Ceramic Fuel Cells Some companies should prove resilient however, including Ceramic Fuel Cells, which has pioneered a way to introduce cheap electricity into the home. Most fuel cell companies are still at the experimental stage. Ceramic Fuel Cells (CFC) has already begun to manufacture products and has agreements in place with leading utility groups, such as EWE inGermany, Gaz de France and Paloma of Japan. The company has also signed a contract with UK energy provider, E.On to create a special product for the British market. CFC has two basic products, one of which provides heat, hot water and electricity for the home - a combined heat and power unity - and the other of which provides heat and electricity. The combined units are being developed in partnership with various utility companies but the heat and electricity units have been launched independently by CFC. Known as BlueGen boxes, the units are about the same size as a dishwasher. They generate electricity using natural gas so they are not entirely 'green' but they are much more efficient than mainstream commercial generators, converting each kilowatt of gas into 0.6 kilowatts of electricity, compared to conventional conversion rates of 0.4. This means they use less gas so energy bills are lower. BlueGen boxes are not cheap to buy. Coming on the market in Britain next year, they will probably set early users back by £7000 but they do pay their way. Each year, they make around two and a half times
should see some action here soon
From the Guardian Finally Chinese pharmaceutical manufacturer Taihua added 6.625p to 15.5p as the company was granted a certificate of suitability to sell its ingredients for the anti-cancer drug Paclitaxel in Europe. The drug is widely used in the treatment of lung, breast and ovarian cancers. Taihua already sells Paclitaxel ingredients to drug manufacturers in Russia and South America, and the certificate clears the way for sales into Europe.

Ramco reveals £3.4m loss, plus funding drive Published Date: 10 June 2009 RAMCO, the Aberdeen-based energy company, is seeking an investor to take a stake in its specialist wind farm business, SeaEnergy. Despite raising £1.6 million to provide working capital for SeaEnergy in April, Ramco managing director Steve Bertram said yesterday that the company was seeking to raise a "moderate" further amount of funding. He said the amount raised would deADVERTISEMENTpend on whether it took on a purely financial investor or one with expertise to offer. SeaEnergy was formed after Ramco poached the team which built the giant Beatrice demonstrator turbines from North Sea oil and gas company Talisman, which deemed the project "non-core". It has been awarded stakes in two deep-water wind farm projects off the Scottish coast in joint ventures with Scottish & Southern Energy and RWE, and has applied for further sites set to be released from the Crown Estate later this year. Also yesterday, Ramco, which owns 80 per cent of SeaEnergy, reported a pre-tax loss of £3.4 million for 2008. Its other main interest – a large stake in Mesopotamia, a joint-venture company seeking Iraqi oil services contracts – has placed a tender for a 60-well contract from Missan Oil Company. Bertram would not give details of the size of the tender, but Houston-based Weatherford International recently won a 20-well contract in Iraq worth $224m
http://www.fool.co.uk/news/investing/company-comment/2009/06/05/a-discount-to-cash-and-profitable.aspx A company operating in China under poor trading conditions may not seem like a great investment opportunity. But when it's valued at less than cash… Any company valued at less than its cash holdings, with other assets and a tiny historic price-to-earnings ratio (PER) must be worth of consideration. Add to that a degree of excitement over future products, and you have to take it seriously. But dig down a little under the surface of Taihua (LSE: TAIH), it's easy to see why its valuation has become so depressed. Trading has been difficult and anything operating in China isn't anywhere near as fashionable with investors as it was a couple of years ago. And they don't come much more Chinese than this Chinese traditional medicines and pharmaceuticals company. The products But if you're thinking it's all about mixed dried herbs and quack remedies, think again. Taihua manufacturers and supplies some very serious drugs indeed for the treatment of leukaemia and other cancers. Traditional and modern medicines largely rely on plant extracts for their key ingredients, although once identified these can often be replicated in the lab. However, preservation and further planting remains extremely important in order for new cures and drugs to be identified and developed. Taihua's main specialities are in producing paxlitaxel which is used in used in cancer chemoth
