If any of you are seriously concerned, drop John an email, he is excellent at getting back to people, unlike previous management.
As has been said already the 6-9 month clock started last July, that takes us up to the AGM, normally towards the end of April. So far to date JW has delivered on time and under budget. The last time I asked about any news, he simply said, as a retail investor, no news is, by and large, good news, it just means that they are getting on with what they said they would do. The question is whether you believe him or not..... if yes, give them time, if no.... well then you don't trust the CEO and for my part I would question the logic of investing in a company that is headed up by someone you don't trust.
Another point is that we know the S+P JDA partner selected AFC and Hyamtec more specifically over their own in house cracker and after having carried out due diligence on one of our major competitiors in the US and they chose us. We also know that they wanted a cost per molecule for the hydrogen produced from our cracker before commercial discussions would take place. This has now been provided and the results were even better than AFC (Hyamtec) had hoped for which bodes well in any commercial negotiations.
What would be of benefit at the moment, whilst we wait for further news from AFC would be the publication of the UK Gov'ts updated Hydrogen Strategy and, even more importantly, for it to recognise Green Ammonia as a fuel source and as a carrier for H2 to be cracked back into green H2 here in the UK, like Japan and South Korea have already announced
I suspect our JDA partner (If indeed it is Air Products as we all suspect) might be waiting for that update before wanting to make any announcements ref Green Ammonia cracking from NEOM here in the UK.
That's my take. I am quite happy to wait another couple of months for news, and the prelim financials will be out in 3 weeks. Followed by IM on the 27th. Then, hopefully we will have the new H2 strategy, hopefully it will include allowances for green Nh3 (That is what the UK Ammonia Alliance was set up for after all) and then we can "Get Cracking" - pun entirely intended!
