DeNora Website seems to have been updated, although it is a while since I have looked:
https://www.denora.com/products/applications/energy-storage/fuel-cells.html
The page includes a link to customers and products which includes a photo of part of an AFC stack held by our CEO.
The fuel cell page takes you to a brochure entitled The Future Green Power.

My AFC glass is half full. i am done with the negative posse and am simply going to filter them. It is getting more and more tedious reading the same repetitive stuff almost on a daily basis.

Jo Bamford, the industrialist and JCB heir who is championing hydrogen power, has revealed plans to create a hydrogen fuel production plant in Scotland.

He said the production unit will be sited outside Glasgow and it is expected to be operational by November next year when the rescheduled COP26 climate event is due to take place in the city.

Mr Bamford earlier said Glasgow could run 300 hydrogen-powered buses, while Aberdeen is set to put a fleet of hydrogen powered double deckers on the road.

He leads green hydrogen production company Ryse and last year acquired Northern Ireland-based manufacturer Wrightbus, and envisages around 3,000 hydrogen buses - about 10 per cent of the UK’s total fleet - could be running by 2024.

Mr Bamford said: “We will have a Scottish solution outside of Glasgow ready and running for November next year.

“A production system that will be ready for COP26 being built in Scotland.”

A fleet of hydrogen-powered double decker buses that is claimed to be the world’s first is due to be launched in Scotland later this year.

First Aberdeen is to run the 15 hydrogen-powered double deckers supplied by Wrightbus as part of an £8.3 million project been funded by Aberdeen City Council, the Scottish Government, and the European Union, with an investment of £500,000 per vehicle. Mr Bamford, who hailed Holyrood’s commitment to hydrogen, said “it is essential that strong partnerships exist between the government, local authorities and business to unlock investments like these”.

Green hydrogen is created by electrolysis of water using power sources such as wind or solar.

You are not wrong with Yellow's predictions Chippy - his PHE predictions were so far out it was laughable, in fact it went up when he was advising of impending doom. desperate.

Hi Stokey, I see Progressive Energy are in there under Hydrogen Projects. Their website includes links to North West Hydrogen Alliance which includes Peel.

Auto Racing team HWA AG is planning a revolutionary automobile racing series based on a future-oriented technology platform, with the goal of introducing hydrogen racing vehicles from 2023.

Called HYRAZE League, the racing series will feature future technologies, making it both climate-friendly and suitable for racing.

HWA AG hopes that the HYRAZE League will to be the world’s first automobile racing series to reply on environmentally friendly produced hydrogen as an energy source.

“In order to find broad acceptance in society, motor sport must become lower-emission, more sustainable and more cost effective,” said Ulrich Fritz, CEO of HWA AG.

“We want to use our experience as a vehicle developer and racing team to bring an innovative racing series to the start with the HYRAZE League, which fulfils these requirements.”

In order to implement the project, several partners have come together to develop a new concept and to reposition parts of motor sports in line with the spirit of the times.

The energy for the emission-free drive is supplied by green hydrogen, which is converted into electricity for the 4 electric motors in the two fuel cells of the racing cars.

“HYRAZE will offer the best entertainment and, by integrating e-sports, will get the young target groups excited about motor sports again,” Fritz continued.

“For us and our partners it is also very important that a technology transfer towards series production takes place. Motor sports can once again take a pioneering role in the development of road vehicles in the field of hydrogen technology and zero emissions.”

A little reminder.

Decarbonisation of the construction sector is a critical objective for the delivery of a NET ZERO economy and is therefore a key market focus for AFC Energy's H-PowerTM fuel cell system. With an acute awareness emerging of the impact diesel generation from construction has on air quality post COVID-19, this objective is likely to be increasingly regulated and enforced by Governments.

As one of the world's leading construction companies with a multi-gigawatt portfolio of renewable energy investments across the world, ACCIONA, through its construction business line, has entered into an Agreement with AFC Energy to conduct field tests of a containerised 160kW H-PowerTM system at one of its Spanish construction sites. In addition to a containerised H-PowerTM fuel cell system, ACCIONA will be supplied with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and ammonia cracker. The tests will take place in the first quarter of 2021 subject to changes in Government guidance on COVID-19.

As a leading innovator at the forefront of research and development in the construction market, ACCIONA uses the latest techniques working with partners to carry out projects, including the reduction of the environmental footprint of its construction sites through a transition away from on-site diesel generation.

Each company will contribute to the cost of conducting the field trial.

AFC Energy and ACCIONA will work together to validate the technical and economic viability of the H-PowerTM system as a basis upon which future collaborations will be premised.

A key selling point of AFC Energy's H-PowerTM platform is the capability to accept cracked ammonia as the primary fuel source. As a more energy dense fuel with lower logistics and handling costs versus Hydrogen in remote locations, adoption of ammonia could have a material impact on the fuel running costs of the fuel cell system. The project will evaluate both Hydrogen and Ammonia as its primary fuel so that an holistic evaluation may be made not only comparing alkaline fuel cell efficiency with comparable fuel cell technologies but also the safety, cost effectiveness and logistical supply chain of the two fuels compared to diesel fuel in off grid construction applications.

Can sport play a vital role in the adoption of clean hydrogen?

Can the global reach of sport help to increase this awareness? That’s what AFC Energy, a fuel cell solutions provider, is hoping for after partnering with Extreme E, the fledgling car racing series devised by Formula E founder Alejando Agag.

The premise of the partnership is simple: Extreme E is an off-road racing series that will take place in remote parts of the world that offer no infrastructure for refuelling the electric SUVs that are competing. AFC Energy is producing a “bespoke” fuel cell system that provides off-grid power that is generated through renewable energy, allowing Extreme E to rule out fossil fuel-powered generators and enhance its association with sustainable innovation.

Adam Bond, the chief executive of AFC Energy, is confident that the partnership with Extreme E can help position the stationary system the company has created as an alternative or replacement for stationary diesel generators, that are being phased out to comply with new environmental regulations.

“Anywhere we see a diesel engine, that’s a possible market,” Bond tells The Sustainability Report. “To take that to its next logical step, 18 months ago we took a decision to explore the EV market. There’s evidence that the number of EVs hitting the road will highlight constraints within the grid. If you want to ultra-rapid charge electric vehicles, the amount of power you need is about equal to about 500 UK homes over the same period.

“You can quickly see that local grids are under pressure and so we decided to configure our system not only as a stationary diesel generator, without the diesel, but also as an off-grid, rapid EV charger that allows consumers to charge their vehicle at the rate they choose.”

That piece of innovation caught the attention of Extreme E, which was looking for an innovative, sustainable way to charge its electric SUVs. Since January, the pair have been working to define a unit that works best for the series’ specifications. What they’ve devised is an ‘electrolysis’ system that harnesses solar power to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, and uses the former to power the fuel cells. The process generates zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Bond explains that while AFC’s relationship with Extreme E is a commercial partnership in the traditional sense, the competition is a “great way” to bring its technology and the virtues of hydrogen to a large audience.

That desire for exposure will certainly be helped by the three-year deal that Extreme E inked with broadcasting giant Discovery earlier this week, which will see the races screened in “over 50 European markets” via Eurosport and across North America via MotorTrend.

Heath - OMG!!!

What list would that be Daz, the one that a serial negative poster collated perhaps.

If the liquid cell is no good why are there collaborations with a multi national construction company and extreme e to showcase the offerings to a worldwide audience.

Again that is an assumption on your part Daz - please don't try to potentially mislead.

Let me get this right Daz. AFC showcased their wares on National news, have millions in the bank, are to deliver for a series starting in Jan and you are assuming that no work is being commenced. You are even assuming that no PO has been raised.

many thanks

Hi Ghenghis would you mind adding some of the text please as I couldn't access the article. sounds interesting. thank you

Reasons to be positive:
- EV Roadshow successfully completed with enquiries
- Acciona Collaboration
- Extreme E Collaboration
- Primary Bid Oversubscribed
- Interview on Sky News
- Hydrogen Economy gaining traction
- Demand for off grid 'power' gaining momentum
- Alkamem
- Solid Cell

This all seems to be heading in a pretty good direction to me and I remain positive.

If I truly didn't believe in the above I would sell and move on as opposed to posting repetitive negatives.

Good luck all Genuine Holders.

In the RNS Stokey under Cameron Davies said:
Our technology additionally can produce synthetic gas for power generation and for upgrade to provide a local source of high-quality hydrogen for heavy goods vehicles and rail transport.

Tougher limits on levels of air pollution are proposed to tackle a problem thought to contribute to as many as 1,400 deaths a year in Wales.

It is one of a range of actions set out in the Clean Air Plan, including that buses and taxis should be electric or hydrogen powered by 2028.

Environment Minister Lesley Griffiths said "very radical" change was needed.

Clean air campaigners welcomed the announcement but called for swift implementation of the plan's proposals.

"This is a first step, we need to focus on delivery and urgent action now," said Haf Elgar, director of Friends of the Earth Cymru, adding that levels of air pollution in Wales were a "disgrace".

The whole webinar is worth watching for anyone interested in net zero, hydrogen, infrastructure, technology development, policy etc.

A good listen - mention of 100 sites in UK and then worldwide roll out in which plastic is monetised as HW previously stated. Having MK on the board is a great move.
