"The AEM "S" Series platform is being accelerated through the ABB sale agreement, across each of the "air cooled" and "liquid cooled" platforms with early delivery of a 100kW liquid cooled system expected in late 2022, and a 200kW liquid cooled system deployment, integrated with an Ammonia cracker, pencilled for early 2023. It is this product platform which will form the basis of all larger scale, high power dense systems expected to be delivered across the "S" Series where Ammonia is considered the low-cost hydrogen carrier of choice, including data centres and maritime. "
"The S Series is set for validation at 100kW scale in the second half of 2022 as part of the ABB deployment announced a few weeks ago. Scale up of the batch-to-batch manufacturing process is underway and is a precursor to a larger mass produced "reel to reel" process. "

Commercial Highlights
"First commercial order of S Series liquid cooled fuel cell system received from ABB worth up to Β£4m"
"Next milestone payment of Β£1 million due upon delivery of initial 100kW unit scheduled for this year"
Outlook
"Expected delivery in latter part of the year of ABB's first milestone of 100kW high energy dense S Series Liquid Cooled fuel cell system run on Hydrogen"
Progress on collaborations
"In November 2021, we announced the sale and development agreement with ABB."
"By committing to purchase the first 'S' series liquid cooled system, ABB is helping to fund the wider liquid cooled platform project - the basis for all larger (>100KW) fuel cell systems envisaged for use in maritime, data centre and large stationary power installations. ABB's participation provides us with direct end user feedback on the system which will form the basis for continuous product development improvements."
Fuel cell platforms
"Further development work has been done on integration platforms which drive modularity and scalability for our customers; specifically, the first Power Tower units have been developed and are part of the initial production run for field trialling. It is likely that the air cooled platform will form the basis of all systems up to (approx.) 100kW nameplate capacity."
"In addition to the 2.5kW air cooled fuel cell module, we have also commenced a sizeable piece of work in delivering a fast track liquid cooled system supported by ABB's partnership with us. The liquid cooled system will most likely be sized in modules of 100kW and therefore provide the platform for larger scaled systems designed for the maritime and data centre markets."
"In each of these configurations, being air cooled or liquid cooled, we expect to have the ability to offer both alkaline and hybrid based systems. In the short term, focus will be on early stage hybrid system deployment at sub 100kW scale where hydrogen or methanol are likely to provide an earlier route to market, with ammonia lending itself to larger scale systems.
