Gordon Stein, CFO of CleanTech Lithium, explains why CTL acquired the 23 Laguna Verde licenses. Watch the video here.
The only way they can do this is using fuel cells. There is no way whatsoever the grid will cope with this. I liked this bit -
"Secondly was ABB’s ability to support rapid deployment, with more than 10 new Electric Hubs planned to be in service before the end of 2021."
Better get your finger out AFC, your getting an order any day now ! Even at lowest number of units per site ( 6 as per article) thats 60 units needed potentially. Grid might be able to supply some of the required power so lets round that down to 50 units required by end 2021 !
In the distant past didnt we have a target market in Korea? Or am I mistaking that for another company?
Anyway - the Koreans seem to be taking the hydrogen economy pretty seriously.

So is the RO membrane mentioned in the article ( the one that works) called Alkamem? Made by an innovative market leading UK company ? The article is dated 29/09/20 so is bang up to date.
Did Afc send a few samples to Penn State for testing and is this going to be part of the update from the conference?

This article mentions Tresoil and is dated 9/9/20 so it seems things are still progressing as it mentions building 50 waste to energy plants within 10 years.
There is a date on the start up hub page of 30th August 2018 which then links you to Tresoil. Not up to date it seems but gives some idea of estimated build costs and revenue. I have no idea if the page has been updated since the date indicated.
The cost for a single turnkey unit is estimated at 9 million Euro - including transportation to Romania. Revenue of £3 million per annum ( estimated). Won't take long to recoup that initial investment.
I'm sure Peel with their clout and economies of scale will shave a million or two of the build costs - so not a massive investement required at all in the grand scheme of things.

from the engsolve website -
"A refinery customer has purchased a containerised system to deliver 160kW of electrical power using their waste hydrogen stream. AFC Energy contacted Engsolve for provision of Process Engineering support to develop a FEED package for their customer"
Sounds like that might be an order ??
Birth of a monster sounds good to me :)
Is it back on then?
Back in the day a few posters ( can't remember who) mentioned providing cigars, champagne and good rum :)
