Cheekyboy,
What these?
Revenue: €61,675m
Net income attributable to owners of the parent: €4,259m
That is billion, that's a comma not a decimal point? I copied and pasted from:

Vauch,
"I took that comment's meaning, that is what he thinks of shareholder's"
I take it that he's referring to all the scum con men/women and trolls on so called investor discussion boards. You can't trust 95% of the posters on these boards any further than you could throw them. The 5% are the interested shareholders.
For anyone that was at the AGM, you might be interested in this thread which I added some good info too this morning.
BaS,
You might be in for a surprise.
From the AFC Ammonia Cracker Patent.
"The first process may for example include exposing ammonia to high frequency wave energy, such as microwaves. The high frequency is preferably a frequency greater than lOOMhz. Preferably the high frequency corresponds to absorption bands for the ammonia molecule. For example the high frequency may be around 23.8 GHz"
Adsorbtion is what the PSA (pressure swing adsorption) filtering does to purify Hydrogen, so it could be that the Microwave is effectively the hight purification built into the Cracker.
The description further implies this by stating Ammonia in the Hydrogen stream is one of the issues that might be mitigated by the invention.
"In some applications the presence of significant amounts of ammonia in the gaseous products may not be problematic, but in other cases it is and it is then necessary to provide extra equipment to remove the ammonia involving extra cost and possibly extra energy and/or more frequent maintenance to replace filters or the like. Various processes for converting ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen are known , and each have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, using a catalytic process for conversion and heating the ammonia prior to its conversion can be made a fairly efficient process, but it is not one that can be started instantly to meet an immediate demand for hydrogen. Using a microwave generator for the conversion is known and has the advantage that it can provide hydrogen on demand, but that process tends to be less efficient. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for converting liquid ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen gas, and for storing ammonia, in which one or more of the problems referred to above are mitigated."

Klunk,
That has purification? Or was the link for a different point?
"By utilizing the off-gas of the pressure swing adsorption (PSA applied for hydrogen purification) as energy source for the cracking process"
See this for the PSA process https://www.zeochem.com/our-applications/psa-hydrogen-purification
The dust kicked up from the AGM hasn't settled yet, and garbage posts have already started.
Guitarman,
Sounds awesome!! Thanks!
"Enverus Intelligence Research does not anticipate any further action from OPEC+ at its next meeting in June, Chet Sharma, a Senior Associate at the company, revealed to Rigzone."
“Given the most recent rounds of cuts from the OPEC+ group last month we see strong fundamental support for Brent to drift over $100 per barrel in the back half of the year and don’t anticipate any further action from OPEC+ in June,” Sharma said.

Maybe that's what they meant?
"The new technology platform is a highly innovative development with no comparable rival."

Guitarman,
If it can produce that purity of Hydrogen without expensive filtering then it would be a game changer, not just for PEM but also potentially for Hydrogen vehicles, and industries that need that purity of Hydrogen such as in Petrochemical, Chip manufacturing etc.
Some great ELECTRIC mining machines being released! Loads of mines are in remote areas and use diesel gensets.

Last year the AGM RNS was at 13:40, year before at 14:00, so right after the meeting finished.
I thin they are all still in it. See what I just posted.
We usually get an RNS for result of AGM and that the AGM presentation will be on the website.
We always get that right after the AGM is finished, and as we've not had that yet it seems a very long AGM this year.
Misinformation. No way is this true. The company has £40m and has been gearing up for the past two years!!
Another liar. Glad LSE removed your previous attempt at market abuse.
Renault Trucks could also be interested for fleet buyers that don't have enough power or local grid capacity to charge multiple EV vans and trucks.

"A particular highlight is our Ecolite T diesel lighting tower, which uses 75% less fuel and is capable of running for running up to 170 hours. But, it’s often our hydrogen variants that get the most attention, especially in terms of awards. Just recently, TCP was shortlisted as a finalist in the Highways UK 2017 Intelligent Infrastructure Challenge for its TH200 LED hydrogen fuel cell lighting tower. As the world’s first low-energy LED, hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered lighting towers, they boast zero site emissions and zero noise pollution, making it a perfect solution for Sector 61 compliance. For this reason, it has found great popularity in the rail and transport sector. What’s more, ever-flexible to your needs, they’re available as everything from ultra-secure structures to ultra-portable rigs, capable of being wheeled as easily as a barrow."
