The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
>"working from home"
I've done this since the late 90s, well before it was fashionable. One of the things I did was create a science site. Turns out the reading minutes from visitors amounts to 8000 years. Sounds like a decent achievement, compared to unsubstantiated rants on a financial board for personal gain .
>can be safely stored and transported
Can be safely stored and transported, but perhaps not economically. Being able to store (green) hydrogen in a longer term form has a use. Storing it at room temperature is cheap. If it were that easy (and cheap) to store and use hydrogen we'd be using it for heating and transport and not just focusing on off-grid scenarios.
It's not limited to a capacity like a battery so scales better.
It's all trade offs and as much as there was hype for hydrogen 5 years ago, all the sums done there's a definite economic case for it as well as storing it cheaply via ammonia.
Gitfinger, you don't seem to appreciate the battery component of ammonia. A thing that won't lose its charge like an electric battery.
There isn't a problem with renewables wrt generation, their LCOE is the cheapest forms of energy generation. The problem with renewables is storage. Storing it via chemical energy is clearly a solution. Hydro is limited by geography, storing it as ammonia isn't.
>The big clients all have dedicated sales and support staff allocated by Speedy, none of them use the website.
Indeed. I was thinking that words to the effect of prioritising orders means they probably aren't looking for any more orders, particularly small ones. Though it will be a good milestone when it's generally available.
I wonder if they're a bit slow in updating their website as I'd expect to see more for this result:

Surely very close. Wholesale electricity costs certainly cannot get much lower. It's sitting around the strike price of new wind farms.
Someone had questioned the veracity of £27M orders and whether they were contractually bound or not just before the Q&A today.
I replied that AB had said they are contractually bound, but the post has been removed, with the caveat the revenue would not be over 12 months. Very odd that the post is gone.
I'd preface that I'm a Layman and going from memory of the presentation.
There are clearly obvious upsides and downsides.
They do want to raise more cash to accommodate their scaling of the business. The order book they have is strong centres around the power towers.
ABB deal alive and well (clearly a thing that was questioned on these boards)
Maintain the 'hockey stick' growth. £6M revenue this year, double the next, double again.
Break even in 3 years.
Ammonia cracker, 200kW revenues not factored in yet. Accreditation of 200kW likely in ~6 months. ABB incentivised to buy in bulk.
I believe the presentation was recorded and will be made public for others to draw their own observations.
Not strictly AFC though potentially of interest:

Perhaps optimistic to expect an RNS on the day of the event as you posted/hoped at the start of the day?
The previous RNS' were ideal timing for this event. With the cost of hydrogen power continually dropping AFC are in an ideal place to capture business.
I guess like other's have been sceptical about, it's whether AFC can acquire the business. This surely must be the prime moment.

Convenient to call it both ways and pretend to yourself you're correct.
