Since the demise of the L cell as AFC's commercial mainstay the company's future success is now intrinsically linked with the perfection of AlkaMem or their proprietary branded anionic membrane if you like as the solid cell's success depends on its electrolyte's (AlkaMem) ability to accept hydrogen cracked from ammonia or indeed as has been hinted at by AB, pure ammonia as fuel. The HFC is only a stop gap as I understand it, using a commercially sourced membrane as an electrolyte. Please feel free to correct me if this is not the case. Given this vital importance of AlkaMem, the lack of news on it is disappointing not least as it's been talked about since 2019 with research into its design ongoing ever since, we've been led to believe. Perfecting its commercial viability will be no mean feat so fingers crossed. If it can be the SP will take off. Waiting with bated breath.
