I contacted one of the directors I know at MACE as they manage large projects both in the UK and internationally.

I wrote to my MP highlighting the potential benefits of supporting PHE who in turn forwarded this to DEFRA. I received the following response.
"I appreciate you taking the time to highlight this emerging EfW technology, the details of which have been passed to the relevant policy teams".
Rebecca Pow MP

I wonder if our BOD has contacted David Attenborough and advised of the potential of the DMG to save the oceans. What better ambassador could the company have and one that the government would certainly take note.

I wrote to TUVA asking why there was no coverage of the rollout in the national press, their response:

Morning Phil,
Thanks for your email!

Happy to confirm that this story was featured in several national publications, including i News and two articles the New Statesman. When the technology was first announced earlier this year, it was also covered in the Daily Telegraph. The piece in i News was also syndicated across regional news publications and picked up by the Yahoo and MSN news services, which will have further increased exposure.

Alongside the above nationals, the launch was also covered in several relevant motoring and energy publications including Power Engineering, H2View and Electrive.

Overall, the story saw over 20 unique pieces of coverage in national and trade specific publications. On social media, AFC Energy posts saw over 5,000 impressions on Twitter and achieved an estimated news reach of a quarter of a million accounts on the platform on Thursday.

Hope this is helpful- happy to help with any other questions you may have!

Thanks,

Jack

Excellent reviews from attendees. Future is certainly looking a lot more positive after a long and at times frustrating 9 years.

De Nora: Hydrogen unavoidable to enable the energy transition
By Joanna Sampson on Oct 24, 2019
News
Italian sustainable technologies designer De Nora strongly believes in a future where fossils are no longer used for “trivial” operations such as generating electrical power or as vehicle fuel.
The transition to a 100% fossil free society will take many years and Luca Buonerba, Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer at De Nora, sees the future energy mix as being a combination of batteries, hydrogen and synthetic fuels.
“But what differentiates hydrogen from the rest is its flexibility and the possibility to be either an energy vector or a renewable feedstock for a series of downstream processes,” he tells H2 View.

“We therefore believe that hydrogen can offer an economically viable, financially attractive and socially beneficial solutions. Furthermore, in certain sectors and geographies it will be unavoidable to enable the energy transition and improve air quality in cities.”
As part of an exclusive interview, Buonerba talks to H2 View about De Nora’s origins, activities in the hydrogen sector and its partnership with AFC Energydifferent fuel cells chemistries: phosphoric acid and alkaline.
Q. Tell us about your partnership with AFC Energy, which was recently strengthened?
De Nora entered into a strategic technology collaboration with AFC Energy in 2016 through the signature of a dedicated Joint Development Agreement.
The collaboration was targeting a technological enhancement to AFC Energy’s fuel cell system, with a focus on electrode performances and longevity to further accelerate commercialisation of AFC Energy’s technology platform.
Now after couple of years of co-operation we achieved some key milestones in the electrode performance, putting AFC in a competitive position in the addressed markets:
Results of twelve-month operation of fuel cell electrode at AFC Energy’s test facility supports that life expectancy of De Nora electrodes will exceed four years in continuous operations;
Such four-year lifetime of De Nora electrodes, matching the targeted commercial longevity, allows to achieve a power conversion cost of < US$0.10 / kWh (excl. fuel cost).
AFC Energy and De Nora are continuing to develop respectively the alkaline fuel cell and the electrode technologies and we are confident that further improvements in electrode performance and reduction in cost are feasible.
The ultimate scope of our collaboration with AFC Energy is to allow them to enter the market with a low-cost product, able to compete, at least for the stationary applications, with other fuel cell technologies where due to high power cost the hydrogen route is favoured, like Korea.

DM has an article in todays paper on PHE.

It is hoped the patented technology will soon be able to power not just its own 54-acre plant in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, but 7,000 houses on the grid in a single day as well as 7,000 hydrogen-fuelled cars every two weeks in the UK.
The innovation, created in partnership with PowerHouse Energy, will then be rolled out across Asia to help eliminate plastic from oceans and beaches worldwide - with the Japanese government already interested, the firm claims.

Many conventional desalination installations will near the end of their operational life over the next few years, providing a chance for the UAE Government to retrofit and install new, more efficient methods of desalination.

DW said this was going to be a £billion company, there are plenty of people on here ramping with the price going nowhere and my advice is that you do not invest any more money until some major profits come to fruition. Just my take and as always DYOR

£3.3 Billion, not a bad profit.

The Times reports today that the sale will result in a 230p distribution to shareholders.

. Whisper it, analysts are even talking about OPG paying a dividend. With OPG set to hit 750 megawatts later this year, it is eyeing further capacity expansion to over 2,000 megawatts, according to City broker Sanlam. Analyst Mark Cartlich in a recent note said the firm has the land to expand with the capacity for another 600 megawatts possible in Gujarat and 750 in Chennai. It also has the possibility to develop up to 300 megawatts of renewable

The share price movement in the past year has done little to reflect the progress made to date by OPG Power Ventures (LON:OPG). The India-focused generator, which is led by chief executive Arvind Gupta, has passed something of a landmark. It is generating 600 megawatts of electricity now that the 180 megawatt Chennai IV plant, in Tamil Nadu state, has gone into full commercial operation. By September, it should be operating at 750 megawatts. Contrast this with a year ago when the switch on of the third Chennai power plant took capacity to 270 megawatts. So operationally, the company has come a long way in a very short space of time, with boss Gupta delivering the expansion plan on schedule and to budget. Yet the share price has been little moved in that time. For investors, this provides an opportunity – an entry point. Financially, the company will start to benefit from this buildout in the current financial year. In the one just gone, OPG posted revenues of £100mln and EBITDA of £33.4mln. The latter figure will more than double to £74mln in the current year and then move to £84mln for the year ended March 2017, according to the broker Cenkos. Debts, currently £260mln (giving a gearing of 59%), are forecast to fall to around £204mln by March 2017. Whisper it, analysts are even talking about OPG paying a dividend. As profitability grows, so the valuation starts to look compelling, based on Cenkos’ numbers. The enterprise multiple (which includes the impact of those debts) comes down from an historic 18 times to 8.1 this year and 6.6 next. Cenkos analyst Andrew Blain told investors: “With a step change in earnings and cash flow anticipated this year, we believe OPG stock is highly attractive at current levels. “A proven business model with significant expansion opportunities in a favourable macro environment makes for a compelling investment case; offering long term growth and income, we reiterate our buy recommendation.” At this point it is worth reminding ourselves of the OPG business model. Rather than go for broke (quite literally in the case of India’s dysfunctional power market) and building large, regional plants, the AIM-listed group has opted to develop smaller, modular units. And they are able to alternate between imported and locally produced coal to mitigate the input costs, while the model has always been to tap commercial demand for electricity. That said, today’s announcement revealed that Chennai IV will sell its output to the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Company for 5.50 rupees per kilowatt hour effective until September. With OPG set to hit 750 megawatts later this year, it is eyeing further capacity expansion to over 2,000 megawatts, according to City broker Sanlam.
