RiskyBusiness1,

What happened to ROLEC?, you tell me, because I've seen no news to say we are not still dealing with them.

What we do know is that ROLEC are a UK only company, and the massive global ABB "a world leader in electrification and digitalisation technologies, operating in over 100 countries" waltzed in and took over.

Maybe AFC put ROLEC on the back burner so they could concentrate on working with ABB, and would get back to ROLEC once ABB were producing systems, instead of having to work on two different system configurations at the same time?

Now that we have the HFC and a lot more resources available, maybe we will see the AFC and ROLEC connection reappear, or later on when the S Series appears.

Suggest someone asks at the AGM if we are still in relations with ROLEC, my belief is that we still are.

Just face it, " if Vladimir Putin withdraws from Ukraine and commits to "no further aggression" is never going to happen anyway. Maybe while Liz Truss is there dealing a blow to Putin's pride, she can get North Korea and Iran to both drop their weapons and play nicely with the other children LOL!!

She is stating the obvious. It's not rocket science.

What is also obvious is that it's going to take more time, because Russia want to annex Donbas area before any ceasefire. It's also been stated from the top that Ukraine won't accept losing ANY of its territory.

This means that with a ceasefire there is then a standoff that has no end, or Ukraine fight back to try and regain the Donbas region. Either way, sanctions are not going to be lifted anytime soon. (none of them currently affect POLY anyway).

Even if Russia walked away today, sanctions would not be lifted until money was agreed to come from Russia to help rebuild the Ukraine they destroyed.

There is no way Biden is going to let Russia get away with not paying for the reconstruction of Ukraine. Many other leaders will also choose to punish (if you could even call it that, after all the men women and children killed) Russia by making it pay for it's aggression. By doing so, they also hop to push back any thoughts by Putin or future Russian leaders of attacking anyone else.

If someone killed a relative whilst robbing them of their life savings, would you then just set them free, or would you want them punished and pay back the money?

TwoCents, what delivery failure, there has been NO delivery failure, all deliveries have been on time.

You visit here for the first time and make your first post, and have clearly only read a tiny amount of info, have already made a mistake about delivery in your first post, yet seem to think you know it all and can pontificate about AFC. Well some of us have been here over a decade, and we know AFC inside out (yes, we have been inside AFC on tours too), so best you go back to the classroom and learn A LOT more, else people will just treat you like another of the know-it-all-nothings that infest this board.

Kev,

Yes, it is happening with ABB, despite what the deniers and con men on here like to portray. We do not need to wait for the S Series or even HFC's to be delivered to ABB and tested for weeks/months (as some think is the case), they are already promoting our systems and will therefore be working with their clients on designing and planning installations ahead of AFC delivering any systems to ABB. They clearly know, due to their NDA and agreements, the performance, longevity, cost, ROI, etc of the AFC systems they are promoting, as they would not be doing it from numbers on the back of a fag packet.

More justification for a fast track, as if any was needed.

Same article other sites. Just because it's on Unilad, does not make it rubbish, it is distributed to many sites, Unilad is just one of the sites that has paid for the story, DUH!!!

The chances of a gap up are equal to the chances of:

A gap down
No change
Any amount up or down

Nobody has a working crystal ball, no matter how much they imply they have.

Keep it real.

Russia has $140BILLION of gold reserves but no one will buy it off them.

The sanctions have now narrowed the market, making it incredibly difficult for Russia to offload any of its gold reserves to raise much needed funds.

Speaking to Bloomberg, Fergal O'Connor, a lecturer at Cork University Business School in Ireland, said: "This is why they bought their gold. It was for a situation just like this. But if no one will trade it with you, it doesn't matter."

Just to clarify what I mean by risk as far as "the higher it goes the lower a percentage the dividend is, and the higher the risk".

The higher it goes the higher the risk of a profit taking sell off by those that have made plenty and have no plans to risk holding long enough to get the dividend.

Last week the price went up just over 60p before dropping back below that.

Last week it dropped Monday through to late on Wednesday, 90% of the rise was on Thursday and Friday. The same could easily happen next week, who knows!

Bearing in mind the higher it goes the lower a percentage the dividend is, and the higher the risk, so the higher it goes without an RNS to advise the dividend will still be paid, the less people will be willing to risk it, so 300p or 400p is out of the question I think. If we are lucky, by Friday it will reach 240p, but could easily be hampered by profit taking by those that want to cash in instead of carry on with the risk, plus possible shorting and people not buying because they are being risk averse.

Also, we have no idea what news will come from Russia/Ukraine in the next 36 hours and onward through the week, so guessing the share price correctly is about as likely as predicting the winning Euromillions numbers.

I only have 2000 shares so am holding onto them, but it's only a tiny amount of my portfolio so I take the risk, but I am not everyone.

Following the ABB Microgrid offerings I posted recently (1MW and 3MW) that include a 200kW Fuel Cell module that can run off Ammonia, here is another ABB document covering Data Center offerings, and on page 53 you'll see an AFC Energy Fuel Cell cartridge, and Fuel Cells to the left under the subheading "ABB solutions". You'll also see Fuel Cells mentioned 4 other places in the file, against diagrams of Data Center setups.

So again, ABB are not waiting for AFC to deliver systems to them before putting our Fuel Cells into sales literature for clients to see, which shows huge confidence in AFC and it's Fuel Cell systems.

Fud248,

You could also look at their accounts and see how much fuel they used.

For example, Balfour Beaty annual report states:

"In the UK, the Group continues to decarbonise its company car and light commercial vehicles (LCV) fleet by switching to electric and plug-in hybrid options where possible and using more electric and hybrid powered solutions for plant operations, which will improve air quality. The Group continued to make progress on its roadmap to phase out diesel company cars with 42% of its current UK vehicles being electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid in 2020. The Group also continued to trial several fully electric LCV solutions for operations where drivers do not have to transport heavy loads."

Energy use in MWh
5% biodiesel blend 245,452
5% biofuel petrol blend 54,799
Biodiesel different blend 53
E85 petrol 188
Gas oil (red diesel) 344,754
100% mineral diesel 14,071

MrA,

I just use their Website contact form.

https://www.afcenergy.com/contact-us/

Interesting, but having just read their latest presentation and a few RNS I can't see any indication of when they plan production, and that will need a similar deal to the ALL Piedmont one to finance it, or fundraising of that much cash (circa £100m, with a MCap of £52m is big dilution, so they need a much higher MCap before fundraising).

One for my watchlist, see how it goes.

Nice to see a photo with the AFC system on Autocar UK! Hopefully the article will also appear in the next copy of their weekly magazine.
