"Funding for the project is yet to be approved but RWE has made a bid for EU’s Important Projects of Common European Interest scheme. If this is granted it could trigger funds from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia as interest in hydrogen fuel grows."

Arguably, the BAE Systems article today shows where H&W can be and look at the BAE share price.

Let's not forget £150k earmarked by the NI Economy Dept for evaluation of public finance options for Islandmagee

Yes Stokey, my take was that both the US Navy and Canada have shipbuilding constraint problems and H&W can help with this. If USA was to invest in North Ireland, H&W is the perfect candidate :)
