Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Looking likely that Danel Turk ,Global Segment Leader- Data Centers- ABB .... Will be talking AFC at next months Data Centre World Event ... https://www.datacentreworld.com/dcw-london-conference-2023/session-delivered-by-abb .....of course some would argue that he may want to talk about the ****nal ....and that shocking VAR decision... lets see.

In case you had not noticed the 100kW system for ABB has yet to be officially announced......the data figures you are seeking may well be made available when said product is made available to ABB customers.....my view is that the new system may well be announced at the Data Centre Show ......if you disagree with my view that is fine ....but you do seem to have an appetite for an argument.
When you go to a Porsche dealership do you get the sales team to fire it up and rev to 8000 RPM to show it produces the correct power ......no .....you arrange a test drive at a more convenient time ......hope that helps .

Sorry that you misunderstood my post ..... I was thinking that Powering up a 100kW Hydrogen Fuel Cell indoors at a public event my have possibly caused some Health & Safety concerns for the organisers .....therefore a static display would seems more appropriate and any " live " demonstration would be arranged at a more convenient time / location......W
Absolutely agree ...... If it is not actually producing 100kW "live" at the show it could still be displayed in the same way we had various systems on show at the Urban Air Port event .....so imminently may well be appropriate .
ABB will have live demonstrations at this years show .....https://new.abb.com/low-voltage/data-centre-world-london-2023 Could this be what we are all waiting for ..... an introduction to the 100kW system.
DW ......You will recall that Southern Oil had to pay a non-refundable deposit for their system m......The Acciona system was a joint cost project .....i a sure that the Julich system was also paid for .....And of course ABB placed an order for their systems ....so it seems likely that someone will be making an upfront payment for 2 x 600kW systems ..... ?
As far as we know VARD have never placed an order for the 2 x 600kW Systems .....it was a design concept .....Whereas ABB placed an order for a system delivery ......Who will pay AFC to develope and build 2x 600kW systems without an order .....Happy to be proved wrong .
ABB are listed as exhibitors at this years show in March ......wonder what they may want to exhibit.... https://www.datacentreworld.com/exhibitors/abb?&sortby=title%20asc&searchgroup=libraryentry-exhibitors
haggismchaggis1 You will recall back in the pre Extreme E days ...the exciting build up to the new 40kW system that was being assembled for the new race series ......we were shown photos at various stages of that build .....we were even shown photos of the trials in the AFC facility.....even photos of the system on the delivery truck to take it to the St Helena and bon voyage ....all this helped to keep us "fickle shareholders " upto date with progress .......now you seem to think AFC don't do announcements ....how bizarre.
We had Iain Thomson appointed as Head of Communications back in November 2020 ...... https://www.lse.co.uk/rns/AFC/head-of-communications-appointment-dcv9sph9lpmy46r.html ...His role never lasted long and was never replaced .....are AFC now looking to appoint a new Comm's Guru ?
Back in November i asked this question .....with no response at all ......was hoping to find the answer in the expected End Of Year Operational Report ....nope ......So i ask again ......." Would VARD have been asked to make an upfront payment for the development work that AFC are undertaking for the 2 x 600 Kw systems for the Zero Coaster project ......and is it likely that Ricardo will be involved " .
Contructivenews ...... Back in December 2021 ....AB made a presentation to the MOD at Bovington in Dorset ...which was part of Extreme E Jurassic X-prix week end ..... https://www.linkedin.com/posts/afc-energy-plc_big-thanks-to-the-uks-ministry-of-defence-activity-6876828698524360704-TVqD
I am still confused as to why AB went to Spain to promote the Power Tower and never mentioned the Methanol Tower .....That was left to Dr Mike Rendall to explain several hours after the YouTube video appeared......We are all aware that the Flex Fuel systems have hugh cost advantages over the PEM fuel cell systems of our competitors ....that was a perfect opportunity for AB to speak about the Flex Fuel systems ....but he chose not to take that opportunity....an offical update cant arrive soon enough .

If the Acciona video was filmed post Methanol Tower trial then why did AB not bring that achievemt into the interview ?.....The Methanol Tower is after all a big part of the flex fuel program.....it was clearly filmed pre Methanol Tower deployment.
Daz9643....Do AFC have a sales team ? ....Since Tom Pollard bid farewell i was not aware anyone was actually invoved in sales ....David Hatherill and Mark Barnes were just advisors ....so any selling would be down to AB.......Maybe AB was in Spain to sign some agreement for the Methanol Tower ....But why it has taken 3 months to release this video is not clear.
