AFC's deal with Extreme E was based on some kind of shared marketing/advertising agreement. So Extreme E would give TV coverage to the AFC system, show the system to all it's high profile visitors, etc, whilst AFC would promote Extreme E in it's PR, interviews etc.

AFC must see there is some big benefit in having their branding overwritten by the NEOM/ENOWA branding. You don't have your branding hidden and get nothing for it. So something has definitely been agreed between AFC+NEOM/ENOWA that is deemed significant enough to see AFC give up it's branding advantage in front of all of the Extreme E viewers, high profile visitors, etc.

Something along the lines of "MOA - AFC and ENOWA will work together to build a portfolio of opportunities to use AFC's Fuel Cells at NEOM" would be nice. A few more days of racing to go yet, plenty of time to sign off something like that whilst the event is running.

Also watch almost a third of the way into the video, an interview right in front of our Fuel Cell.

The semi final race live stream is running right now. Check out from about 1/4 of the way into the stream you'll see the rebranded AFC system. Look behind it and you'll see the MSP battery box has also been rebranded. Now look between the two and you'll see another box that is still branded AFC.

Telecom,

Re NEOM taking a stake in AFC, you never know.

Tanz,

Not 'everything'.

The 3D results are a big step towards that, giving a far more accurate estimate of the TCF in the field, and how much of that CH-1 (and CH-2?) will target. I am very much looking forward to the 3D results well before the drilling starts.

'NEOM'

:-D

Oh, and this was last year, well before NEOM became a location for an Extreme E race, so there was no obvious reason the name the images 'NOEM'.

A while back I posted this info, some of you will remember.

MSP Technologies posted images of a Battery System being shipped out.

As per the text "This Flex-ESS will be supporting one of AFC Energy’s most recent Hydrogen Fuel Cell deployments."

https://www.multisourcepower.com/news/supporting-the-hydrogen-economy

But it didn't go to Extreme E, as they already had theirs for months before this MSP news item appeared and didn't get another.

And the most intriguing thing at the time? The names of the two images on the page:

I saw this on my travels and thought it might be of interest here. Well behind PHE, but you might find it interesting to compare the two technologies.

"Oxford and Cardiff project converts plastic waste to hydrogen fuel"

"CarbonMeta’s technology uses an iron and aluminum catalyst developed by an Oxford University team under Peter Edwards. It is used to help speed up the rate of separation of carbon and H2 from any hydrocarbons such as plastics, agricultural waste, waxes and food waste."

"When the hydrocarbons are processed using microwave radiation, the catalyst absorbs radiation and concentrates that radiation on the bonds holding the hydrocarbons together. Once the bonds become unstable, the outcome is hydrocarbon waste to hydrogen fuel, graphite, graphene and carbon nanotubes."

https://www.hydrogenfuelnews.com/waste-to-hydrogen-research/8553441/

"working alongside Extreme E’s new partners, ENOWA from NEOM"

ENOWA will certainly be looking at how they can use AFC Fuel Cell systems at NEOM.

Note it is over 40c at the race today and very dusty, yet our system can handle it no problem. These are things ENOWA will like very much when looking at the potential for our Fuel Cells at NEOM, where conditions can be 45c and dusty too.

Need to copy and paste the entire URL's for those to work correctly.

I noticed the newest lines too, that appeared after 11 June.

The really great thing about this, of course, is that NEOM and ENOWA are getting very well acquainted with the AFC Fuel Cell system, and no doubt with AFC Energy too. What big deals could this lead to, with two massive entities, both focussed heavily on Green Hydrogen power?

NEOM will run on Hydrogen. That is a massive amount of power that somehow needs to be generated from the Green Hydrogen that is produced there.

Rising fuel prices ‘accelerating’ switch to EVs

06/07/2022 in Fleet industry

Half of UK fleets have accelerated their transition to electric vehicles (EVs), with record fuel prices driving the switch, according to new research from Samsara.

investmentpro,

Maybe they are still working on finalising an agreement with AFC, but under MOA AFC could have permitted them to use their signage for the race, with it being removed in future if the agreement did not progress?

Sure is weird to have all of the AFC Logo's covered up, but no word from AFC on what the deal is, yet.

https://enowa.neom.com/

"Charging Forward: UK firms to adopt 163,000 electric vehicles as part of £13.6bn electrification investment drive"

"The increase would see over a third (35%) more business operated EVs on the road by the end of 2022, compared to the 121,000 registered by firms last year."

"The research also found businesses spent £11.6bn on EVs and supporting infrastructure in 2021 and are planning a 15% spending increase over the next year, taking the total investment in fleet electrification to £13.6bn."

AFC and NEOM, AFC and ENOWA!

Has anyone else noticed that the AFC Fuel Cell system at Extreme E has been rebranded?

Watch this video from 9m 10s and listed to what the presenter says. "The NEOM ENOWA HYDROGEN POWER" and it is our Fuel Cell system!!

gaslady,

ARA sure would have the money to pay for the spur to be fast tracked, even if they didn't do it themselves. I guess it depends how much TPDC really want to be involved in the infrastructure ownership. It sounds like ARA just want to eliminate any potential for delays, especially when they will know from AEX all about Tanzania Government delays. Take those delays out early and the ride should be a smooth one.
