Re: Investors Briefing Sorry I have not replied until now. I did not take any notes, and the USA election has been somewhat of a distraction.I asked some questions about their historical connection with Calor, as I saw this as a low hanging fruit that might get them a track record in the market, often the most diificult and necessary first hurdle to get liability protection to involve third party manufacturers.Apparently Calor in the UK use a gas mix which is variable and difficult to tweak to any fuel cell sysytem, However, rural applications with bottled gas using pure butane or propane could well be such a low hanging fruit in other parts of Europe and the Far East.Ceres now, Hhowever,, sees itself as more of a tier one providing the fuel cell stack components for variuos applications in cluding domestic heat and power, power supplies, backup and initial supplies for data/server centres, range extenders for automotive electrics/hybrids etc. Apparently Cummins is very interested, as they face a possible scenario where diesel could be banned in some of their current markets for stationary power generation. In domestic heat and power, they see their stacks as being viable for 10 years which is considered the life of most domestic boilers. It seems that Europe and the far East (mostly Japan, but also Korea) are their current most promising markets, but USA interest in power plants for data servers is also warming up.They appear to be selling a reasonable level of engineering services as evidence of partners preparing for significant licensing. They appear flexible to what type of licenses, ranging from large upfront payments/lower unit royalties, to the reverse, depending on the application and partner., I' ll write more if I find the time and remember more.MichaelMichael

Investors Briefing I have followed Ceres for many years, but have not yet bought shares, having invested in Ceramic Fuel Cells 
and AFC 
instead. When Ceres announced an investor's briefing, I applied to attend, and was surprised they replied positively. I appeared to be the only private investor present, and asked about 80% of the questions, which were well received, and even continued talking with staff after the CEO ended the meeting.Overall I was impressed, but agree that it could easily go private in the next year of so, but most likely at a decent premium to the present share price. I am very tempted to finally buy in if I can find the cash, or may sell off other shares to do so.Michael

Re: Going private? I think the trigger point for an offer is 30%... but you may be right that we are heading towards a bid. I hope not. Seems very unsatisfactory that when things go badly PIs are left to bear the losses, but when the prospects are good the company is taken private with at best modest profits for PIs.

Going private? Now that IP group have 25%, does this mean that they have to make a bit for the whole company?

Re: Info I've been adding recently on a couple of occasions. I'm feeling quite pleased about its various collaborations around the world, and the calibre of the players Ceres are working with. One aspect that pleases me is that their fuel cell is fuel agnostic.

longer range electric cars? Ceres Power Holdings PLC (LON:CWR), the fuel cell technology specialist, is to work with car giant Nissan to develop a range extender for electric vehicles.The partnership comes after a consortium, led by Ceres, was granted £772,000 from Innovate UK and The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) back in March to develop electric vehicle technology.Ceres and Nissan, which will also work alongside manufacturer M-Solv, are aiming to develop a compact, on-board solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that addresses the issue of range with electric vehicles.Ceres hopes that by improving the range, the adoption of electric cars into the mainstream market will be significantly accelerated.“We are delighted to be working with Nissan and M-Solv to enable an all-electric vehicle with a longer range and shorter refuelling time,” said Ceres’ chief executive Phil Caldwell.“In addition, this project broadens the applications for Ceres Power’s SteelCell technology into the automotive industry as well as using alternative fuels such as biofuels.”At the start of the year, the company said it planned to announce five major partnerships over the next couple of years.This deal with Nissan is its second, following on from its agreement with Honda earlier on in 2016, and Ceres is hoping to announce another one within the next few months.Ceres will work alongside Nissan for an initial 21 months to develop the SOFC.Shares were down 0.2p, or 2.5%, to 8.31p.[link]

Broker Zeus Capital's view: "This morning Ceres Power revealed Nissan as the ‘global automotive partner’ in the electric vehicle (‘EV’) range extender program it is leading, which was first announced to the market on March 22nd this year, and constitutes further excellent commercial progress. Automotive OEM partner Nissan joins existing Ceres partners Honda in stationary power generation, and KD Navien (Korea’s largest boiler company) in residential micro combined heat and power (‘mCHP’)." on research tree
