ActaCleanEnergy ‏@H2Acta 35m Acta will present the lowest cost #Renewable Energy Storage & Telecom Backup Power System at the @H2FC_Hannover Forum at 12:40 on 10.04.2013

I think he’s managed to hook a few and wind them in today, I’m just having a bit of fun while waiting for the next bit of news …………

I wouldn’t be expecting too much in the results revenue wise. Order book should hopefully show continued growth from where it stood in Nov, €970k Updates on the agreements signed to date is what I’m looking for, along with outlook for the rest of the year. I still think that it’s the Interims in Sep that will give more of an idea of progress.

Ballard are highlighting a report done by Ericsson ………… they say there Fuel Cells are in most the Countries highlighted that accounted for almost 50% of growth in Q4 2012. And as it happens they are the same areas that Acta’s unique Electrolyser is being deployed ………… it’s a huge market that Acta finds itself in …………. But we already knew that! http://www.ballard.com/files/PDF/Market_Updates/Market_Update_-_Mobile_Services_Feb2013.pdf

Lindoser ………. I don’t think it has any connection to Acta, it says who it’s with in the link ……….. Ballard has had some great news of late! I think it is a decent investment and it comes with currency hedges in either US Dollars or Canadian Dollars. zijlhof .......... Acta have a link to Ballard through Ballards distributer in Indonesia Cascadiant (see Jan 15th RNS) as well as M-Field energy, Heliocentris etc. as they use Ballards fuel cells in their products. The latest link (which was a direct link) was the Ecoisland news, in the RNS it states that Acta would be working with Dantherm Power ………… Ballard has a controlling interest in Dantherm Power.

zijlhof ........... I think it’s a fair guess that the results come this month, can’t add anything to that.

Email response from Acta’s CEO regarding the Ecoisland shenanigans ………… it shows that most of us were right with where the blame lies, and it’s certainly not with Acta. But for anyone with a doubt take a look at Specialist101’s 9:16 post on iii http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:ACTA.L&display=discussion&it=le

I’ve not seen a video demo from Acta but if you want to know how the end product works take a look at the three quick video links below from Future E who have replaced their PEM electrolyser unit with Acta’s (RNS 21st Nov) ………… the first shows how the Fuel Cell unit is set up, the second shows how Acta’s Electrolyser fits in and that the fuel required is water and the whole system runs off either Solar PV or Wind or both ……….. the third shows an actual renewable unit on a German Telecoms site and a translated commentary on how it works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-u5w-EdGcY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGB1GBSXb9g http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=g0jMe64wLHc This next one shows Horizons desk top electrolyser (which some of us think will soon be using Acta’s tech, RNS 8th May), it’s not brilliant as it’s actually about their fuel cell re-charger but they do show that you put water in the tank, zap it with electric and Hydrogen and Oxygen are formed on either side of the membranes in the stack, the oxygen goes into air and the Hydrogen in this case is stored in their little battery like Hydrostic which then powers the fuel cell ………… that’s basically the principal of all water electrolysers http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RnnhqNCT0Ak

I’m not suggesting this has anything to do with ACTA but it’s worth remembering they have fingers in pies …………… the DoD “Malone and the Renewable Energy team wrote the requirements for the system and coordinated with a contractor that produced the hardware. The team will test and evaluate the system in a lab at China Lake before sending it out with troops for field testing. “Since this system only needs water to operate, one of its biggest benefits is reducing the logistics requirements associated with fuel convoys, which could save lives,” says Wayne Taylor, program manager for the Renewable Energy Office. http://www.militaryaerospace.com/articles/2013/03/Navy-renewable-energy.html from the interims 2012 ………. “The Company has also continued its third-party research services contract, now in its third year, paid for by the US Department of Defense, a major US industrial manufacturer, and a number of leading US Universities. Due to the Company's long-established and world-leading expertise in alkaline electro-catalysis, Acta is retained as an expert for the testing and characterisation of new catalysts and membranes developed by the project partners.” http://www.investegate.co.uk/acta-s.p.a.-(acta)/rns/interim-results/201209270700132709N/ From the original RNS ……….“The contract is part of the US Department of Defense ("DoD") project won by DuPont for the development of a Next Generation Man Wearable Power System, which aims to develop a small, lightweight, efficient and low cost wearable fuel cell system to power the US infantry's electronic battlefield equipment. The system will be based on alkaline membrane fuel cell technology and non-platinum catalysts, in order to achieve the technical and commercial criteria specified by the DoD.” http://www.investegate.co.uk/acta-s.p.a.-(acta)/rns/development-contract/200911250700049866C/

ActaCleanEnergy‏@H2Acta Check out our new product data sheets for #hydrogen generators on our website http://www.actagroup.it/products_el500r.asp … http://www.actagroup.it/pdf/ACTA_El500R-1000R.pdf http://www.actagroup.it/products_el500r.asp

This is about the third time Acta have tweeted about Forze V the Hydrogen/Fuel Cell powered racing car ………… wonder if Acta are supplying an electrolyser for the Hydrogen, I can’t find anything specific so at the moment it’s just in my jumbled mind. ActaCleanEnergy‏@H2Acta Forze V to be Exhibited at Hannover Messe http://shar.es/jBqfd Looking forward to seeing them at the exhibit!

This is probably a bit early to be mentioning it but for anyone who has the time and is interested, the Hannover Messe is a great platform for listening to the CEO’s and Engineers of the various companies that exhibit on the Live web link (I listened to quite a lot last year and learned a fair amount). Acta have one slot on Wednesday (they had three last year) confirmed and interestingly M-Field Energy have one on the Friday which might shed a light on whether it is Acta’s Electrolyser in their units. http://www.h2fc-fair.com/hm13/forum/forum.html

Nothing wrong with disagreeing …………. It’s a shame in the sense that two companies in a market still in its nappies (ACTA & ITM) can’t work together to promote their tech on a single project ……….. Some might think that’s naïve but I’d say look at the car manufactures, they aren’t embarrassed to admit that they need to work together to get FC Cars off the ground. Supplying a free fuel cell scooter is just common sense on the part of ACTA and APFCT, I’d expect them to do more of the same in the future.

Can’t control Mr Market, wish I could at times, lol If he does take a dim view on the loss of ONE “letter of intent” then there is going to be an opportunity for some. Let’s wait and see

Creature …………. Yeah you’re right at least the uncertainty has gone, it’s still a shame, certainly not the end of the world though…………. Can’t win them all!

There is plenty of big movement in this sector right now ………. this is a big deal for Ballard and for fuel cells in general. http://fuelcellsworks.com/news/2013/03/06/ballard-signs-long-term-engineering-services-contract-to-advance-volkswagen-ag-fuel-cell-automotive-research-program/

Another positive bit of news related to Hyundai and Fuel Cells ............ and Hydrogen of course http://www.hydrogencarsnow.com/blog2/index.php/hydrogen-cars/hyundai-mobis-creating-tucson-ix35-fcev-parts/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Quick tweet from Acta ActaCleanEnergy‏@H2Acta After a great week at #FCExpo in Tokyo we are looking forward to the Hannover Messe in April @H2FC_Hannover where Acta will be at booth B59 Here’s the link to the Hydrogen/Fuel Cell part of the messe http://www.h2fc-fair.com/index.html

Don’t forget Acta don’t make fuel cells, their membrane is used for turning water into Hydrogen and Oxygen ……….. although Acta have said that they are working with Universities to try and utilise their tech for fuel cells. Acal energy have come up with a liquid solution for fuel cells that uses 80% less platinum than a normal PEM fuel cell …………. I’ve been keeping an eye on them for a while, but they aren’t listed which is a shame because the tech looks good. Finally took the plunge into CAP today, the trading statement made my mind up but I can’t believe my luck with the timing of their biggest shareholder driving the price back down again ……….. roll on April.

Is it still going ahead, is it not ………. This article seems to think yes, as of yesterday. http://profeng.com/news/hydrogen-storage-trial-gets-underway
