Hi DW - no criticism taken. With "oil tankers" such as steel industry, their investment lead times are certainly many years into the future. If AFC have a solution that doesn't interfere with their primary activities (production of steel), then these opportunities could be exploited by a proactive marketing function. Just a PR point really, nothing else. For all we know, and I'd be very surprised if they didn't , Tata and the likes will have a carbon strategy in place already, just as Lloyds Banking Group have committed to source 100% of energy consumption via renewables which they have achieved.

Hi Klunk - good to hear that they do - certainly moved on from the days I worked for British Steel as a graduate trainee. However, if there is an opportunity to produce clean energy from vented waste streams then AFC should look to explore ways of exploiting this...that's what marketing functions do I'd hope

of course I didn't mean to imply that AFCs electricity is expensive haha - to clarify, these plants use a lot of electricity, which of course is expensive

Ideal opportunity here for AFC to go speak to Tata Steel around making use of vented Hydrogen and further reducing harmful emissions alongside self generation of high cost electricity...

What's your agenda then bottom_feeder ? as you name implies, sinking to the depths pecking at scraps instead of trying to look positively at what we have and our potential - I'd rather my cup be half full rather than half empty

However, CH2ARGE system must have be asked for by someone and it will use latest version of the Fuel Cell, so why didn't we have a contract lined up with the launch. Begs the question that CH2ARGE was something that AFC thought they could jump on to as a side line - who knows. The lack of news/tech updates/ follow on updates from Nov RNS is worrying

Fair point Domino1

Good spot peterperfect - i like this bit "hydrogen charging systems"

Hi ColdFish. Would the high net worth investors be hanging around if they didn’t think afc were heading in the right direction? They are sure to know more than us lowly (but not unimportant PIs). Do you the DeNora would be giving freely of their time at considerable expense if they weren’t confident of AFCs potential? Would afc have been invited to hydrogen council (a prestigious collection of multinational companies ) if they didn’t think afc had something substantial to contribute? Would southern have bothered contacting afc without doing some due diligence? Yes we have a delay which we’re told is Southern’s issue to resolve. Afc seem ready to mobilise given the go-ahead. My glass remains half full at this early stage of becoming commercial. Yes I am hugely frustrated as everyone else at the lack of detail but sadly our hands seem to be tied. We’re very much on the outside. I would also respectfully ask AFCs board to respect all types of shareholders with more substantive news. However, I remain optimistic that we’ll see some traction this year with uptake of our product offerings.

Very funny chaps. :D I apologise if my grammar remark caused any offence. On the other hand, I will not stand by though and be labelled a ramper

TheHare - I am most definitely NOT a ramper - I dare you to provide evidence. I am however an investor in AFC Energy and I am here as I believe in the product, not to deride the company at every opportunity.

Yes the SP is diabolical - it is being manipulated hand and fist. I've already stated that PR is awful and we most definitely need more info coming out as that is allowing the SP to drift, always !
I've got better things to do with my life that pop up on discussions boards and come out with negative views constantly.

And yes, I am more than happy to point out incorrect use of words/grammar - there's / theirs / there / there is. To/too/two. We're never too old to learn !

ColdFishPie - Hogwash ! I don't know what your game is, but you can take your ColdFish elsewhere. Why do you think DeNora have been giving hundreds of hours of consultancy for free ? Why are AFC Energy sat on the Hydrogen Council when many other (and long established) fuel cell developers are nowhere to be seen ?

We are awaiting Southern to finalise their (note use of "their") engineering which should lead to a firm contract. AFC are diversifying the uses for their FCs into a clearly growing charger industry. DeNora are clearly looking at greener water cleansing tech.
Yes, PR is abysmal and now needs to be addressed, but please don't come on here with your blatant deramping and zero facts !

Hi Rooky. There’s probably many such sites around but it’s been publicised by BBC. Have you emailed PHE and AFC directly with your suggestion?

Hi Sturmtrupper - if I had the chance to show off my new charging unit, I'd be very happy to have it pictured with a BMW i8 - especially car magazines and the association with the old Top Gear site - it's the type of publicity AFC needs and we've been calling for, for a long time.
We'll be the last to find out who they are in talks with. Toyota seems logical given the link with PHE currently. Toyota are far bigger than BMW and they will influence the way forward once they have decided their way forward with H2

13thmonkey - that sounds perfectly logical to me - there will be a gradual decrease in oil but alternatives will gather momentum fairly quickly I think so alternative energy supplies will be required. Oilies will want to diversify and now is the time to start adopting new revenue streams such as H2 production and possible conversion methods to electricity.

Fingers crossed Risky as you say.

Bitterblue1 - I agree with you. Very disappointing that they can't follow last week's good news with the real (non-left-field) updates we really need to give confidence that we have a baseline PLACE confirmed product. I'm feeling disheartened, again. We had some excellent publicity last week - why not have the foresight to capitalise on that !

Agreed mucksy. I was just commenting on the YouTube video. Hopefully another positive week ahead for afc

Interesting video however, slight misleading in that it does not discuss that batteries require lithium and there are huge costs associated with it's extraction and then turning it into a physical battery, and these natural resources cannot be replaced.
Also, is there enough lithium to cope with the expected demand ? I doubt very much, even if we recycle.
