Ob,

What's the earliest date you believe Volvo would be in a position to sign a commercial deal?

To the nearest quarter.

Another entry,
11/27/2020 Conclusions for Decision

So a year has past and making allowances for COVID-19 all we can say is we know it's Volvo and at the very least a year testing and then if the outcome is satisfactory then they MAY test it in a Volvo engine.

N0V 13th 2019
MARINE DEVELOPMENT



Further to the market update on 26th April 2019, the Company is pleased to announce that it has taken further steps in applying the Stirling engine application, as developed by the Company for its mCHP boilers, in diversified sectors. To this end, the Company has been invited to demonstrate its Stirling technology to a large scale Swedish Marine engine manufacturer with a view to initiating the successful design, development and testing to produce a unit application for the marine and shipping industry; if successful, such application could generate a significant contact for the Company. To assist in achieving this, the Inspirit team will be demonstrating a 3D model of the redesigned engine and application during January 2020.

The problem I have is this contradicts hoe far advanced they are, from Junes update:

The board believe that the "Inspirit Charger " is over 50% compatible for the marine engine application and would reduce considerable time in research and development. The board will provide further updates in due course.

######

I would like to see what CH put on the table - could it have been a better proposition than the Volvo opportunity, Volvo is looking to 2030 with zero financial input as far as we know.

maidit308,

I'm not so sure that news will come anytime soon from Volvo, twelve months testing and IF successful MAY lead to a test in a Volvo engine -

This letter of support validates Inspirit's technology and underlines the Company's ability to capitalise on the ever-changing market and greater demand from consumers for environmentally friendly, energy efficient and cost saving products. The technology will be tested over the next 12 months and if successful may lead to a test of the system in a Volvo engine to confirm the efficiency and output.


Peter Granqvist, SVP Product Dev. Planning and Purchasing, Volvo commented:

"Inspirit has an interesting proposition with the development of its Waste Heat Recovery technology which aligns with our own aims of increasing the efficiency of the engines we manufacture in support of Volvo's Agenda 2030 sustainability objectives. On success of the application, we believe this proposal will enhance the development of innovative solutions that will unlock new market opportunities for us particularly for generator sets and marine engines."

*** why does it need twelve months testing they have been dabbling with this tech for years***

3D print, fit and test 3 months!

I'm not happy that a potential customer has turned his back on The company in favour for competing technology, like I said are we backing a Nikola truck?

Well, we didn't ship in July and as the year passes by the reasons most invested here are becoming a reality, in fact, unstoppable.

I'm sure I share the disappointment they haven't to date secured the court ruling and began shipment, oh well at least we have other assets that should see the SP pick up.

If the timing was in our favour I would have three or four exciting companies to take a holding in - still not a write off so happy to hold as always!

Let's see a working product, this has gone on far too long, I'm beginning to think this might be another Nikola truck!

Google that if you don't know what I'm saying.

Now is the window of opportunity.

Brussels will next month propose standards for the carbon footprint of batteries, while a private-public EU alliance aims to boost domestic supplies of the raw materials needed to make cells. That follows a similar EU scheme for battery projects launched in 2017.

Possibilities,

I don't know if it is Netzeroready,

a few posts suggest it may be them, just a possibility,

https://eqtec.com/business-model/

EQTEC are concentrating in USA and Europe, Siemens has also been suggested a possible but they also operate in Asia so I would say less likely

If you follow the thread,

thought ild post these again

but we still havent heard anything about the boiler....(which apparently doesnt exist and was designed and constructed by a company which has no emplyess(if you listem to the bashers)) now hes got 150k to play with some off it may go to testing again (takes 2 mnths) but even so the 'boiler' which it isnt its a mchp the tech from that is developing other fields. so we have the boiler (mchp) to get news from and updates on volvo penta and the gasifier (eqtec??) (which apparently wouldnt touch us with a barge pole(according to the bashers)) ohh and i forget the letter off support is just nothing and not worth the paper its written on (according to the bashers) the reason i bought the shares i have is not CH its the fact that there is so and i mean so many folk bashing this stock.....and its mostly been proven to be made up/lies all imho etc etc

Well, maybe I didn't digest the INSP RNS - so the answer 'mature pipeline' and so a possibility INSP might be part of the news when EQTEC finalise the agreement, or before perhaps in which less than a month.

The purpose of this collaboration would be to enable Inspirit to support the heat recovery processes within this partner's applications, by using Inspirit's Stirling technology to design a unit to give substantial Kw output and to generate opportunities to develop commercial applications inside this leading technology company's mature project pipeline in the USA, UK and Europe.

oldblue1973,

as you have mentioned EQTEC, any thoughts on whether INSP my have been in discussions on this project, or perhaps it's too far advanced for them to be involved?

Product Update- possible new application and collaboration

Inspirit Energy Holdings PLC (AIM: INSP), the developer of micro Combined Heat and Power (microCHP) solutions is pleased to announce that it is in discussions regarding a possible collaboration with an engineering company with expertise in advanced gasification.

The purpose of this collaboration would be to enable Inspirit to support the heat recovery processes within this partner's applications, by using Inspirit's Stirling technology to design a unit to give substantial Kw output and to generate opportunities to develop commercial applications inside this leading technology company's mature project pipeline in the USA, UK and Europe. In particular, Inspirit may be afforded the opportunity to participate in district heating, waste-to-energy and other energy infrastructure projects using the partner's gasification technology.

These discussions are currently ongoing and Inspirit will update the market as and when the parties have entered into a formal collaboration.

I hope you can read it, positive for lithium and a balanced account on other technologies

A little bit of digging I did in the week and posted on EMH and ZNWD,

Some of this has already been touched upon but another look!

Chinese company Tinci are building an electrolyte manufacturing plant in CR to produce 100,000t they supply CATL and recently signed with Tesla, they have chosen CR to be close to their customers.

Zinnwald lithium is planning to fast track to production and produce lithium fluoride initially from Zinnwald lithiums website :
The integrated plant has been designed to initially process 522,000 t of ore per year (average of first 5 years of production), producing 5,112 tpa of lithium fluoride, (7,285tpa LCE). The plant will scale up to process up to 600,000 tonnes of ore per year over the life of the mine.

From a commissioned report by Deutsche lithium in 2019 on the BCN website:

https://www.bacanoralithium.com/cms/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Zinnwald-Technical-Report-compressed.pdf

Fraunhofer estimates, that mid-case consumption of LiF in electrolyte production will be in the range of 20,000 t/a to 40,000 t/a by 2030, depending on LiF density remaining in the electrolyte in the range of 5 % to 10 %.
So maybe Zinnwald will concentrate on lithium fluoride with EMH lithium carbonate and hydroxide to supply European customers -

And as it happens Tinci's factory in Bohumin is just 27Km from the He3da battery plant Horní Suchá near Havirov - remember He3da signed a memorandum with EMH so another possible customer for both electrolyte and carbonate/hydroxide.

Some further background Tinci currently produce 50,000t of electrolyte in China and have more plants under construction to reach a capacity of 450,000t (electrolyte material) so maybe up to 45,000t of lithium salts /fluoride
You can see plenty of news around Tinci here:

https://www.yicaiglobal.com/search?expression=tinci

So the output from ZNWD could possibly supply Tinci, I'm sure you will find electrolyte production ie specialised so Tinci is in a good position to supply many battery cell manufacturers.

I could be totally wrong of course.

Yes, Hop House 13 is made by Guinness - distinctively not black!

Tesla will not buy a lithium producer or Cobalt, maybe Nickel - IMVHO

with you on that enteleon, but would add this for consideration,

I too share in the sadness and thoughts of the LTH's here learning of Denver21's health situation, I hope the turnaround in the performance of KDNC and our assets bring additional financial security to his family and he is rewarded for his time and belief in what is unfolding in energy and transport disruption - you were on the ball, Pete!
