Aim Admission Document

RNS.

Just looking at the countries where De Nora have interests with more than one location in several of these countries makes ones mouth water.

Japan, Germany, Brazil, China, India, USA, Abu Dhabi, Singapore and the UK.

And as De Nora produce water filtration systems for the oil industry and emphasise the importance of this, a combination of an energy system with pure water as the only by-product looks an excellent idea for oil installations. Now if only there was such a technology!

Oh there is and many of us were the first to see what the benefits of this could be..

Whilst I appreciate that investors and wanting that all important contract to start the race to full profitability, surely this RNS must hike the SP upward several points whilst putting AFC more firmly on the radar of both investors and potential customers.

AFC Energy, the industrial fuel cell power company, has signed a joint development agreement with the Italian company Industrie De Nora.

The collaboration is targeting technological enhancements to AFC Energy's fuel cell system and to further accelerate commercialisation of AFC Energy's technology platform.

Subject to satisfactory progress, it is the intent of the parties to widen the collaboration to develop new product offerings combining the AFC Energy fuel cell system with De Nora's systems and provide a vehicle to open new markets for mutual benefit.

De Nora is a multinational leader in sustainable technologies, that offers energy savings solutions for several electrochemical processes; in addition De Nora manufactures commercial electrodes for alkaline water electrolysis, chlor-alkali, galvanic processes and is a recognised global player in water and wastewater treatment, disinfection and filtration for marine, power, industrial and municipal markets.

Profit taking lowering sp, but my bet is that by close today the sp will be up.

AFC's Italian deal rubber stamps technology - 14:46 05 Aug 2016
proactive investors

The broker Peat & Co reckoned the joint development agreement with Italy's Industrie De Nora provided “real, independent and objective validation of AFC’s technology”.

AFC Energy plc (LON:AFC) has signed a joint development agreement (JDA) with an Italian firm called Industrie De Nora designed to “accelerate the commercialisation” of former’s fuel cell technology.

The pair plan to widen the collaboration to develop new products based around AFC’s technology subject to the “satisfactory progress” of the initial collaboration.

The tie-up follows “extensive technical discussions between the two parties over recent months”.

According to AFC chief executive Adam Bond De Nora is “arguably the world's leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of electrodes”.

“The relationship and the proposed program for collaboration will significantly build on the recent successes of AFC Energy and will no doubt materially de-risk and speed up AFC Energy's path to commercialisation,” he added.

“I am delighted that AFC Energy will now be working closely together with De Nora and its world class team."

IN DEPTH: Major milestone passed ahead of schedule
AFC specialises in an alkaline fuel cells that use hydrogen to generate electricity.

Its KORE system uses three components, an electrode, cartridge and balance of plant, to make one cell, which are then stacked into a unit of 101 cells to make a cartridge, which can be replaced like a battery when degradation starts to occur.

Last year (2015) it successfully tested the 101 fuel stacks, completed most of the milestones of the Power-Up Project and began signing up partners.

It now has a 50 megawatt (Mw) project development agreement with Samyoung Corp and Chang Shin Chemicals in South Korea, a 10 Mw heads of agreement with Bangkok Industrial Gas in Thailand and a 300 Mw outline deal with the Dubai Carbon Centre of Excellence.

AFC’s systems runs on hydrogen and it reckons that the excess of the gas generated by the chlorine and caustic soda industry could support over 3,000 Mw of capacity, providing nearly 20% of the industry's power needs.

The company’s own target is to have 1Gw (1,000 Mw) of capacity installed by 2020 and recently reaffirmed its confidence in achieving that objective.

Shares up 42% in the last month
The shares, up 42% in the last month, paused for breath. At 2.30pm they were changing hands for 19.2p, valuing the business at just shy of £60mln.

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Adam Forsyth, reiterating his ‘buy’ advice on the stock, reckons AFC is worth 77p.

“We see commercial traction as the key risk with funding and technology risks also present. We think the JDA announced today goes a long way to minimise the latter,” he said in a note to clients.

Objective validation of the technology
The broker Peat & Co reckoned the deal provided “real, independent and objective validation of AFC’s technology”.

It also pointed out the development agreement is a legally binding, unlike some of the other, looser deals “which the market has perhaps been a little under-whelmed with in the past”.

Peat reckons De Nora a world leader in electrode manufacture. It has teamed up with Thyssen Krupp to form the world’s largest provider of electrolysis technology to the chlor-alkali industry, which should provide AFC with global market access.

“It probably goes without saying that there are huge opportunities for joint knowledge sharing and technical de-risking of AFC’s technology platform,” Peat said in a note to investors.

“De Nora already have multiple commercial applications which they will consider integrating AFC’s technology into, opening a range of new markets in the process (for example potential access to the water treatment market)."

another barrowload of money for the PR and media guys
it always annoys me as it's an expensive exercise and not even necessary and even more unjustifiable in a company that is just limping along

re -new site

The new site looks the a better place to look for things
Modern, focused and like a company of the future.
The old one looked dated and had a lot of old information, which was confusing to new/potential investors.

If it helps the share price, I would say money well spend

and it does today as is rising from the recent stagnation, now needs a bit of more buying and ready for a BREAKOUT

Are we ready for the push?


The buys continuing show on the ticker as is the offer price rising, the spread got a bit large 20.50 v 22p at the moment so about time the 21p bid comes along.

i shall be very happy indeed to see this one rocket away as i am still well out of pocket albeit that it was always going to be a long-term hold

BREAKOUT 22.375p

Has moved over the previous intraday high of 21.75p, large volume since last Friday
The spread is closing now 21.75 v 23p, wonder if they read my post

I posted somewhere else .............

Today 10:06 - Market Makers

Seeing the buying going on and the spread getting larger and larger, Iam concluding that they a bunch of " blood s@ckers " .

It is an order book market but they know how to manipulate the market and no one is doing anything about it.

so just my honest opinion today, spread 20.75 v 23p

25p +5p

The breakout is working wonders for the share price as the volume is there

About time!! I have stock at 20p & 28p in dealing account. Higher in ISA but not too worried about trading that. Next stop 28p?

Up again on good early volume.

Closed Position T +7 @ 26.94p

I always seem to sell too early, though a profit is always welcome, but think I will try and squeeze a bit more out of this. My target is somewhere between 29p-32p.....fortunately I can watch it most of the time if needs be.

The early spike this morning was a signal that could be the end of the rise for the moment being.

Why did not sell then?
I was not on the screen till 9.10am and by then everything did happen, up and down again, so I looked for the next good movement up to sell them.

Share price was well ahead of Bollinger Band top Band

I can't complain, bought at 16.025p and sold at 26.94p so a 66.70% gain on 13 days and I did not have to pay for the stock.

Good to see this rising at long last.....still cannot believe how the sp slumped like it did....anyway....long may the rise continue.....

AFC Energy said on Friday its finance director Christopher Tawney will step down from the board with immediate effect to pursue other business interests.
The company said it has appointed a senior financial controller who will absorb the roles performed by Tawney.
"Christopher joined AFC Energy in 2014 and the board would like to thank him for the contribution he has made to the business in the last two years," AFC said in a statement.
