Hope st Helena doesn't hit a bouy on it's voyage ( those who invested in qfi will know what i mean )

Seems like uk Gov still more interested in wind power https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/siemens-moves-to-double-its-wind-turbine-factory-at-hull-in-a-move-that-could-create-hundreds-of-jobs-3140163%3famp

 consumption bathroom fittings and even chairs made from recycled plastic bottles collected from the Mediterranean. There is also a hydroponic system on board in the kitchens which will enable the Chef to grow the vessel’s own herbs and garnishes. She is now well and truly ready to begin a new life as the championship’s logistics hub.

Last year, Extreme E in cooperation with Enel Foundation, the championship’s Founding Scientific Partner, invited scientists to apply for space on the ship to conduct research connected to advancing climate science in its on board laboratory during the voyage. In total, seven projects managed by 14 scientists have been selected to join the voyage. The seven projects will each focus on a different area of ocean research, with full details to be announced in the coming weeks.

In addition, there are 62 cabins which can sleep up to 175 people, two lounges, an 80-seater restaurant, a 100-seater exterior deck, an 80-seater presentation area plus capacity to carry 90 20-foot shipping containers. A crew of 50 people will live and work on board the St Helena over the course of her voyage.  

Joining them will be Extreme E’s Impact Correspondent Izabela Rekiel, who is also an International DJ, environmental activist, Climate Reality Leader and Project Zero Ambassador. Izy will document life on the St. Helena through regular posts on her social media channels - @izyofficial.

Upon departing the UK, the St. Helena will sail through the Mediterranean to Saudi Arabia, where it is expected to arrive after 17 to 20 days. After Saudi Arabia, she will go back through the Mediterranean to Senegal, across to Greenland, down to the Amazon and then further south to the final destination of the season in Tierra del Fuego, Argentine Patagonia

After a two year extensive refurbishment process, Extreme E’s floating centrepiece, the St. Helena, is now just hours away from setting sail for the championship’s inaugural race weekend, which takes place on 3-4 April in Saudi Arabia.

The moment was marked in Liverpool, UK by Extreme E Founder and CEO Alejandro Agag who sprayed a celebratory bottle of Moët champagne, which had been specially personalised for the occasion, over the ship’s hull to toast the start of her new journey. 

Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Extreme E, said: “Today I feel extremely proud. The departure of the St. Helena marks the start of her new voyage. Extreme E’s first season is now officially underway.

“This has been a massive project and she really is unrecognisable from when we purchased her back in 2018. She is unmistakably part of Extreme E with the exterior branding, and the internal refit looks incredible. One of my favourite features of the ship is the creation of a science laboratory, which replaces the original swimming pool, and I’m delighted that from Saudi Arabia we will have a variety of scientists on-board conducting oceanic research projects.

“I have always had a love for the ocean, which was inspired by documentaries featuring the French biologist, Jacques Cousteau. He made me dream because he had a boat, he had the Calypso, and my dream is that the St. Helena becomes the new Calypso of the 21st century.”

The ex-Royal Mail Ship which acted as the lifeline to the island of St Helena, has been under Extreme E’s stewardship for more than two years and during this time has undergone an extensive multi-million euro renovation process, including a comprehensive mechanical overhaul as well as a full refurbishment of the interior alongside a fresh livery and branding.

Alejandro Agag continues: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the crew who have worked so hard on the St. Helena to prepare her for her new journey, and all the team at Cammell Laird port here in Liverpool – we wouldn’t be at this point without all their efforts.”

This week, the championship’s freight from teams and partners has been loaded onto the St. Helena. Items include its race fleet of electric vehicles (ODYSSEY 21) fitted with Continental tyres, Air Shelta tents which will form the team garages, the podium, the start gantry, TV and broadcast equipment, three machines from 3devo to turn plastic waste into the championship’s trophies, two custom BRIG Eagle 8 carbon black support boats, a hydrogen fuel cell for zero-emission car charging created in collaboration with AFC Energy, plus a variety of Bosch tools.

The approach to the refit was to significantly improve, whilst leaving as small an environmental footprint as possible. This was achieved by upcycling, and rather than scrapping and replacing, the interior was stripped and refurbished, producing a contemporary, modern appearance. In addition, the ship utilises low-energy LED lights, low-water con

St Helena now in Liverpool

AFC Energy plc (LON:AFC) is the topic of conversation when Zeus Capital’s Head of Research Mike Allen caught up with ************* for an exclusive interview.

Q1: AFC Energy, can you just talk us through your latest note and explain the approach that you used in your valuation?

A1: We’ve issued a note earlier this week and we’ve updated our valuation following the initiation note that we dd back in September.

Since September, there’s been a number of positive developments in terms of new strategic collaborations with world leading organisations, there’s been investment to ensure capacity can be built up to satisfy demand and obviously the UK government has banned the sale of new petrol and diesel powered cars after 2030 and hybrid after 2035, that was previously set at 2040.

So, there’s been a lot of different market dynamic changes but the company have set themselves well with some future collaborations as well.

In terms of the approach we took to valuation, they obviously set up a collaboration with ABB recently and we’ve looked at the agreement and the platform the company would have with ABB and we’ve started looking at the potential valuation impact. So, we’ve looked at the major markets where ABB and the company work together and we’ve ascribed 131.5p of DCF value and that’s just considering them working together in the US, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, obviously, ABB are in over 80 countries so the upside could be bigger. We’ve also ascribed some value to the EV opportunity, mainly in the UK and also the upside with diesel-powered generators as well and that opportunity gives us value of around 60p.

So, taking that the total of that gets us to a valuation of 191p which we think is centred more on this existing capital structure.

To add to that, there’s a lot of things we’ve not considered in the valuation as well so we’ve not put everything into that valuation at all, we’ve ignored wider markets with ABB and we’ve ignored product development with ABB as well. We’ve also haven’t looked at the temporary power market on a global basis which could be an opportunity, we’ve not put anything in for the AlkaMem as well and they’ve recently signed an agreement with Ricardo and we’ve not put anything in there.

Interesting as well, we’ve only looked at the EV charging market on passenger cars, Scania recently flagged that they would be using stationary fuel cells as an important component in the electric charging system. We think that would play well with the company as well so we’ve not considered the commercial vehicle charging market at this stage.

We have looked at the current opportunities that we see but there’s a lot that we’ve ignored in this valuation as well.

Q2: You’ve excluded quite a few things from the valuation, is that something that you’ll re-evaluate later down the line?

A2: Well, obviously we are looking at this on a long term basis and clearly the market is moving very quickly at the

Don't have bt sports but notice that extreme e has just been on ( extreme e the electric future)

Are afc looking at developing solid state batteries

I wonder if afc will get any orders for the Qatar world cup or could that one be to close now to deliver it

Ok thats good to know

No but if institutions want to invest more and the free float is low they may well issue more to keep liquidity

Haggis afc may need to add more shares to the register so can't really compare at the moment

Barcharts also have afc as a 100% buy

Of cause the mm can easily control the market if they have a big order they can drop the price to panic people into selling so they can fill same as they can raise it say by 10 % human nature makes people buy thinking they no something
