Good find Itsallbull. Looks encouraging!

Peanut. No big cheese here. You’re entitled to your views like everyone else but why should the rest of us put up with foul language? Get a grip man.

4444 - yr purpose here is to talk this share into the ground. You're not an investor. You have no interest in whether AFC makes it or not. You have noeither more or less knowledge than the rest of us. If you were an investor you wouldn't consistently make negative comments on the company - you'd want to see it commercialise and develop. You have consistently posted negative remarks for years, yes years ! You never acknowledge positives from the company.
Yes news is frustratingly limited but the majority here are invested because
a) we want to see AFC commercialise and grow
b) we want AFC to make a difference in the clean energy market and help clean up the mess successive generations of greed have landed on our fragile planet
c) we want to see our investment grow

We have DeNora still on board and fully engaged in developing an optimal design
We have a manufacturing partner to be announced - stacks and BoP
We have Southern contract being addressed and hopefully signed
We have high net worth investors who remain invested

Stop your endless bleating, trying to turn no information into mis-information. If you don't want to invest in AFC, sell up or shut up and see some positives - that's what the majority of us here are trying to do.

4444 - of course nobody on this board knows the answer to your question - if we didn, we'd have inside knowledge of the company and we'd be in court for divulging price sensitive information. We're all in the same boat here with little news flow other than we know work is going on behind the scenes - if it wasn't we would have high net worth investors holding - get a grip man and change the record ! I want traction on this share as much as the next person and I want to see the environment being cleaned up by new tech such as this and the likes of PHE. It's a big risk but we chose to invest here so we have to go with it.

TheHare - the new hydrogen economy has the potential to be very exciting. AFC have the potential to play a big part in that - whether they get there remains to be seen. I've been in this share since 2010. Like everyone else, I feel another year has slipped by and STILL NOTHING to show for our investment. We appear to have a string of targets to achieve but with a cap on news flow, we never seem to know if targets have been reached.

I certainly don't see any news coming this side of Christmas now.

The website is woefully out of date and misleading. How can prospective customers take AFC seriously ?

I'm feeling particularly despondent today about AFC Energy and tomorrow's Brexit vote will see chaos reign for a few months to come no doubt.

In addition DW, it shows that even the poster is very confusing and leads to more questions than it purposes to address. AFC BoD need to get a grip on PR and provide a simple summary of progress - goals, results, future plans. For goodness sake are we commercial (as the website says we are) or not ?

Whilst I know that things are progressing behind the scenes at AFC, I am far from happy with comms and presentation of the company to its potential customers and investors.

Come on AFC, get a grip !

There’s no reason why we can’t have news on technical or manufacturing though this year

Morning. So if Southern has slipped and Dunsfold still pending a decision we’re going to be disappointed again this year end more than likely. It would be good if AFC were as upbeat as PHE.

All useful and lively discussion. It’s discussion like this that spreads the word that new tech is being developed to solve real world issues. If Hydrogen engines can replace diesel trucks, buses, trains and ships then already the world will become a much cleaner place to live. As well as limits to charging, I think there is also a limit to the natural resources to supply batteries. A hydrogen vehicle is just a battery with an on top fuel source. We also need to ensure the electricity suppler to electric vehicles is clean of course. Enter AFC Energy perhaps:)

So, PHE can generate Hydrogen at petrol/diesel prices. ITM can store the Hydrogen safely and have the tech to dispense it into cars. Toyota are making great strides into Hydrogen cars and expanding their use by ensuring a network of filling stations exists so drivers know they can fill up. I see the PHE units located at landfill sites (not next to filling stations) and lorries transport the hydrogen to filling stations just as they do now - hopefully with hydrogen lorries.
A nice circular model developing here ?

Hi Neils87 - I've just noted that ITM power have a link with Toyota ... http://www.itm-power.com/

Oh look - isn't that a Toyota car in ITMs Hydrogen fuel station ? :)

Apologies - morgui (predictive text :)

Hi morgue - is that where the likes of ITM step in ? http://www.itm-power.com/

HI Mucksy
I don't know what 4444 has posted (I have him/her muted). We usually invest in a company for a number of reasons, which can include SP opportunity and ethical reasons and with AFC I think we have both of those!

AFC have a massive task on their hands to get to commercial sales - I always think of it in terms of "widgets" - to get to a fully working product we need many different widgets and each will need to be carefully designed for optimum performance and low cost. So we have a supply chain to deal that sits alongside this, as well as all the legals and AFC internal processes to be developed - from scratch. It's a massive task.

Yes, I'd love to know why we're not here sooner and wish some of the tripe sold to us was not more tightly controlled by the BoD. It seems we are now on the cusp of getting to that goal (based on latest measured RNSs)

I am an investor here - I'm not going to knowingly talk AFC down when I know the task in hand is complex. The high net worth investors clearly feel the same.

Unless people know (from inside knowledge) of reasons to talk AFC down then that is fine (and probably illegal) but otherwise, we don't really have a leg to stand on - we invest or we get out - it's a binary decision!

Good morning, and DWs response was similar in vein to one of my posts yesterday. The power industry has to and will change. Think of all the polluting power stations that still spout out CO2 like there's no tomorrow. CO2 output was reported last week as having increased significantly again. AFC need to fast entry point to market and what we're seeing is they see significant opportunities in the displacement of diesel power generation, alongside stationary power generation (which presumably will have slower growth to start but the opportunities as DW suggest are huge.

Hi BumbleB, agreed that AFC need to be decisive as to their target market both short and longer term. When you think about PHE and how they have totally redesigned their system in a very short time to produce a design that could lead the world in waste to energy conversion it makes you wonder what's been going on at AFC in the past 8 or 9 years - we know we have gone through a redesign phase but that wasn't as fundamental as PHE. AFCs membership of the Hydrogen Council will also provide them with the developing hydrogen economy, so that will provide them with good market indicators.
AFC will have their moment I'm sure !

P.S. - I just wish AFC would bl00dy get on with it ! :D

Hi BumbleB - I both agree and disagree with your post. Keith A talked about displacing diesel in his PHE video. I suspect with the Toyota interest, there is a very real need to get the hydrogen vehicle market moving and I think this is a hugely positive step as I see chargeable batteries as an interim tech to move away from oil based fuels.

However, as the hydrogen economy gathers pace, the same will happen to coal and gas - these will also need to be displaced and PDQ if we are to meet any sort of CO2 reduction targets. Domestic boilers will be adapted to hydrogen. Power generation will need to switch - I always remember the fact that chlor-alkaline industries consume 1% of the world's power! - that's a staggering amount of power and excludes all of the other mega-power consuming industries including steel/aluminium smelting, data centres, glass manufacturing, existing incineration sites to generate steam, to name a tiny few.

There's a huge market out there and once the hydrogen economy gathers pace, AFC will be exceptionally well placed to take advantage. Yes, in the meantime our model to initial markets might have changed but that could change very quickly in my opinion.

I would hope also that with our link to W2T that we will be put forward for an ideal complementary technology to sit alongside PHE DMG units for taking on spare hydrogen capacity and making their gasifiers a one-stop-shop for carbon-neutral power generation from waste.

All good in my opinion ! :)

Great RNS - when I first bought these in 2011 they were 15p ! :)
