If you read the July interim report... AFC state that the 100kW stacks are now back at Dunsfold awaiting intergration into the 200kW system ... "Over the past six months, we have also seen material progress in the validation of the liquid cooled, higher power density S+ Series fuel cell generators. This technology was first tested in Germany in October 2022 as part of our collaboration with ABB, and following the successful validation, multiple stacks, each more than 100kW in nameplate capacity, are now on site in Dunsfold awaiting integration into individual 200kW modules " ... if the 100kW system is an individual unit why have we never seen it ?

From the interim report ....just over 5 months ago ..." 200kW system specification consistent with first ABB system order with preparation for CE marking commenced " ..... So your " no update since " comment is not strictly true ....Hope this helps.
For those who may have missed the AFC video of their new facililties ..... https://vimeo.com/user137374544 ....in the video you can clearly hear Dan Hamilton say " we are working on a project that has accelerated far quicker than we expected " ... any guesses ?
There is an ongoing agreement between HiiRoc and Centrica which may or maynot be of interest for AFC .... https://energynews.biz/centrica-and-hiirocs-hydrogen-pilot-plant-takes-shape-at-brigg-power-station/

If we study the video that was shown of the new Ammonia Cracker system being set up .....it appears to me that this was taking place back in the summer 2023..... watch the video ....Blue skies ...shirt sleeves and trees full of leaves ....so have the trials been running for 4-6 months ? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zML4Dk78lJM

To answer your question you only need to re-read the interim report from July 2023 .... " Over the past six months, we have also seen material progress in the validation of the liquid cooled, higher power density S+ Series fuel cell generators. This technology was first tested in Germany in October 2022 as part of our collaboration with ABB, and following the successful validation, multiple stacks, each more than 100kW in nameplate capacity, are now on site in Dunsfold awaiting integration into individual 200kW modules " ......Hope this helps .
Good to finally see the 30kW system .....are there any clues as to when and where this photo was taken .....that roofline looks to low for the Dunsfold Hanger ... could that photo have been taken back in early Autumn just before shipping to Acciona ? .... hope someone will have the answers.

Do you understand the difference between fallen through and faltering ?..... Garonne feels the ABB contract has fallen through..... As you well know AFC are contracted to supply ABB with a 200kW system .....if for any reason that contract cannot be met .... then i would say that is price sensative and the market would need to be informed ...you will have also noticed that i did raise a question mark at the end of my post ... giving those with more experience the chance to offer another view ......The only other system that AFC lost out was the Juilech 100 kW system .... the Southern oil system was always subject to site engineering studies ...both which were dealt with in detail when required......Do tell which other contracted systems have AFC not delivered ?
