This duck can fly The CFU share price has been in long term decline but now at last there is hope.1) New contract with iPowerUK means potential buyers can have a new BlueGen at zero cost other than installation and maintenance! WOW2) Distributed power in remote areas means the electricity supply companies like E.ON can install these in volume and save on installing expensive and inefficient transmission lines.3) High energy efficiency and prolonged longevity of the ceramic elements makes the product greater value than ever as the cost of ownership decreases.4) The dramatic drop in oil price means a worldwide drop in the price of LPG as the 2 are linked. Making electricity becomes relatively cheap.5) According to the latest company announcement CFU employees will benefit from CFU shares (part subject to an escrow agreement for two years meaning that, if the staff member leaves the Company within that time, they forfeit their remaining unvested shares). I don't think CFU would be giving shares to employees unless they had faith in the company surviving. 6) We know the next 6 months is critical but a lot of Dutch and German companies want CFU to survive and thrive. I believe they would provide financial support because it is in everybody's interest to see the unit cost of BlueGen come down and improved ceramic technology lengthen the lifespan.7) Not least global warming can be mitigated.I have topped up my CFU shares today.

Re: buy price H As always that is the risk. There is a risk this will go bust and and if it does I will lose my entire stake. If it survives I might get my 6 bagger ( I am in around 1p) in about 2 to 3 years.Need confirmation that deposit has been paid for the 65 Bluegens before Christmas, followed very swiftly in new year that we have at least one 100+ Bluegen order. My hunch? Watch for developments with E.on, Ideal and the integrated units in February.If nothing by end of Feb its all over.So do you buy now or wait for positive news that may reduce the risk of bankruptcy and you losing all your money?RegardsIMHO DYOR NAI

buy price All trades showing as sells at moment, but buy price is 0.40. Am wondering whether to have more at this price and see what happens next year, or is it a dead duck as many seem to think.

Re: MHCP Milestones i cant see how oil price effects it, since the uk government havent built enough power stations they all looking for what ever they can to reduce the load off the main grid.

Re: MHCP Milestones I wish you told me that a few years ago, but then again I doubt if I would have listened.I think quite a few porkeys have been told with fuel cells, but you might have it right they need another 10 years, also this oil price won't help now.i should have kept on to my ABF and my Fullers, they did pay a divy and look at the price now.we can't get it right all the time

Re: MHCP Milestones Bill,"Most of the time the phone just kept ringing."Are you sure you weren't dialling your local Fullers house by mistake?Not sure fuel cells are the right biznay to be in just now, with the poor old oil price wilting. They've always been the energy source of the future ten years down the road .... and they always will be.LKH on the flybridge

Re: MHCP Milestones I remember a few years ago E-on saying they were opening up a training school for CFUBlue gens and was never able to get an answer , when I phoned the said phone number,I got an answer phone twice and never got a return call, and gave it up trying to contact them.Most of the time the phone just kept ringing.

Re: MHCP Milestones lawdoc, E.ON announced yesterday a big re-organisation, they are going to concentrate on renewable energy, and I think CFU could benefit big time from this decision. The detail of what the E.ON decision entails regarding the new direction need to be clarified, but I think they are looking at local generation, smart grids, and lots of green generation. As you will note from my previous posts, I consider these integrated units to be key to success for CFU. The trials at soft-pact.eu have been ongoing for some time and if E.ON, CFU and Ideal Boilers pull this one off, it could be very big for CFU and its shareholders, especially at current sp of around 0.4p. The integrated units and Bluegens will supplement and support the green generation, all co ordinated and modulated by an electronic smart grid.IMHO DYOR NAI

MHCP Milestones I enquired about te progress on the MHCP for the UK and have been informed of this schedule. I have an old boiler (30 years plus) which has proved very reliable but I recognise that it needs updating at some stage. I do feel more positive about the CFU MHCP becoming a commercial reality now that I have seen the schedule. As for the CFU share price - please don't wind me up.These are the deliverables and milestones for the project and their status (Sorry, it is in a table but the copy and paste does not accept it in that way). Looks encouraging, don't you think?

Idle thoughts I originally bought into this company because I was impressed with its technology. I still am and cannot understand why it is not of more interest to countries trying to come up with more efficient electricity creation. I know the units are expensive. The cost would be greatly reduced once volume sales kick in. I wonder if shale gas might push interest in households creating there own and extra electricity. Out of interest I visited the CFCL website. The list of partners is very impressive throughout the world. Personally I am keeping the faith with this one. GLA

Flowgroup Amazing that Flowgroup with an inferior product is going from strength to strength. We need to get marketing working in the UK.GA
