...und CFCL bewegt sich absolut nicht. Haben die nicht mal irgendwelche News, oder haben schlicht die Lust auf die eigene Firma verloren?

Heute wurde der Ausstieg aus der Atomkraft beschlossen und hier weht nichtmal ein Lüftchen an Pioniergeist. Leider stecke ich hier mit sehr viel Geld fest und könnte platzen. Alle haben heute 10-20% zugelegt, nur CFCL nicht...

Tognum
Aus für Brennstoffzellengeschäft
14.06.2011 | Redakteur: Stefan Liebing



Der Motorenbauer Tognum hat am Freitag die Beschäftigten über das endgültige Aus für das Brennstoffzellengeschäft informiert. Etwa 60 fest angestellte Mitarbeiter am Standort Ottobrunn bei München werden wegen der Schließung bis Ende Juni 2011 eine betriebsbedingte Kündigung erhalten.



Das Aus für Tognums Brennstoffzellengeschäft bedeutet für ca. 60 fest angestellte Mitarbeiter am Standort Ottobrunn bei München die Kündigung.

So heißt es in einem Schreiben im Tognum-Intranet, das der Nachrichtenagentur dpa vorliegt. Die Tognum-Führung verhandelt mit dem Betriebsrat über einen Interessenausgleich und Sozialplan.


Das endgültige Aus für das Tognum-Brennstoffzellengeschäft ist seit Donnerstagabend besiegelt: Auch der britische Motorenbauer Rolls-Royce, der gemeinsam mit Daimler neuer Tognum-Großaktionär ist, will die Entwicklung von stationären Brennstoffzellen nicht übernehmen. Die Briten kamen nach dpa-Informationen nach einer ausführlichen Prüfung zu dem Schluss, dass das Geschäft auf Dauer nicht rentabel ist. Auch mit den eigenen Brennstoffzellen-Aktivitäten von Rolls-Royce passe das Tognum-Geschäft nicht zusammen.

Ist doch gut für CFC  

Nachdem ich knapp drei Jahre hier mitlese, habe ich mich nun auch mal angemeldet. Ich habe cfcl schon recht lange im Depot, mit einer für mich doch recht großen Position. Aktuell bin ich leicht im Minus und hoffe ständig auf einen nachhaltigen Ausbruch... Bin da recht geduldig, aber manchmal zweifle ich schon, ob hier tatsächlich so viel Potenzial drin steckt.

Bei der Meldung von/über Tognum habe ich auch erst gedacht, dass das gut für cfcl ist. Andererseits muss man sich fragen, warum die aus dem Geschäft ausgestiegen sind und RR das nicht weiterführen will. Das wird schon seine Gründe haben...

Gute Frage, 10 Millionen Stücke werden in Sydney auch nicht jeden Tag gehandelt... Mir solls recht sein. Wir aber bestimmt nicht lange halten. Aber ich habe beim letzten downer nochmal nachgelegt :-)

 

Es hängt mit einem großen Auftrag und guten News zusammen. Bin/war eigentlich überzeugt von Unternehmen und Produkt aber in letzter Zeit ging's stetig bergab:-(  

AUSTRALIAN FIRM SAYS FUEL CELLS SHOULD OFFSET ENERGY DEMAND

As Australia's carbon debate heats up, one company says it has a solution to offset growing energy demands.

A box the size of a bar fridge could save up to 75 per cent of household power bills and significantly reduce carbon emissions, says Ceramic Fuel Cells group (ASX:CFU) general manager Andrew Neilson.

The Melbourne company's BlueGen fuel cell unit converts natural gas and renewable fuels into high-quality power and heat.

Ceramic Fuel Cells, listed on the Australian stock exchange, supplies to governments and energy companies in Australia and overseas, including Germany, France, the UK, Japan and the United States.

In Germany, one of the company's biggest customers, utility firms supply the BlueGen unit free of charge to households, which then pay for the natural gas they use.

In Australia, solar energy technology can be hooked up to energy grids via a feed-in tariff, allowing the home owner to potentially earn money from their energy company.

But this isn't allowed for fuel cell technologies.

The restrictions make it extremely difficult to crack the residential market in Australia, Mr Neilsen says.

"It's something we're lobbying the state governments about at the moment. So far, we've seen lots of nodding heads, but no action."

Mr Neilson says a carbon tax will encourage the switch to gas as grid electricity becomes more expensive.

"To be frank, it's a good thing for us, because it makes onsite generation from gas far more cost-effective."

"It will become more economically attractive to make the switch away from grid power towards other sources.

"And it does this with the highest electrical efficiency of any generating technology in the world."

He says Australia's yet to grasp the full benefit as government approval has not yet been granted for a feed-in tariff for fuel cell technologies.

"In Europe, they recognise feed-in tariffs for a variety of technologies including fuel cells, but in Australia we don't have that," Mr Neilson says.

The Victorian government is conducting a review of feed-in tariffs, with results expected in 2012, and the NSW government also asked the Regulatory Tribunal of NSW in July to review feed-in tariffs for solar power.

Ceramic Fuel Cells has called for both reviews to extend to low-emission technologies such as fuel cells.

The company has decided to focus on exports because of domestic government inaction on feed-in tariffs, says Mr Neilsen.

The CSIRO says a two-kilowatt BlueGen unit, currently retailing at $45,000, can save up to 33 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year when replacing power derived from brown coal.

If widely implemented, the system could save governments cash, reducing the need for billions of dollars in infrastructure and also reducing carbon emissions, Mr Neilson says.

The company recently won a contract to supply 25 BlueGen units to Ausgrid for installation in Australia's largest grid project, based in Newcastle, NSW.

Other domestic customers include the Victorian government, Adelaide City Council and Canberra Institute of Technology.

Ceramic Fuel Cells began selling BlueGen units in May 2009, and posted a loss of $8.4 million for the six months to December 31, 2010, due to a 37 per cent drop in sales revenue and the impact of a stronger Australian dollar.

"We're in the process of starting to ramp up sales and that will deliver revenue to get us cash-flow positive and then ultimately profitable," Mr Neilson says.

Ceramic Fuel Cells is headquartered in Melbourne, has manufacturing plants in Germany and the UK, and employs 125 staff across its business.

200 Einheiten klingt gut.

 

Kann mir mal jemand erklären, warum hin und wieder nur 1000 Stücke (z.B. in Frankfurt) gehandelt werden? Da kann man doch kein Geld mit verdienen. Und selbst für Teilausführungen ist das doch viel zu wenig, oder?

 

Wie wärs mit Karibik?  

wo kommt der kursanstieg her?

 

http://dk-chartanalyse.blogspot.com/  

endlich passiert hier mal wieder was!
Wir haben aber auch lange genug warten müssen!
Charttechnisch sieht es alles sehr gut aus.
Um 0,2 - 0,3 Cent sollte es hier die Tage noch nach oben gehen.
Die Rakete nimmt wieder ein bischen Fahrt auf.

Dies ist keine Kauf- bzw. Verkaufsempfehlung  

Ceramic Fuel Cells appoints German Distributor: Initial order for 100 BlueGen units
25 July 2011


Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited (AIM/ASX: CFU), the world?s leading developer of high efficiency and low emission power products for homes, has received an initial order for 100 BlueGen units from sanevo Lizenz-GmbH & Co. KG. Ceramic Fuel Cells has also signed a distribution agreement with sanevo to market, sell, install and service BlueGen gas-to-electricity products in regions of Germany and Austria.

Sanevo has placed an initial order for 100 BlueGen units to be delivered in the first year, with a target minimum order of 500 units for delivery in the second year and a target of 2000 units over years three and four.

Provided sanevo orders these agreed minimum numbers of BlueGen units during 2012 to 2014, sanevo has exclusive rights to distribute BlueGen to commercial and residential customers in the German States of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, and in Austria. Ceramic Fuel Cells retains full rights to sell BlueGen units to utilities and energy service companies.

The order for 100 units is the largest order so far for the Company?s BlueGen product, and builds upon the recent order for 25 units from Ausgrid in Australia. Ceramic Fuel Cells has now received orders for a total of 206 BlueGen units and up to 200 integrated mCHP products.

Based in Offenbach, near Frankfurt, sanevo has substantial experience in marketing and selling new technology power and heating products in Germany through more than 120 qualified sales partners.

Sanevo has partnered with SAG GmbH ? one of Germany?s largest independent service and system providers for electricity, gas, water and telecommunications products and networks ? to provide installation and after sales service for BlueGen products. SAG has more than 8,300 staff in operations across Germany and Europe. With sales revenue of one billion euro, SAG has over

120 locations throughout Germany to provide a high level of service availability.

In April 2011 sanevo and SAG each purchased a BlueGen unit for their own buildings.

BlueGen uses ceramic fuel cells to turn natural gas into electricity and heat for hot water, with each unit capable of producing more than three times the electricity needed to power the average German home. (In Germany the average home consumes an estimated 4,100 kilowatt hours of electricity per year.)

Surplus electricity is sold back to the grid or used in supplementary applications such as charging an electric car. In addition, surplus heat is captured for domestic hot water use. BlueGen units generate electricity with the highest electrical efficiency of any small scale generating technology in the world, reducing energy bills and cutting carbon emissions.

BlueGen customers in Germany are eligible to receive a feed in tariff for the power exported back to the grid.

BlueGen® receives MCS accreditation
and is eligible for UK Feed in Tariff
Thursday 25 August 2011
Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited (ASX / AIM: CFU) a leading developer of high efficiency and low emission electricity generation units for homes and other buildings, is pleased to announce that its BlueGen® Microgeneration Heat and Power (mCHP) product has received final Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) product and factory accreditation, enabling BlueGen customers to benefit from the UK government’s feed in tariff financial incentive scheme.

BlueGen is the first fuel cell product to receive MCS certification and be eligible for the UK feed in tariff.

BlueGen customers will now be able to use their BlueGen to export electricity into the national grid and earn revenue during the process. The feed in tariffs are 10.5 pence per kilowatt hour of electricity generated, plus an additional 3.1 pence per kilowatt hour of electricity exported to the grid.

BlueGen uses ceramic fuel cells to turn natural gas into electricity and heat for hot water, with each unit capable of producing more than three times the electricity needed to power the average UK home. Surplus electricity can be sold back to the grid. BlueGen also provides heat for domestic hot water use. BlueGen units generate electricity at up to double the efficiency of the current UK power grid, reducing energy bills as well as making significant carbon savings.

The MCS certifies microgeneration technologies used to produce electricity and heat from renewable and low emission sources. All microgeneration products must be accredited under MCS in order to be eligible for the UK feed in tariffs. The MCS accreditation process involves an extensive and rigorous third party review of all the procedures involved in manufacturing, installing and maintaining a microgeneration product. MCS accreditation recognises the quality of the highly efficient BlueGen units and gives consumers a financial incentive to migrate to efficient energy production.

Brendan Dow, Managing Director of Ceramic Fuel Cells said,

"Feed in tariffs play an important part in the UK’s clean energy policy and becoming eligible for the feed in tariffs is a significant step forward for sales of our BlueGen product in the UK market.”
