Our live Investing Matters Podcast Special which took place at the Master Investor Show discussing 'How undervalued is the UK stock market?', has just been released. Listen here.
Girlie- Lovely to see you post . Do tell us when the funeral will be. It would be much more fitting to attend to pay respects than to worry about never having had the £1.00 party previously considered

Nice one BobbyAxe!

Hey Numpty-what about one of your inimitable poems to celebrate us all having known Pdub from afar?He always appreciated your humour , I think
Kn
Very sad news and my thoughts are with his family. Thank God he had girlie next door.
I am invested here largely because of his transparent support for the company -together with that of Knuttie-and I still believe in the long run, which sadly has been denied Pdub, his predictions will be fulfilled . A man of vision perhaps ahead of his time
Good find pb940
Worth repating here-
SUZHOU, China and TOKYO, Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- i-Battery Energy Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd ("i-Battery")'s CEO, Feng Yong, in a special interview with Japanese media ENERGYBIZ, discussed the promising future deployment of i-Battery's vanadium flow batteries in the Japanese market.
Dr. Feng Yong said, "Japan is a crucial market in i-Battery's global strategy, and we are very optimistic about the opportunities in the commercial and industrial sectors of Japan. Faced with rising electricity costs and severe power supply issues in Japan, the inherent safety and the 25-year lifespan of vanadium flow batteries align well with long-termist mindset of Japanese consumers. We are committed to continuously improving our localized products and services, actively pursuing the Japanese market, and contributing to Japan's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050."
In the Japanese market, i-Battery is currently focusing on commercial and industrial energy storage, as well as some residential energy storage demands. The company is featuring two main products: a high-integration, prefabricated cabin-style product with 125kW/500kWh configuration, and a utility-side product with 250kW/1000kWh (configurable for longer durations). For residential energy storage, the company targets specific market segments with unique application needs.
i-Battery is dedicated to the R&D, production, sales, and system integration of Vanadium flow batteries. It is among the first in China to invest in the technological innovation of Vanadium batteries. The core team has deep expertise in the field of Vanadium flow batteries, having learned from Maria Skyllas-Kazacos, the inventor of Vanadium flow batteries at the University of New South Wales. i-Battery has successfully transformed laboratory technology into commercially viable products. The company owns a complete industrial chain technology, including stack hybrid sealing technology, low-resistance flow channel and pipeline design, new electrode and bipolar plate materials, and self-discharge reduction technology. Currently, the company has an annual production capacity of 300MWh, with plans to expand to 1GWh by 2024. It has signed cooperation agreements with several distributors in Europe and America, and looks forward to becoming a global supplier in the next 2-3 years, offering safe, efficient, and cost-effective long-duration energy storage products and solutions to consumers worldwide.

Thanks AlexS12. Reading that article in conjunction with listening to the you tube podcast with craigs comments about the future I found quite encouraging. If it all comes to fruition as both seem to foretell it should energise the SP. Just my view . DYOR as Pdub would say. Hope all well with him-a long term investor.

Happy New Year to the true investors -could be more prosperous too
Meanwhile , when will the world wake up to the dangers of lithium-e.g. see https://www.bing.com/search?q=Cargo+ship+carrying+burning+lithium-ion+batteries+reaches+Alaska%2c+but+kept+offshore+for+safety&filters=segment%3a%22popularnow.carousel%22&FORM=EMLAW7&bep_ref=1&bep_csid=139403

Suggest your friend contacts Cellcube!!KN
Interesting to hear that an outcome is a greater commitment to battery storage of green energy. Is Nikomarov still with Bushveld? If so time for a bit of drum banging.
No-one I speak to in the wider world seems to have heard of VRFBs, and that included a battery manufacturer!
Are we hiding our supply of light under a Bushell?
KN
Reteps -Hallelujah . Hope Pdub follows you!
Very sorry to hear you are suffering once again. I thought you were quiet, hence my post .
I am sure all who care about Bushveld wish you well.
Not met but I have valued your insightful postings .
Sure Girlie next door is looking after you and I trust the medics will sort you. Regards
KN
Good morning Pdub and all.
I, for one, have always enjoyed reading the analysis by Pdub. You have been missing recently, Pdub. Hope all is well, and would like to know your opinion upon the recent developments at Bushveld . I have been here a while and have watched the ups, the downs and the boring intervals . Meanwhile the folk who posted about 5 years ago seem to have abandoned this forum ( one might say, in the face of many insults, hardly surprisingly) .
I would like to hear "the old guard's views" . My own is that this is a slow burner which will explode into flame in the next few years, ans so I wait.
KN
If my (dubious) maths is correct, it seems the sellers are prepared to accept £3.xx million in Bushveld shares in place of real assets. If they have that much faith in the company why the heck don't other investors share their optimism.
The share price seems to me ludicrously low and Marc 001 i think is right. The future seems a lot brighter to me than it has appeared recently to be
Just my view-DYOR

Interesting news from Taiwan- see https://www.energy-storage.news/invinitys-newest-flow-battery-chosen-as-non-lithium-alternative-by-strategic-partner-everdura-in-taiwan/
KN
I see Invinity are listed as a potential winner. Don't we have an interest in them?
KN
Of the last 12 posts , only 3 were readable and 9, yes 9, were filtered. Now I am not the deciding factor but I would guess others have deleted similar trolls.
You as moderator must be able to assess which contributors are mostly filtered.
Why not block them and make this chat room less green and more readable and relevant? They are just an irritant some of whom seem mentally adversely deranged . I expect a deluge of green after this!
KN
I must thank Pdub for his researches and strong defence of this share against trolls galore. and while battling ill health - on which front power to your elbow Pdub and get well soon Knuttie -who is undergoing his second spell in ICU after his cancer operation ( hopefully successful).
However one thing I cannot understand. We have a company making the essential parts for grid scale battery storage. Why doesn't the company have a bank of its own batteries to maintain electricity supply thus eliminating the effect of load shedding, thereby improving its own performance?
KN
Hope they are using VRFBs , not Lithium?
Bit too close for comfort if Lithium!
KN
On yer bike Zaskar! Pedal off with all your other aliases.

Don't know about everybody else's view of Trevor B's negativity and continual knocking of this share-Why bother if invested in it- but I for one am fed up reading his pessimism -so sorry Trev but a red card for you and the green bin.
Keep faith folks Romw was not built in a day and the company is in a good position to progress and reward its true investors.
