Extreme E has appointed an independent Scientific Committee, led by Professor Peter Wadhams of The University of Cambridge, which will advise on the series’ education and research programmes, event logistics and impact as well as recommending positive legacy initiatives which support local communities in each race location. The committee will also ensure environmental protection, social inclusivity and fair political practices are commonplace.

Efforts are already underway to ensure Extreme E achieves ISO 20121 certification, the international standard for sustainability in events, by the end of its first season.

Started shortly after the 2012 London Olympics, the ISO 20121 certification implements a management system focussing on three top targets; reducing the individual environmental footprint of events, creating a successful financial model for growth, and becoming more socially responsible.

This standard means there will be a continual improvement regarding the sustainable objectives and targets put in place, which will be annually audited by a third party specialised certifying company.

Transporting all championship freight and infrastructure, including vehicles, by sea, using the refurbished RMS St Helena.

Shipping is the lowest carbon emitting transport option, with sea freight approximately 100 times less carbon intensive than air freight.

The RMS St Helena has undergone a multi-million pound transformation to minimise its emissions and to transform her into the logistics, operations, and accommodation hub for the race.

Whilst most live sports rely on spectator crowds, Extreme E is taking an opposite approach in order to reduce impact on our remote race environments.

Fans will follow all the action via live TV action, Youtube and social feeds, and a behind-the-scenes documentary series. The bulk of the TV operations, including the editing and transmission of the world feed, will also be done remotely from London.

Each Extreme E team will also be limited to eight people, which consist of two drivers (one male, one female), one engineer and five mechanics.

Extreme E follows the recommended approach from the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change, which is to measure, reduce and offset for what cannot be avoided.

Current projections for the championship estimate that its carbon footprint will equal 20k carbon tonnes, however Extreme E aims to become carbon neutral via its offsetting efforts.

A Lifetime Cycle Assessment, which calculates the overall series impact, is being carried out by a third party and will be made public upon completion. To reduce its carbon footprint Extreme E has already taken a number of crucial steps.

BumbleB, the whole point of Extreme E, is that the benefits it creates for the areas highlighted infinitesimally outweigh the limited (by virtue of knowingly minimising) the damage done over the very short time they are at the locations.

"The segment includes the manufacturing and construction sector, electric utilities, mining, transport and logistics, and oil and gas sector. These sectors draw huge demand for diesel generators citing their heavy power consumption operations."

"The global diesel generator market size was valued at USD 16.4 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0% from 2020 to 2027. Increasing demand for uninterrupted and reliable power supply from the end-use segments, such as manufacturing and construction, power generation, telecom, oil and gas, marine, residential, chemical, and healthcare, is anticipated to propel the market growth over the forecast period. Continuous population growth, rapid industrialization, and infrastructure development are among the significant factors influencing electricity demand globally. Growing usage of electronically operated equipment has resulted in increasing demand for generators in order to prevent sudden stoppage of electricity supply during power outages and disruption of daily business activities."

"Stringent government regulations on the reduction of harmful carbon emissions are expected to boost the penetration of gas-based generators over diesel generators. This trend is anticipated to restrict the demand for diesel generators across all the end-use sectors. However, low operating costs and low initial investment are among the key factors sustaining the current requirement of diesel generator sets." [no restricted market if using AFC FC's)

As far as OEM car brands go, these are in the Hydrogen Council. AB will have had direct contact with their CEO's for years. The internal newsletter would have shown all members what AFC were doing with the EV charger early last year, and recently with ABB and Extreme E.

Audi (make EV's that take rapid charging)
BMW Group (make EV's that take rapid charging)
Daimler (make EV's that take rapid charging)
GM (make EV's that take rapid charging)
Honda (make EV's that take rapid charging)
Hyundai (make EV's that take rapid charging)

Then we have the brochure on the VW Websites (for several regions) featuring AFC. I can't think they would publicise it and then not pursue it.

I also sent the ABB + AFC news to Tesla Investor Relations. I suggested they could use AFC Fuel Cells to put Tesla Superchargers anywhere that they currently could not, and that an AFC FC system could fix issues where limited grid capacity was causing existing Supercharger parks to limit charging speed, once several people were charging at the same time.

EV charging is going to be big for AFC I think. That global giant ABB has jumped on board shows there is already demand for the solution from their clients.

Construction will go ballistic once the Acciona trial is completed in April (best guess). Acciona will have the data they need in order to make a purchase decision for multiple systems. But also AFC will have the data to pass to all the sales leads they have lined up. We could see a lo sales in April/May/June for construction, just as the AFC + ABB EV Charger is revealed to the World.

Extreme E will have done massive scrutiny of the system being delivered to them, because they will have over 200m (I think they will double or even treble that by time the second race is on) people watching them, and they have to ensure they don't make their teams and sponsors look like fools. They can't turn up with an extension reel and international plug adapter, and ask a local if they can charge up all their high power EV's from their kitchen socket!!

ABB and Ricardo will also have given the Fuel Cell system huge scrutiny before signing their strategic partnerships. They are global companies with big blue chip companies as clients, they have to be 200% sure that what they offer their clients will be built to a very high standard, will work as stated, will last as long as stated, will be cost effective on a TCO basis, will be supported with guarantees from AFC, and more.

When the Ricardo deal was signed, AFC and Ricardo had already gone through their client lists to find low hanging fruit, and sent those clients details of their partnership plans and AFC's offering.

Julich also have given the Fuel Cell system huge scrutiny, as they are creating a showcase of Hydrogen technology, which will be seen by millions of people over the next few years, including many from industries that will ultimately take on the technologies. Julich do not want to end up with any egg on their face.

And now we see the result of just ONE deal, with AFC getting media coverage from many big names including the massive NBC Sports channel. With the way AB is building AFC's partnerships and clients up, AFC could become a household name this year.

With the clients of ABB and Ricardo, plus the others getting our name out there, and enquiries growing exponentially already, we surely cannot fail to build a huge FC company now.

I can definitely say, without any reservations, that AFC has NEVER been in a better position to make itself into a huge, profitable company. This is the point where people can buy in with huge confidence in their investment choice.

If I won £10m on the lottery tomorrow, the first thing I would do is buy £2.5m of AFC stock, because in 2022 it would be worth another lottery win to me, I could take half and leave the rest to double again and that would become another lottery win in 2023. Easy money.

BULLISH - YES - I - AM !!

I have held a decent slice of AFC stock since early 2008. I have never traded this stock, I have never sold any of my stock with a hope to buy it back cheaper, in fact I got my shares moved to paper and put in my safe so I don't get tempted or scared into selling any. I can tell you, if you can afford to do that, it is great for removing the stress of watching the share price fluctuations!

Along the way over the past 12 years I have witnessed all of the ups and downs, all of the scary times when there were big questions over the technology, all of the shorting attacks and these boards filled with trolls (stock bashers like yellowf1 is right now), and the spikes with these boards filled with day traders looking to pump n dump the stock (yellowf1 when hes holding stock), all of the promises that didn't materialise and those that finally have in the past 18 months.

I've read and understad all of the published Patents.

I've done analysis of all the markets that AFC were targetting and are now targetting. I've visited HQ and had a tour, way back. So you can definitely say I know this company VERY WELL.

AFC now has the commercial product, one of which was signed off by Extreme E this week as achieving ALL of the targets required for use not only as an off-grid power supply to replace diesel gensets, but for use in the extreme heat and dust of the dessert, the freezing temperatures of the Arctic, and the hot humid conditions of the jungle.

Continued in next post …..

"soon", he's looked that way for months LOL!

More rubbish to report to lse.co.uk.

Cheekboy2, not a chance.

Any JV would be just that, it wouldn't involve any company buying into AFC, and if any wanted to for a strategic partnership it definitely wouldn't be at a price lower than the market price, quite possibly it would be higher, as AFC has the technology that the other party wants, and AFC does not need the money under it's current plans, having raised £31m last July to complete those plans.

The drop is simply that shorters (probably those huge Hedge Funds) could see all of the UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell stocks had been multi-baggers, on very little news. They know now that USA is out of bounds for them, as they could lose billions there ($70Bn lost on the GameStop shorting! I take it that people wanted to Stop their Games), so the next market for them is the UK. Hence all of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell stocks got battered the day after the huge Hedge Fund USA losses.

AFC news reversed it's losses, others didn't fare quite so well but have big support, so recovered a bit.

Who knows if they are still around, their bets would have been closed pretty quickly after they forced the drop. Only troll day traders like yellowf1 would be stupid enough to stay short, with the number of things happening at AFC, and the number of enquiries hitting AFC (growing EXPONENTIALLY says Adam Bond!).

"Back at Dunsfold, our attention continues on our next system builds with Acciona and Julich and the ongoing development of our “S” Series fuel cell and Alkamem. Stay tuned for further updates."

We are awaiting an update on Alkamem and the 'S' series Fuel Cell. These are not dependent on any clients or their schedules, neither are they dependent on stock market regulations, in effect AFC could announce either of them any day they choose, at any time of the day they choose.

Likewise, work with Ricardo or ABB could be the subject of an ad-hoc RNS or PR News release.

Having just attended the Hydrogen Council meeting and updated the members on AFC's progress with Extreme E, ABB and Ricardo, and done a load of networking, new strategic partnerships could be signed any day now.

So far from being concerned about the move from 75p to 60p I am very very bullish about AFC and the near term prospects for the share price. there are always ups and downs, that is the nature of the stock market, you just have to learn to ignore the ups and downs, and stay focussed on the BIG prize further down the line.

This is from the list on here made in early January:

Price target at end of 2021:

Yellowf1 - £3.73

Duke_Arlington, yes that's right, there's a few shipping companies in the Hydrogen Council, the place where all CEO's connect with each other to work out ways to get the Hydrogen Economy moving! AB will undoubtedly have spoken with the CEO's of these companies and purveyed details of our offerings. As per my post (copied below) there is incredible potential in many areas for deals in this club! Ricardo will be dealing with other shipping companies too!

===============================

I've had a look into the Steering Members and can see a lot of strategic options, from supply of Green Ammonia and Green Hydrogen to car manufacturer Green EV Charging, to Genset replacement, to Shipping and Rail, to Alkamem licencing or sale. Basically all the things that AB talks about in interviews. So we should consider these companies as potential for strategic agreements. No way will they have overlooked AFC with them all being in the same CEO group.

That short term trader troll has been ramping it up all week, so I take it they have sold out again and is now shorting it again, probably on IG Index or similar, hence their urgency to get the SP lower, as they are losing money by the day otherwise.
