CFU - Ceramic Fuel Cells

Jump to new
Theres got to be some sought of highlights when the quarterly report comes out. hopefully an ORDER from some european utillity company! I cant think of anything else other then that and maybe something like ...plant commenced to open in october. and they signed an MOU with VicUrban to deploy Bluegen units in demonstration homes. With the first unit to be installed at the end of 2009.

Heres the submitted report for the 'inquiry into the approvals process for renewable energy projects in Victoria' which was scheduled for 27/7/09 at 1:30pm.

Any1 got any other ideas of what the highlights might be?

GL to all CFU holders
 
Oh train when are you going to arrive back to CFU. Looks like people on UK forums see CFU with great potential.

According to worsleybird on
http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:CFU.L&display=discussion
there is going to be an update on Friday..I think it will be the quarterly results.

and found some good news on uk website if people like to read...came out 13th July 2009http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/jul/13/manchester-report-fuel-cells?commentpage=1

Thanks for feretting these out ,antz..good to get a global view of things.

The market here has digested the news from France and looks like it is supporting the SP at 18 cents.

Of course the critical thing is to get some orders on the books,but they have lots of irons in the fire.Patience is required here ..good luck to the faithfull :)
 
Go you good thing. I hope this thing pulls out of the station at full speed for all concerned. Unfortunatley business needs customers. No orders means NO customers. YET. Good luck. :D
 
What's that saying............"Build it and they will come":D

But seriously, there may be many in the wings just waiting for the plant to be built and production models produced before they sign on the dotted line. These things have been 20 years and millions in the making, I don't think they'll choke at the last turn with the finish line in sight:D

But then again as with anything..........it could go all pear shaped:eek: Though I doubt it

cheers

One could not believe a company would spend millions on a new factory without doing their homework on the prospects of orders. They would have to be pretty sure of themselves before proceeding. I suspect all will be revealed to those who wait.
 
Its good to see that they selling powder for bio products. atleast they dont have to rely on just producing CHP units. Just need the CE approval and we are there. No bad debt and almost 30Mill in bank.
Finally they doin somethin about the bad investments. It was mentioned what like 3months ago in The Australian.
hmm 3 years away for the plant to produce 160k of units. could see sp in june 2010 to reach $1 if were lucky...
 
Some more clarity in an informative 1/4ly report. I take it the customer utility companies are to produce the housing components (with their own branding) and CFCL (cfu) supply the core fuel cells etc for the mCHP and BlueGen. BlueGen is a parallel modular product focussed on power generation but can be coupled for hot water. The factory in Germany is to have initial capacity to build 10000 fuel cell stacks and the premises are sufficient to allow expansion to 160000.
Looks like cfu units are passing all the ongoing 'tests'.
Lots of promising talks with potential partners and manufacturers, with plans to finalise sales and partnerships over the next few months. Potential sales of its ceramic powders too.
I like the statement that govt feed-in tariffs are good for early deployment (i.e. helps marketing); it implies that the company is not looking for the tariffs to prop up the long term sales.
Anyways, well worth a read, lots of promises, sales expected early 2010.

I for one would feel more comfortable when I see some of those finalised agreements and sales orders coming in. I would think each of the (successful) announcements there should be quite positive impacts on share value. What makes me nervous, one company saying 'no' and the rest follow suite.
 
Spot,mate...your last few posts on this thread come close to down ramping the stock..something which can get you into trouble with the mods on this very well run forum. IMO

We'd all hate to see you grounded..would miss your eloquence and wit ;)


Cheers Ya'll
 
Sorry Boyou ... did not mean to drop the stock so heavily. I apologise profusely to the mod squad if I have offended anyone. I also previously tried to talk the stock "UP" to no avail. It is what it is.

*grovelling apology with curtsy and pirouette at the end*
 
Apology ,not needed ,but thanks anyway.

I readily admit this one is still risky...but the upside is so good,it makes the risk worth it.There is so much "Kinetic" energy in CFU ,that IF and when it gets the first orders for units it will move very fast.

Then it may be hard to catch up with.. toot toot :)
 
I will be there on the bid when it happens. Dropped the stock due to no coverage mainly. great idea and biodiversity, kinetic, symbiotic, eco friendly (insert many save the world words here) ie ... it's not moving !!!!! :banghead: *long slow whistle to let off steam out of boiler*
 
Depends on what you mean by 'not moving'. Has certainly moved well down hill the past 3 years, but I spot a pottential bottom at 5c. Seems to have paused the downward move and tracking sideways. While there might be some short term trading opportunities between 5c and 20c, it's going sideways until it breaks 20c and there's some higher highs and lows after. Could just be reflecting the overall market at present too, and has no real substance. That volume around the bottom and up to now looks encouraging.

Thanks Kennas for the graphical information. I NEVER hold a stock longer than 3 months. Don't believe in "trends" and looking at screens. I buy a stock after doing a lot of research and sell it once it has three zeros behind it. ie as soon as I make $1000 I sell. Don't care if it goes from 17 cents to $1.32 after I have sold. If it gets to 3 months and has not moved I sell. This is the lamest strategy in the world I know comparing it to Trembling Hands conversion rate and others but it works for me. So far my worst LOSS has been $80.00 AUD. That's it. I make $2000 a week.

Sounds like a great strategy if it has worked this well for you! Now the interesting question is, how long have you been doing this?

The overall numbers don't mean too much to me TS, it's the % that matters.

This time around I have been back in the market for about 14 months. SIP Rule. S hares first I nterest second P roperty third. Move your money when ONE of these things are moving. ie Sharemarket is hot right now for bargains. Interest rates will go up in the next few years when Kruddys stimulus package comes home to roost in 2014. Property will jump in between, cyclic, has done so for 4 times I have been in and out of the market. Just observing the critical mass. :cautious:
 
looks like cfu on hold position. although big trades yesterday! wont see any market surprise until october :mad:. ...where is the media attention?
 
So with the Renewable Energy target (ret) being a done deal between the labor party and the coalition. Does this affect CFU by any means. Is there an advantage for CFU here to take part of this scheme. Cause it looks like its solely on Wind farms and Solar panels. Anyone know how CFU is affected?

Until the Govt or CFU can give the market firm guidance regarding whether CFU is considered renewable, its stock wont benefit much from this sort of announcement. Technically CFU say you can connect renewable energy to a Bluegen, but the entire business plan would change (no piggyback infrastructure like LNG has). This is a game maker/breaker for CFU IMO.
