite me with potential possibilities: https://www.google.com/amp/s/cleantechnica.com/2020/05/22/abb-hooking-up-asko-to-electrify-delivery-trucks/amp/

This is a Siemens boat from 5 years ago: https://youtu.be/a6Lp-qV9ZJU I've used it many times, there are far more now, far more advanced.

Hi Haggis, actually I doubt it in the near future. I think when it comes to Norway, we should look one step further. ABB have electric ferries here, there will be more of them coming, plus hydrogen ferries. I'd guess maybe electric boat (eb?!) charging, generators at ports for ship power or possibly ev chargers for companies like eg ASKO, who deliver good and are using electric artic trucks, they have their large warehouses outside of major towns.

I actually bought 20k shares this morning on the dip. I've watched this be manipulated so many times in the past that I said to myself, this time, I will benefit from the game. The strangest part is watching my average buy price go up after a few years of the same price staring back at me!

Hang in there, it may sound impossible but, try not checking the share price during the day, especially during days like these, you'll feel better at 1700 :)

Although I've made jokes about TUVA, we can't be sure what they have actually done and we will never know. As it has been pointed out, you don't publicise a hydrogen EV charger by paying for targetted marketing on Facebook. Alhough I've bought some stupid stuff online after a bottle of wine, I haven't gone too crazy yet!

One thing we do know is that it seems AFC's products have reached who they need to so far, and hopefully we get more news soon on this front. I know I am often targetted on Linkedin by companies selling very specialist and expensive equipment, and this tactic has worked with me. I'm not sure how larger companies would go about this, though I'm sure there are routes that we the public never get to see. For now I'll give TUVA and official pardon on my behalf, let's say the jury is still out.

99.999% an amonialaire, reference to AFC's lower grade hydrogen and ammonia use benefits (still not mentioned enough in all the recent press!)

Looking forward to markets opening tomorrow, help take our minds off what has become the norm for many and has come back with a thump after Christmas. I'm pretty positive myself after some positive articles over the last week.

I love hearing foreign sayings translated to English, sometimes they can turn out be hilarious if directly translated.

Talking of names and on the fun posts before market opens, in Norway the people who did well from NEL got themselves the nickname "nellionaires" (not I, as I sold all mine and put the £ in here!). Perhaps those of you with large holdings who may do well with AFC, can think of a suitable nickname?!

Also on names Der Sack, I wouldn't stress about your surname, a common surname in Norway is "Aspenes", this can cause many slips of foreign tongues!

Nothing exciting, thought I'd mention the Norwegian prime minister had a speech from home on new years eve, she said Norway will invest in hydrogen to fill the gap where the grid and batteries can't cope, they will also start to build more hydrogen boats right away. The main point I post this is that if Norway are planning on using hydrogen to boost up the grid, the market is bigger than I first thought, as the grid here is excellent.

One more thing I see that annoys me, building sites, not only do they have diesel generators, but in colder climates I see several diesel powered heaters, only purpose is to heat working areas.

Otherwise happy new year!

Haha! Seen too many of these over the years, aim is crazy/annoying. I tend not to check the forum during them as it's always the same pattern. I wish there were a gazillion shares in issue, imagine the mcap now!

Not to go on about it, but there is a pub in town where all the old (alcohol keen people) drink, they have many scarves from all the games played by Tromsø. I think my memory has been re-wired by being told Tromsø "should" have won, or were winning. Even though I've seen the game several times, I seem to be wired to think Tromsø won. I've seen worse games at that stadium, watching a game in the standing section in a blizzard, turning around to tell my friends I'm cold and all the fans behind bursting in to laughter as my beard and face was completely covered in snow. A timeless photo followed.

Ill try get back to AFC now :)

Apologies you're right, not sure how I forgot that, as I'm tired of old locals telling me about that game!

We all deserve a treat now! It still doesn't seem real to me, all the posts about a quid at Christmas how ever many years ago, and look where we are, just like that. Normally I'd be a little more conservative with some profits, but I think with what I've (we've)been through with AFC, I am going to splurge a little. Once this Covid is over, we will be having a family reunion, all of whom are AFC holders. I'm especially pleased foe those who have been counting on AFC for their pensions, though if in a few years I can pay off my mortgage with money left over to spend, that is life changing for me. There will be drinks at the next AGM!

Haha wow, yes I remember the game! Til (Tromsø) won! They had to clear snow at half time, and yes, the lines were gone!

I've decided on the bottle, I've agreed with myself when we make roughly £1.50 I will buy it. https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/2383/glenlivet-1946-gordon-macphail
Come to Norway and I'll pour you a small taster :)
