Today Apple announced it will invest in the construction of two of the world’s largest onshore wind turbines, a source of clean, renewable energy that will bring its supply chain and products one step closer to carbon neutrality. Located near the Danish town of Esbjerg, the 200-meter-tall turbines are expected to produce 62 gigawatt hours each year

~~~~~~~

Last month, Apple announced its plans to become carbon neutral across its entire business, manufacturing supply chain, and product life cycle by 2030.

passing on!

There's a web browser app that can be used on mobiles called Ecosia the company plants trees and other green investments with profits raised (80%+ goes to doing so) its been featured on the BBC:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53922786

The mobile version is a completely installed browser and there's a search engine plugin version for PC's to add to Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, so far they have planted 106 million trees.

I've tried this for a week or so and all seems fine with the performance and if you want to disable it's easily done.

They publish monthly reports showing where the funds go:

Just spreading the word, please consider passing.

Yes I assumed it was because the contract is still not signed yet, but thought I had better not say that as I would be accused of being a troll again and trying to get the price down.

***Contrary to what people think I would love this to get to 45p as soon as possible so I can sell up, as after 6 years of being significantly down it will actually feel like I’ve made a profit***

18 Aug 2020 12:13

... ***after 6 years of pain, for 15mins or so this morning I appear to have been at breakeven when the SP just went over 16p***

I never thought I'd see this money again .... hold on it's dropped back to just over 15p .... was that my only chance to get out or will I get another chance? I still can't believe yet that this share price will multibag from here .... surely something has got to go wrong - after all it is KDNC!

Only wish I had reduced my average when the SP was at 3p as opposed to when it was at 9p :)

Oh well I hope you are all right and this hits 50p+

16p 0r 45p???

isb1974, no I'm not stalking you on the KDNC BB - it's where you decided to post your inconsistent dribble spreading negativity and doubt and advising newbies about the dangers of investing here - at the same time contradicting yourself over and over.

As far as your situation goes, I have been at an AGM where the SP dropped by 40%+ on the morning due to a 7:00 AM RNS - I was already travelling up to London and got the alert minutes after boarding the train - the share was plagued by a drug-taking alcoholic share tipster and bands of trolls on many BB's slating the company.

Well - what I recall is a gentleman standing up and addressing those present at the AGM explaining how he would be heading home to tell his teenage family and wife that the home would be reprocessed:

You just seem to be all over the place with your posts that to me doesn't warrant the negativity - so you will be moving on at 16p?

There seems to be very little activity from the Green bandits/double - treble aliases since the news today?

Strange as some are big holders here apparently, just a coincidence I expect.

iamrich, calling 16p by Friday close - that would mean isb1974 hits breakeven and will be parting company unless he misses the sell button and has to exit at 40p+

isb1974 1st September
I don’t know about £12k up, but if I ever get to £1k up I’m selling!

Will sell at breakeven, but I’m guessing if it gets anywhere near 45p then it could go past it quite quickly before I get the chance to sell.

My only hope is that Amapa comes off and the SP spikes.

If I was £12k up now I would sell and move on.

quite bizarre unless he is using 2nd class post to place orders?

100% with on that obs,

I've followed the progress of Orsted from their transition from fossil fuel (Danish Oil aNd Gas DONG) to green energy:

In the same way, the cost of generating wind power has dropped by more than 60% since 2012, renewable hydrogen could follow the same experience curve. With the right investment and continued research, it can become, low-cost and widely available, and a realistic part of the green energy system.


https://orsted.co.uk/energy-solutions/renewable-hydrogen

And of course a nice corporate PR video:

https://orsted.co.uk/

Hi obs,

Of course, cost is the question, whereby extracting hydrogen from natural gas is considered far cheaper than using green produced hydrogen but then having to process the carbon is still an issue, now what interests me is this I posted over the last few days on other BB's:

https://www.carbonbrief.org/wind-and-solar-are-30-50-cheaper-than-thought-admits-uk-government

In 2013, the UK government estimated that an offshore windfarm opening in 2025 would generate electricity for £140/MWh. By 2016, this was revised down by 24%, to £107/MWh. The latest estimate puts the cost at just £57/MWh, another 47% reduction.
What will be the true costs in 2025?

We might be looking at green hydrogen production costs today that are significantly inflated over the true costs and most certainly of those within the next few years.

There's plenty of projects underway looking to develop 100% Hydrogen networks and the European stimulus plan.

https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/news/eu-commission-charts-path-towards-100-renewable-hydrogen/

“The new hydrogen economy can be a growth engine to help overcome the economic damage caused by COVID-19,” said Frans Timmermans, the Commission executive vice-president in charge of the Green Deal. “In developing and deploying a clean hydrogen value chain, Europe will become a global frontrunner and retain its leadership in clean tech,” he said.

*I wouldn't be a holder here if hydrogen wasn't an available fuel source.

Too many green bands filling the BB today, the green bandits are out in force.

I wonder what the true cost of power generation will be come 2025?

This drastic reduction in generation costs makes battery storage compelling.

ian12, there's been a great deal of coverage on the NDB company, there's an absence of hard figures in their tech claims. If you look at their video graphics you will see it's the same as in this from Bristol University who seem to be the origins of the tech used by NDB,

The video shows a very low powered Nano Diamond Battery :

There's obviously great potential for this:

**now for fear of being shot in bed**

I have smoke alarms with lithium batteries that have a ten-year life without needing a recharge.

Oh well it's been around for a while and NDB claim they have achieved 40% efficiency without defining what that actually means other than existing NDB's achieve 15% - still lot's of questions to be answered.

If they could achieve what they suggest it would be the biggest leap in technology since men took to the air (my view)

Yes, bobminor

I did allude to April 1st,

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/diamonds-could-be-forever-in-nuclear-powered-battery-project

Just for FrankieH!

NDB’s proprietary, universal, self-charging battery provides a charge for the entire lifetime of a device or machine, with up to 28,000 years of battery life. Poised to completely transform the concept of energy, NDB can power devices and machines of any size, from aircraft and rockets to electric vehicles, hearing aids, smartphones, sensors and more, all with no carbon emissions. With nanotechnology rooted in industry-leading science, NDB has closed the energy supply and demand gap, solving one of the largest problems facing society today.

Nano Diamond Battery (NDB) and technology is Diamond Nuclear Voltaic (DNV)

It will be very interesting to see how this propagates news channels, now if this was April 1st I would applaud their creativeness but if serious!!

This is new to me, Nuclear Diamond Battery NDB.

battery life up to 28,000 years - no charging required?

I don't recall ever seeing anything reesmbling these claims other than in sci-fi films.

Masterbaker,

there's certainly a great deal of excitement around the Tesla battery day on 22nd September and whether it's Silicon nanotubes or development from the Maxwell technology (or a combination) the world is watching, I was looking at the Amprius tech and about 18 months ago the CEO said production costs and charging cycles were a challenge and Airbus were paying extremely high prices to test the tech -- have they overcome this? - Amprius now located in within feet of Tesla Fremont.

You have to wonder how the car giants are dealing with the lead Tesla has and seems to be running away with, let's not lose focus on the imminent disruption to ICE and power generation:

https://www.carbonbrief.org/wind-and-solar-are-30-50-cheaper-than-thought-admits-uk-government
Despite this small reduction, the much larger cuts for renewables mean onshore wind and solar are now expected to be half as costly as gas in 2025, as shown in the chart below.

~~~~~
Now consider at the moment we pay roughly x4 for electricity than we do for gas per Kwh --- does this not path the way for the uptake of mass storage?

Thanks, Barksy1*

Also from that link:

The Tony Seba crystal ball?

isb and munchy are playing good cop bad cop, I spotted this on Friday.

Masterbaker,

As of May 2019 there were some issues with productions costs and this covers some of that:

https://youtu.be/yVfpYlm9aJA?t=369

The company is within feet of some of the Fremont Tesla buildings away from the main factory.

As with most of Elon Musks news releases, he leaves people guessing, battery day should reveal all!

Perhaps this could answer a question I've been pondering upon, Tesla is due to launch the new Roadster late 2020 and since it's announcement has claimed it will have a 620-mile range and top speed of 250mph with 0-60 in 1.9 secs - how on earth would they get double range?

Well, this breakthrough battery using Silicon nanotubes seems to have been in development for a few years and was leaked:

https://youtu.be/yVfpYlm9aJA?t=305

This could really shake up the EV market with the large manufacturers still behind Tesla on the current battery tech.
