Beginning to sound a bit more like a professional organisation and hopefully with the redisigned website stands in good stead over the coming year

Sturmtrupper eugene Shvidler has home in Colorado thats were thallion are registered

The seller could thallion selling some of there 6million plus shares they got for 3p or like i said it could be eugene Shvidler in a different guise (thallion)would make sense for him to be selling some of his own shares knowing if afc draw down he will get warrants and could cash them in in a few years for who knows how much

Here is my theory not to sure about the brothers bit ,could be a red herring, hey goes Eugene Shvidler is (thalion) and that's why he has been selling he is an American citizen and has a home in Colorado coincidence or what

Here is my theory not to sure about the brothers bit ,could be a red herring, hey goes Eugene Shvidler is (thalion) and that's why he has been selling he is an American citizen and has a home in Colorado coincidence or what

Apart from draw downs and convertible notes i guess this will hand a good deal of shares to thalion and remember they were handed 6,666,667 shares at 3p as payment of the arrangement fee

If they want to show the ev charger working does that mean that when they rns early in the year the picture of the bmw plugged into the charger that was just a mock up then and like someone said was probably just plugged into the electric socket

I would guess the way aim works more likely to be a draw down after all of there is as much going on as the rns says then they are going to need some cash

If afc hit 45p again then i will not be selling as far as I am concerned that would mean they would be well on the way to the pounds dream dream dream

The EV Roadshow - Driving Clean Growth Across The UK!

As part of the drive towards a cleaner UK, the EV Roadshow will hit UK roads and cities this November, as an Official event forming part of the BEIS Green GB Week, scheduled for early 2020.

This year, we will engage with fleet, transport and business professionals, as well as consumers, in 5 UK cities… all within the 5 days between 4th and 8th November. Each of the 5 events will feature a large display of the very latest in ULEV technology, including vehicles and charging solutions, and coupled with a giant TV screen

The major shift has been the increasing recognition of hydrogen’s potential, both by individual states, such as Queensland and Western Australia, and by the federal government. They’ve implemented hydrogen strategies and put money behind major hydrogen projects designed to either produce hydrogen or test its various applications, or both.

You’ve also got companies like Australian Gas Infrastructure Group, pipeliner Jemena, LNG exporter Woodside Petroleum, France’s Engie and Norway’s Yara involved in early-stage projects in various parts of the supply chain for hydrogen.

Despite this progress, Australia is still a long way from realising its potential to transform wide-ranging parts of our economy, from power generation to transport, industrial heating and more.

We’re looking forward to hearing about more technologies being explored and backed which would ensure Australia makes use of hydrogen’s transformative potential not just as an export, but domestically, as a clean energy source.

Q. What hydrogen-related innovation, application or technology makes you most excited for the future?

Obviously we’re incredibly excited about HERO’s potential. Given the need to transition away from coal-fired power, and with countries like Germany choosing to shut down their coal power stations, we see its most immediate application as replacing coal boilers in existing power plants.

In this way, it can help address one of the several most challenging issues facing the world today.

First, the oppositional relationship/zero-sum game between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ energy economies, where one fears being put out of business by the other, rather than complimenting and relying on one another.

Second, countries can continue to produce the critical baseload energy needed to fill the netload generation gap when renewables like solar and wind can’t meet demand.

Third, by using existing infrastructure, HERO can reduce the overall cost of our energy transition and increase the speed with which we can get there. It would help keep these facilities, many of which have yet to reach the end of their useful lives, and allow us to maintain grid stability – which has come under significant pressure as renewables flood the market. We’re really excited to be getting ever closer to this reality.

Lastly, the demand that HERO creates for green hydrogen will accelerate the realisation of a broader hydrogen economy, encouraging the inevitable realisation of the economies of scale needed to produce clean hydrogen at a feasible cost – with knock-on beneficial impacts across a broad range of industries.

Another innovation/technology Star Scientific is excited about is the super-critical carbon dioxide turbine (sCO2). While not directly hydrogen related, we believe that in conjunction with HERO’s clean heat generation these tiny, super-efficient turbines will completely transform energy production in the future.

Star Scientific: Significant momentum for hydrogen in Australia

By Joanna Sampson on Sep 18, 2019NEWS

For nearly two decades, Sydney-based Star Scientific has been working on how humanity can transition to a new energy economy, independent of fossil fuels that damage the environment and pose a threat to sustainable future growth.

Backed by philanthropists and scientists who share the company’s passion for solving this problem, Star Scientific has invested $85m in Australian research and development (R&D) to deliver on this ambitious but achievable goal.

Star Scientific’s major breakthrough is the Hydrogen Energy Release Optimiser (HERO®). It produces unlimited, affordable, safe and reliable energy – with zero emissions.

According to the company, this truly innovative source of dispatchable power and heat can propel Australia and the world to overcome the most difficult energy challenges.

H2 View sat down with Andrew Horvath, Star Scientific’s Global Group Chairman, to find out more about the HERO technology and talk about the increased momentum towards hydrogen and its applications in Australia.

Q. What activities related to hydrogen is Star Scientific currently pursuing?

Star Scientific is currently focused on scaling and commercialising our breakthrough technology, the Hydrogen Energy Release Optimiser (HERO®). This green hydrogen-fuelled technology can rapidly produce a clean, zero-emission source of heat, reaching over 700 degrees Celsius in minutes.

The larger the surface area of the catalyst and the more hydrogen is introduced into the system, the more heat is generated. The only byproduct is pure water.

We are also pursuing a research project in conjunction with the University of Newcastle that is investigating the possibility of producing hydrogen from a special catalytic paint. This continues research already begun by RMIT University.

We are undertaking a feasibility study with a major power provider in New South Wales to further refine HERO to suit power plant applications – where we expect it to replace coal boilers as the heat-generator that turns the steam turbines, creating the reliable baseload power needed to keep our grid stable and our economy running as our energy system transitions.

Q. What changes have you seen within the hydrogen ecosystem and community in Australia in the past year?

There’s been a significant increase in momentum towards the creation of a hydrogen economy in Australia. We’ve seen a rapid acceleration of conversations about hydrogen and its applications entering the mainstream media, for example.

This is in line with the International Energy Agency declaring 2019 a critical year for hydrogen, in which it may well fulfil its longstanding potential a

Brazilian scientists unveil new hydrogen production technology

A new technology which is capable of producing large quantities of hydrogen without the need to use electrolysis or other chemical additives has supposedly been developed by two Brazilian scientists.

The PQCR-4E claims to be the “world’s first” self-contained system that uses low power to generate hydrogen from desalinated water using a four-stage process.

The first stage of the system consists of a neodymium magnetisation channel, in which the concentric magnetic field acts on the SPIN electron, pre-magnetising its orbits.

The second stage remains magnetised by the magnetic channel and converges into an inductive channel, where water is directed to an inductive and resonant core with the internal capacitance of the plasma injection unit and the radiofrequency resonator channel allowing resonance of the water molecule, minimising the use of molecular disruption energy.

The third stage remains magnetised in molecular resonance and proceeds to the modulated laser channel, where the molecule receives photons that allow quantum leaps with the release of electrons and the breakdown of molecular bonds.

The fourth stage allows the complete breakdown of covalent water connections after pre-molecular instability. The resonant cavity of the channel capacitor allows the decomposition of water by the resonant cavity.

The technology developed by the Scientists will be able to supply large amounts of hydrogen using as little energy as possible. The produced hydrogen can be used in fuel cells, power generators, turbines, boilers, industrial furnaces and hydrogen filling stations.

According to Giovane Sabino, an engineer responsible for research and development of the new technology, the PQCR-4E system has the potential to bring multiple benefits to the market.

“The system can eliminate the high cost of hydrogen production once and for all because it does not use the electrolysis process and additional chemical components for its conception. The system also eliminates the need to use hydrogen tank storage because the system has the ability to produce large amount of hydrogen in real time using little energy,” said Sabino.

“The technology also eliminates the need for hydrogen filling stations at strategic points, making the cost-benefit of this technology unique. The fully scalable technology can be manufactured to be used to supply hydrogen in various types of fuel cells that are used in electric vehicles as well as boilers and turbines for thermal power plants.”

If proved to be successful, the hydrogen production technology represents a scientific breakthrough which meets the market’s call for a viable solution to meet hydrogen production needs for use in various fields.

At the NH3 Event in Rotterdam, in May 2018, ZBT presented an update on the ammonia cracking technology it had developed for Project Alkammonia, by which ammonia would be broken down into hydrogen (fuel) and nitrogen (emissions).

The presentation included this slide comparing fuel cell technologies. The ammonia cracking process is never 100% efficient: there is always residual ammonia in the hydrogen stream. The argument, therefore, for using an alkaline fuel cell with a cracked-ammonia fuel supply is that you don’t need the additional step to purify the hydrogen, because residual ammonia will not impair the alkaline fuel cell performance. With a PEM fuel cell, built on acidic chemistry, the opposite would be true: high-purity hydrogen is required and even very small amounts of residual ammonia would poison the fuel cell.

Click to enlarge. Michael Steffen, NH3 Event presentation, Non-Electrically Heated Ammonia Cracker Module for Fuel Cell Systems, May 2018By avoiding the costs of purification – both the capex costs and the energy costs – the alkaline fuel cell achieves a relatively high efficiency.

According to ZBT’s presentation, its 4 kW ammonia-fueled alkaline fuel cell achieved an efficiency of 59.52%.

According to GenCell’s website, its 4 kW ammonia-fueled alkaline fuel cell achieves an efficiency of 52% (fuel cell generator only), consuming a maximum of 2.5 kg/hour ammonia. If combined heat and power (CHP) is considered, the system’s efficiency increases to 87%.

Although title is gencell ammonia and from last year gives some details of zbt cracker for afc and compares efficiency https://www.ammoniaenergy.org/gencell-launches-commercial-alkaline-fuel-cell-using-cracked-ammonia-fuel/

Afc should attend these sort of events https://juiceuk.co.uk/juice-conference

I wonder if these are the events rolec amd afc were talking about http://evroadshow.co.uk/ev-roadshow

Like i said before, some aim companies do an conference call were you can email them questions before hand, they stream it then put it up on there website afterwards .

But surely there will be more need for power to charge electric vehicles than hydrogen for agood few years yet very tiny % of hydrogen vehicles on the road

Thanks from me be nice if we do have a major player willing to use the ch2rge system if that gets annouced it would give others confidence to go with it
