Dawnay, Day Corporate Broking Research Note

Aim Admission Document

Up a bit today.....news should be coming soon....

Europes collaborative effort to develop and commercialise fuel cells and hydrogen took a step forward this week when the body responsible for the 1 billion public-private partnership was freed of the Commissions fetters, streamlining administration as it seeks to push fuel cells and related technologies to market.

Also some award (funding?) due out tomorrow,can't find the link though.

Hi Niceonecyril,

I'm positive about AFC, but have difficulty believing that anything to do with our European masters can streamlining administration in any way shape or form. (getting more cynical if possible, the older I get)
Saying that I think the fetters holding back fuel cell technology will slacken naturally by market demand.
Still the European release can't do any harm, so a good find all the same.

The Allenby Note.

Whilst appreciating these types of note often slant toward the positive, this must be one of the best such reports on a companies future potential that I have ever read.
Just pulling out one small sentence, makes one drool (Replacement of turbine technology for power from coal would clearly move AFC into the realms of a multi billion global corporation).
Multi Billion Global Corporation.
Yes, I know I'm repeating those four words, but on a bitterly cold morning, don't they just warm the cockles.

Yes,..the potential of this stock is mind blowing.....

Over the last week including yesterday there have been articles in The Daily Telegraph, that have blazing headlines mentioning the green energy revolution.
Firstly I scan with anticipation, then on finding not a single symbolistic mention of either AFC or even fuel cell technology in general, I then read in depth even knowing as I do that I will find nothing.
Of course there is no shortage of 'Wind Power' getting a mention. Yet again we are bombarded with the 'Holy Grail of Wind-farm Technology propaganda.
Becoming despondent at this, I decided to go one of my usual walks intending for this very relaxing activity to calm be down. And what happens.......I walk about half a mile up to the top of a hill, only to see 12 wind turbines in the distance.
I stand in about 2 foot of snow, with temperatures around -8c freezing my ******** off, and see all these turbines, stationary, immobile, non moving, static, stood still, useless.
Well at least the walk warmed me up a bit. I went home blood again starting to boil.
When will the politicians and media wake up and smell the coffee.
Mind you if we were to rely on wind turbines, this weather we would probably never get the bloody kettle to boil.

GM to be honest i've switched off as too many other irons in the fire,but if ny memory serves me correct, the proving up of the 50kw? module due to be deliver to LINC early next year will be key to brniing this tech g to the fore.Until delovery and successful feild trials inside a resonable timescale,iy will be seen as hype and the market will react accordingly.
Lets hope for our childrens sake that AFC's tech and other initives are successful,no more of those hidious Wind Turbines please.

better hope that the share/company does not perform like Corac too

Sorry to go off thread but since Plus Markets have re-vamped their web site, I cant find how to get any trades up. I put AFC Energy into the search box as I have done in the past, and nothing comes up.
Help appreciated, from anyone who has used the new site.

It's very long but well worth a read.

Yorkshire Coal Task Force Seminar last Friday 10th Dec.

I went along to this seminar, in particular because one of the speakers was to be Alisa Murphy, a director of B9 Coal.
Thanks again to onedayatatime for the headsup.
Obviously enough, with a title like WHat Next for Coal and Energy Policy, and being hosted by Yorkshire Coal Task Force, there was a definite bias towards the coal industry agenda. However there was a spread of views; in the morning we heard Diana Wallis MEP on the European view of Coal and Energy Policy. 'While we may make the EU targets on renewables by 2020, we are unlikely to reach energy efficiency targets.'
Then came Dr.Marion Wide of the EC Directorate for Energy, in the unit responsible for the EU coal sector and the sustainable utilisation for coal. She told us that coal is by far the largest source of energy for the EU, with Russia being the largest supplier. While moves are afoot to map EU-wide coal resources, research is underway on UCG. Renewables are, so far, still seen by the establishment as the currrent greatest potential source of indigenous power. EU is till keen on member states providing the larger portion of funding research and practice on CCS and related issues.
Dr.Laura Galvin followed, who is Assistant Project Manager for the post-combustion carbon capture pilot plant at Ferrybridge. It was especially at this point that I started to realise that CCS is itself a massive subject with far more going on in this country than I had ever heard of. The Ferrybridge pilot is on an industrial scale rather than just a scaled up lab project.
The final speaker before lunch was Alisa Murphy of B9 Coal (hurrah!) who I thought was introduced in a slightly condescending way - something along the lines of 'and now for something completely different'.
She gave the kind of presentation which, in 20 minutes flat, made me want my own fuel cell! A good outline of the whole project at Hatfield, from raising the fuel to carbon capture. The UK government is wanting such potential projects to be end to end, which sounds promising here. Remember.. UCG -> AFC -> CCS . Alisa did make the comment that AFC is a keystone in the B9 project.
'We believe that combinig these technologies is the cleanest, way available of doing this.' 'Fossil fuel is still the most viable source of energy for the forseeable future; the challenge is to use it in the most efficient way.' She also said that the political will appears to exist to follow this path. B9 is also interested in applying this tecnology to gas as well as to coal; you can imaging the frosty silence at that one! Someone raised the question as to the purity of the hydrogen gained by UCG for the needs of the AFC cells; judging by the tone of AM's answer, this is not considered to be a problem.
As we broke for lunch, I introduced myself as an AFC shareholder and was thanked for having made the effort to attend. She also asked laughingly about poetry on this very board - what have I missed here? While mindful that this was still fresh news as of Thursday afternoon, I particularly wanted to ask her about B9's feelings on Powerfuel Plc going into receivership. She seemed quite unfazed, saying that as far as B9 are concerned Powerfuel Power is a separate part of the Powerfuel company so it should be business as usual at Hatfield.
The content, quality and tone of Alisa Murphy's presentation is the reason for my Strong Buy tag.
After lunch, we had representation from the coal industry itself. UK coal as the company and the NUM were represented and each gave good account of themselves. The last speaker, Mike Macdonald of Prospect, came to the point that unless UK Plc ('I hate to use the term, but it makes sense here') doesn't skill-up for the change in technology we'll be bypassed by the rest of Europe as has happened so many times before.
I asked the last question of the final session.. 'Does the coal industry see UCG as dangerous competition or something that can be worked with in the future?' As expected, the UK Coal chap said it's competition but also something to potentially work with. The NUM rep also gave the expected answer as it currently conflicts with the interests of his members. I was, however, surprised by the Prospect fellow, who having just said that about new technology, said that we should concentrate on just one new technology, i.e. CCS. Obviously a coal industry led event, methinks!
Another delegate, in the seat next to me, was Dr Liadi Mudashiru, a research associate at Newcastle University working on UCG projects with backing from.... Linc Energy! He's met many of the Linc people, spoke very positively of the company, and is off to AU next year to see the workings there. I had an enlightening and positive conversation with Dr.Mudashiru, with whom I hope to keep in touch to follow the project in the North-East. They hope to have a working UCG project in time for the centenary of UCG in 2012.
All in all, a very positive day for me and especially my sentiment on AFC. I need to learn soooo much more about CCS! Many thanks to YCTF and to Roger Kojan for accepting me onto the delegates list as a PI.

Onwards and Upwards.. GLA!

Todays SP.

People are selling, because this companies sp either lives or dies on news.
There has been no news for days, the last being on 11th November.
So mix that with fear of the sp dropping forever lower and you have a self generating sp fall.
I'm one of those who are very positive re AFC, but even when I see a big slice of my investment wiped away, I become slightly concerned. My holdings are around 20 percent of my share portfolio.
From some posts, I have feeling some investors have sunk just about everything they can afford (and some what they can't afford) into this share.
So imagine how easily panic spreads among those who have a far bigger percentage slice than my 20%.
Some are completely forgetting, fundamentals, prospects and all other reasons why they bought into this share and concentrating solely on the sp.
I am not panicking, but I can understand why there is panic out there.

This article is well worth a read. It was found by Squirrel and posted on a competitors thread.

Amazing how you can have such an in depth lengthy article on 'clean coal' without any mention of Fuel Cells. Shows just how under the radar (FCs) still are.
I did note how badly wind power came out of the report.
It also shows how slow the powers that be are to seeing the obvious fact that coal will be around and needs to be used well after oil has stopped being the king of energy.
Very very frustrating, but I feel when/if this breaks through the fog that still surrounds UCG and the fuel cell link we will all be sitting on our own mine, gold mine that is, not coal.

The present time scale although very long, will due to necessity have to be shortened drastically as we are using almost full capacity of fuel to produce power. The lights as they say are close to going out.

This bunch of abusive retards is the reason MoneyAM will NEVER have a forum worth reading.

I have reported them to support by they do nothing, either because they want to force me to PAY them for the Traders Room or because they are too lazy to do anything. Maybe the people in support are the ones perpetrating the abuse, so as to force people to pay for the premium boards. Either way the service is sh1te and a disgrace to the finance industry. No wonder there is nobody left here apart from morons.

I will continue posting my good research on boards that are run in accordance with FSA and LSE listing rules and the interests of the market, not here where ar5eh0les rule the boards and all decent research is buried under their piles of sh1te.

Hi TopAnalyst,

Yes, another strange sp movement day for AFC on no news, or at least no news we know about. Was following the trades and it did not look too much like the mms playing around. Mind you there were no massive buys declared either so I am as lost as anyone.
Will be looking for big delayed buys over the next 2 days, or/and leaked news being made good.

Greek.

Still no news...but can't complain....

Energy needs for 2030.

According to an article in The Telegraph, energy consumption will be 39% higher in 2030 than today.
C02 emissions will if nothing changes will rise by 27%.
The vast bulk of this increased energy need will be from fossil fuels such as oil, coal and gas as although the future of science is not known it is believed that renewables will be contributing a far lesser percentage than said fossil fuels.

So where does that leave the world of energy production and AFC!
The conclusion is that there 'must be an inevitable' change in how the world uses fossil fuels, and that means cleaning up the industry and making it more efficient.
No doubt there will be many ways in the future to achieve this, as there are a few currently.
This and many other articles re energy use and the future can only be positive for AFC.
This next bit will sound like ramping but even in the doubt everything re shares and expect the worse to happen world that I often live in, I can see AFC energy striking gold in the true sense of the world.
Strange that the none use of gold (OK platinum, using poetic license here) is one of AFC's main positives over all other fuel cells.

Probably a mistake, but not adding as in as deep as comfortable with this share, but that does not mean I am not fully confident (well over 90% confident) in where this company is heading.
