Totally agree, economies of scale will remove this price differential between diesel and hydrogen quite rapidly.
This is a very positive RNS showing the company are doing a great job listening to their customers and providing the solutions they are requesting. Brilliant.
Congratulations to Alan Bond and the AFC team. They're getting through a difficult couple of years very positively.
Interesting discussion on the lack of a charging infrastructure for electric vehicles across the UK on Radio 4 currently. The pressure is building for a resolution. Solutions are needed and at scale. AFC are n the right place at the right time.
All the world's a stage ... and AFC are stepping onto it now.
I'd also like to say thank you for your relentless work aandi. I really appreciate your knowledge sharing with us all, and the incredibly useful research you do. This is a super company that should bring profound change and benefit in so many spheres.
Agreed BB2, a collection of information.
The blog site's author Charles Morris http://charles-morris.com/ is promoting AFC which is good, so thanks for finding Aimhammer!
Iain Thompson's Linked in page says he left in October 2021 https://uk.linkedin.com/in/thomsoniain.
He has set up a new company Bellona Advisors : Bellona Advisors help shape and promote the big ideas of UK based clients to the people that need to see them: customers, funders and government bodies.
So could be able to support AFC ... if asked?
apologies too fast there .. It is probable they are continuing discussions as per announcements earlier in the year https://www.macegroup.com/media-centre/210319-mace-and-afc-energy
Patience needed.
Mace have 20 plus large projects on the go in the UK currently as can be seen here https://www.macegroup.com/projects .
With the red diesel subsidy (46p / litre) ending in four months (1st April 2021) costs will jump significantly. It is
Mace too, especially Donn1
On ABB's COP 26 page https://global.abb/partnership/formula-e/en/event/2021/abb-formula-e-at-cop-26 linked to SuperStarr's LinkedIn post they mention:
The Climate Initiatives are focused around three pillars:
Innovating technologies;
Social progress, diversity and inclusion;
Championing Change.
That's exactly the message coming from Extreme-E. So hopefully AFC will be lauded under the Innovating technologies section.
AFC = Adiabatic Freecooling Chillers
Agreed. And from a marketing perspective Artic Prix is less than two weeks away.
Here is a list of locations in Canada CB2 - https://new.abb.com/ca/about/locations
Daz, doing the sums ... A 2000 kW diesel fuel generator on a construction site can use up to 13,000 litres per day. At an increase in duty of 47p a litre that would be an additional £6110 per day or £2,230,150 per annum more expensive a year.
And for the avoidance of doubt regarding the government 's policy:

https://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/construction-to-lose-red-diesel-rebate-in-2022
In April 2022 subsidies for red diesel will be removed on construction sites. That is not in 5-10 years. That is in 11 months. This is why Mace are working with AFC today. It's not happenchance that the environmental and economic cases have fortunately aligned and need to be resolved by companies now.
Hydrogen is quite obviously not happening in 5-10 years, it happening today. But we, almost all, know that.
When discussing Mace Group Ltd AB mentioned identifying a 'demand point' with them if I heard correctly. That sounded as though the price / unit quantity figures were under negotiation for orders. So that sounded pretty optimistic at this stage in the year.
It seems to me as though IXICO has just done it job, well, and identified the treatment won't work. The messenger is being unfairly blamed for the message.
It is a pity that the treatment has failed its trial but there is no failure in IXICO identifying that.
So the drop appears to be unfortunately aligned to the trial results and not to analysis. If Roche have been helped to identify this more quickly than might otherwise have been expected and have saved money as a result then hopefully the drop will be fairly temporary.
