I suggested to AFC that they target Japan because Japan is going big on importing Ammonia to use for power generation. Where there is Ammonia there is scope for AFC FC systems.

Look at what Japan are planning. AFC FC's make WAY MORE sense. A genuine green option, and far higher efficiency than what Japan are planning.

"New salary sacrifice scheme to make switch to EVs a ‘no-brainer’"

"A new salary sacrifice scheme has launched in the UK, bringing claimed savings of around 30-60% on any electric car lease."

Musk has been, as per the link.

Watch the video and see what ABB are saying about eMine in relation to CO2 reduction and clean air. As I said, they can't achieve that by electrifying off-grid mines that use Diesel Gensets.

Also, whilst you're watching, look at all the cable runs in the mock up, multiple machines on rails, etc. This will work in some mines, but a lot of others it would make far more sense to have multiple AFC systems around the site, where any machinery can recharge just by moving to it's nearest charging point at the time.

I also just did another LFT using some phlegm I coughed up (sorry if you're eating runny eggs right now LOL!), test result was negative.

Mucksy,

This is why my LFT should have been positive with the symptoms I had on Monday and Tuesday with high viral load, if I had covid "The review also found that the tests were far better at identifying Covid-19 in people who had symptoms than those who did not.", and LFT vs PCR.....

LFTs are similar to PCR tests, in that they’re both types of antigen test, designed to pick up active Covid-19 infection rather than antibodies to the disease. With a Covid-19 LFT, a nasopharyngeal sample is placed on a small absorbent pad, which is then drawn along the pad via a capillary line to a strip coated in antibodies, which bind to SARS-Cov-2 proteins. If these proteins are present, this will show as a coloured line on the test, indicating infection.

The major benefit of LFTs over PCRs is that they do not need to be sent away for confirmation, and instead provide results within 15 to 30 minutes. However, what they gain in speed they sacrifice in accuracy.

A review of 64 studies from Europe and the US showed a wide variance in accuracy between different brands of LFT. The review also found that the tests were far better at identifying Covid-19 in people who had symptoms than those who did not. LFT sensitivity in symptomatic people ranged from 34% to 88%, with an average accuracy of 72%. In people without symptoms the LFTs correctly identified an average of 58% of those who were infected.

While the use of LFTs for mass asymptomatic screening has been encouraged in countries like the UK, experts have cast doubt on how useful these types of Covid-19 test really are in this context.

Amusementnow,

"They don’t have to think about money"

Of course they do.

Musk needs every penny he can get, for tax ($11Bn), for his plans to colonise Mars, etc.

Losing $27Bn is a big hit for him.

The losses the others saw, even with their wealth, is significant enough to get them thinking about their money and what/where it is invested. I imagine their brokers had a very busy few months.

Nickjhe,

"I did contact ABB about this and the response was that their eMine solution is entirely their own tech and nothing to do with AFC. What evidence is there that AFC might be involved with this? Happy to be proved wrong!"

If you asked ABB "Are AFC Energy Fuel Cells part of your eMine Solution" then I would expect them to say "No" in reply.

eMine, from an AFC perspective, is huge potential, due to the off-grid nature of many mines, and our existing deals with ABB.

ABB can't achieve the CO2 savings and clean air targets by electrifying mines that use diesel gensets (they could make it worse), the only way to do that is to change the power supply first, to something with zero emissions like Ammonia, Methanol, Hydrogen, Solar, Wind, etc.

Currently ABB are waiting for the S Series. They also have the L Series as an option. No doubt they will get some of the first HFC systems off the production line soon too.

With the higher density of HFC and S Series, ABB will be looking at much bigger power for remote sites. Mines, when electrified, will have very big power requirements, so the HFC and S Series look well suited for whole-mine conversion to Ammonia/Methanol power.

AFC will, IMVHO, become part of the eMine solution this year or next.

Latour,

Port and Brandy, kills all known germs …. dead!

I did have some Vecchia Romagna in my coffee today, maybe that's why I feel a lot better now :-)

Most here won't get how big a thing this is, but:

"Global technology company ABB has announced it is working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) ‘to accelerate the adoption of new and sustainable technologies in mining’. The two companies are now creating solutions for digitally integrated all-electric operations to help meet industry goals on ‘net zero’ emissions.

Alt,

Yeah, similar, but I've done LFT's daily for 4 days and right now I have nothing other than a tickly cough (just did, but last one was over an hour ago), so whatever it is, it has subsided, so I can't imagine I have enough viral load to make an LFT go positive.

I was told recently by a doctor that false positive is far more likely than false negative, due to the test accuracy being tilted that way, so having taken 4 tests all negative I'd say it's very unlikely to be covid. I was really rough yesterday and Monday, so viral load was maxed out then, but still negative on 2 tests (one each day).

As everyone knows, we have loads of fake moaners and people with a short term mindset on here. This explains a lot of the "I've lost money, sulk sulk, whinge whinge, it's all AB's fault" garbage posted on a daily basis.

I don't see the below people on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc, posting ""I've lost money, sulk sulk, whinge whinge, etc etc" even though they've lost far more money than all of the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen stock investors added together! That's because they don't have a short term mindset, and like me, they fully expect the stock to not only bounce back, but then go to new highs, in the not so distant future.

Southerhay,

The double posting is indeed a glitch, it seems my mouse sends a double-click if I don't press the button exactly right (and no, I am not doing a double click myself). As I've said many times, the logic behind this site is flawed, as it should prevent someone posting twice within a second, otherwise it is open to spam bots trashing the site, although the con men do that all the time without the need of a bot!

Growth potential exists for the facility to assemble up to 200MW per annum of H-Power systems when the Company releases its new high-density alkaline fuel cell system anticipated from the end of 2022. (my comment: but now the HFC available in Q1 2022)

The "S" series fuel cell is expected to match energy density of PEM systems with up to 2MW of clean generation capacity expected within a 40ft shipping container, meaning assembly capacity from the site should facilitate over 200MW per annum of alkaline fuel cell systems to be assembled and deployed from Dunsfold Park in accordance with future growth in customer orders.

RNS of 23 November 2020

My reading of AFC swiftly moving from 100 staff at the end of 2021 (a target they only announced in June 2021!!) to 150 and heading for 250 is that the pipeline of 'qualified deployment leads' is now MASSIVE.

Just thought I let those that have missed me for a few days (surely that's everyone LOL!), I went away last Thursday, saw a show on the Saturday, had a mild sore throat which got worse on the Sunday, then streaming nose Monday night through to this morning, high temperature and elevated heart rate (up from 65 to 95) yesterday which subsided overnight, now a slight cough but not much. I got back home Monday night but stayed in bed yesterday and today.

I did 4 LTF tests, all negative. I've had 3 jabs of vaccine and a Flu vaccine too, so I guess it's a case of Man Cold LOL!

Not sorry to disappoint to con men!

But in case people are adverse to clicking on links....

Do you think GM can compete with:
A low cost AFC high density Fuel Cell
A modular AFC AEM Fuel Cell
An AFC Fuel Cell that uses no precious metals in the catalyst, yet performance is as good as the best PEM? (see research done by Dr John Varcoe on behalf of AFC, this is fact)
A Fuel Cell that can be run off dirty Hydrogen (not 99.999% pure, as other Fuel Cells require)
A Fuel Cell that can run off cracked dirty (97.5% purity), cheap, easily available Ammonia
A Fuel Cell that can run off cracked dirty Methanol

The market for these products is MASSIVE, absolutely MASSIVE, billions per year in sales when you add the markets together.

There is plenty of room for all of the Fuel Cell manufacturers, each will get a share of the pie, and each share could make hundreds of millions for each company every year for decades, before the market is anywhere near saturated on a global scale.

PLUG announced today it is expecting sales this year of $900m, and has a target of $3bn in 2025, but even that is barely scratching the surface.

This is already being discussed on the following thread, there is no need to create a new thread.

Not sure why the con man needs 5 posts to explain the Tradegate close, but I suspect he is again trying to pull the wool over investors eyes.

Tradegate closes showing the price of the last trade. You have to ignore that and look at the bid/offer prices to work out the mid price.

Today's closing prices on Tradegate are:
Offer 0.474
Bid 0.430

0.474 - 0.430 = 0.044 / 2 = 0.022
0.430 + 0.022 = 0.452

At the current exchange rate, €0.452 = 38p which is 0.4p above the LSE closing price.
