Voller Energy (VLR)     

jojojo - 15 Mar 2006 16:10

Has anyone got any ideas why VLR continues to fall? They are one of the few Fuel cell company to have actually successfully comercialised their product and the potential for future growth is huge.

G D Potts - 12 Jun 2007 11:41 - 203 of 249

We'll just have to hope that no other companies come up with a better solution in the time frame - i.e 2 years of high risk until product becomes comercially sound.

Am happy to hold but will also be investing in ITM soon, think they're close to a bottom. Bought Ceres at 99p a while back and sold a few months back so hopefully we're in before the rest on this one.

Good post Paul - have spoken to a few sailors myself who trialled a fuel cell in their boat a few years ago - with very poor responses. All hated it. Lets hope this does not impact their receptiveness to Voller's ideas.

Any idea on the progress re. the military application of Voller 's products, i thought this could be one of their most profitable markets. If we're killing people we may as well do it without creating emissions.

I'm in ITM as well G D Potts although unfortunately not at these low prices. Both firms have excellent prospects and neither appear to be fly-by-night blue-sky chancers.

VOLLER ENERGY GROUP PLC

('Voller' or 'the Company')



TUV SUD has certified the Voller fuel cell auxiliary power unit ('APU').

Voller Energy Group PLC, the leading developer of fuel cell systems, is pleased
to announce that TUV SUD has certified the Voller fuel cell auxiliary power unit
('APU'). Voller's APU is a 1kW class system operating from standard propane,
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or Calor Gas. The system is designed for sailing
yachts, recreational vehicles RV's, motor-homes and construction site welfare
cabins.

Fuel-cell technology offers key advantages over conventional generators in many
fields of application where self-contained power supply is indispensable. Fuel
cells run more quietly, cause less vibration, consume less fuel, emit fewer
pollutants and need to be serviced less often.

Stephen Voller, CEO of Voller Energy commented: 'We are delighted that Voller's
APU is the first fuel cell in the world to receive the TUV SUD certificate,
which confirms that our system is safe'. The advantages of fuel cell technology
mean that we see virtually unlimited applications for our auxiliary power units,
from the maritime sector or recreational vehicles such as caravans and mobile
homes to construction site cabins.

Tom Elliger, TUV SUD Industrie Service GmbH said, 'This combination of a fuel
cell running on LPG and its application on board a sailing cruiser must be a
first worldwide.'

Good news Dynamite :-)

Dynamite - 16 Jul 2007 11:26 - 207 of 249

Yes I just wish VLR would go up like my CWR shares..still eventually I hope they will

queen1 - 16 Jul 2007 12:43 - 208 of 249

I know - they've been something of a frustrating market. Still, unlike a lot of similar companies VLR has a green technology that seems to be working and viable, so it should only be a matter of time.

THIS SHOULD BE TRADING AT 50P AT LEAST....MMs are so stupid

Only cautiously optimistic for the future but great to get an order under their belts:

Voller Energy announced a maiden order for its fuel cell systems and reiterated its commercialisation schedule as full year losses widened at the fuel cell group.

The company said it won its maiden order from GenQuip for 20 1Kw fuel cell systems, which will be delivered in early 2008 and installed in welfare cabins.

It is on track for commercialisation of its fuel cell auxiliary power units (APUs) by the end of 2007.

Reporting on its financial results, the company said these were in line with its expectations as full year pretax losses widened to 2.2 mln stg from 1.7 mln last time. Chief executive Stephern Voller said the company is 'cautiously optimistic for the year ahead.'

maestro - 15 Sep 2007 22:35 - 211 of 249

spoke to voller and they say profit on each fuel cell is 3000 which aint bad if they get orders into the 1000's...i'm sure the luxury yacht market alone will get 1000 plus

Voller Energy is pleased to announce that it is collaborating with the University of Cambridge, UK, to develop a diesel, bio-diesel, kerosene or JP-8 fuel reformer.

As part of its continuing development of reformer technologies Voller is pleased to announce that it has funded a research program which will be carried out in collaboration with the University of Cambridge to develop technologies capable of reforming (processing) hydrocarbon fuels. As a result of this collaboration Voller will have the rights to commercially exploit this technology. Dr Epaminondas Mastorakos of the University's Department of Engineering will be the academic lead for the project.

Dr. Mastorakos and his colleagues have previously developed a process for the super adiabatic combustion of hydrocarbon fuels which enables fuels such as methane and propane to be converted to hydrogen and carbon oxides. The research program will adapt this process for incorporation into fuel cell systems developed by Voller and will also extend the range of fuels which can be processed to include complex hydrocarbons such as kerosene, diesel or JP-8. This activity complements Voller's other activities in fuel reforming which include the development of steam reforming and pyrolysis systems. Voller has already released technology based on a 1kW steam reforming system that uses commercially available standard Calor Gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or propane. This system was successfully demonstrated in a mobile Groundhog 360 welfare cabin, manufactured by GenQuip PLC. In addition this system has been installed in a Beneteau 411 sailing cruiser.

Stephen Voller, Chief Executive of Voller Energy commented: 'We want to offer our customers a choice of fuel cell products in the future based on a variety of widely available fuels. We believe that a portfolio of reforming technologies is important so we can offer LPG and diesel fuel capabilities.'

Some good news today re the motorhomes tie up so why the 7% drop?

hlyeo98 - 03 Oct 2007 13:27 - 214 of 249

The market is not impressed maybe because it is an optional energy source for motorhomes and many may not subscribe to it.

queen1 - 03 Oct 2007 13:40 - 215 of 249

Fair point but as far as alternative jam-tomorrow energy suppliers go VLR is actually producing the goods and getting others interested so I still don't see why the market is marking them down.

UK smallcap opening - Voller Energy up on reports of deals

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Modest progress was seen in Voller Energy, 3/4 up at 18-1/4, on reports that the maker of a prototype fuel cell for yachts, worker cabins and motor homes is not far from closing deals with yacht dealerships for 100 fuel cells.

Current price: 19-20p, up 11.43%

maestro - 05 Oct 2007 16:57 - 217 of 249

looks like the filthy crooks in the city were out to trigger stop losses...vermin!

hlyeo98 - 05 Oct 2007 17:34 - 218 of 249

100 fuel cells doesn't mean a thing for a AIM company.

maestro - 05 Oct 2007 19:34 - 219 of 249

IT DOES WHEN YOU GET 3000 PER UNIT= 300,000 PROFIT

maestro - 05 Oct 2007 19:34 - 220 of 249

AND THIS IS THE TRUTH BECAUSE COMPANY SPOKESWOMAN TOLD ME

G D Potts - 07 Oct 2007 18:55 - 221 of 249

It means a lot maestro and this is only one order. which when worth 10% of the company's market cap is very consdierable. I believe new orders will be announced and not just the rumoured 100 for a yachting company and so have placed an out of hours trade. will be back in as of monday morning.
