Indeed. I hope (expect) that 2015 will bring vindication to this sector with companies like BLDP and HYGS turning a corner in terms of cash-flow, and that is has a very positive effect on share prices.
HYGS vs GEIG (Same sector fuel cell comparisons)
HYGS = $15.10
(Fuel cell company)
GEIG = $0.0010, UP more than 11%
(GEIG is a fuel cell electric power generation company).
GEIG's product is the GEI x5 fuel cell system. Its customers are
1)The U.S. military (US Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, etc.).
2)Businesses.
3)Homes
Its GEI x5 final field test result will be on 11/1/14 and then
mass productions of the GEI x5.
Also, there will be TV exposure on 11/14, 11/19 and I believe that
GEIG will go up high and higher all the way to 11/1, 11/14, 11/19
and then goes up more on "mass productions" news.

ITM Power trading update
Worth reading; they are moving very quickly now!

Agreed but the company needs to do much more from a stock PR perspective. I know their trying but they probably need to hire a better firm and get the word out to some quality institutions. It's managements job to get this done on behalf of us shareholders.
Agreed. I don't mind the silence though.. better than too much hype. I have my position and I'm confident about where this company is headed and the great projects they have underway and coming up. They should also turn the corner w/r to cash flow too, soon.
It amazes me at how dead this board is. This stock has tremendous potential to double if not triple over the next 9 months based on their earnings estimates and backlog alons. Its amazing how much more play their competition (to a certain extent) FCEL and PLUG get. No better time to accumulate shares than now (at around $15) as I highly doubt the shares will go much lower than this. If it does go lower it will bounce back in a big way once quarterly earnings are announced in early November.

ITM Power: Injection of Hydrogen into the German Gas Distribution Grid
4 December 2013
ITM Power (AIM: ITM), the energy storage and clean fuel company, is pleased to announce that, with its partners Mainova Aktiengesellschaft and NRM Netzdienste Rhein-Main GmbH, the Company has injected hydrogen into the German gas distribution network. The ITM Power rapid response electrolyser plant has been delivered and commissioned ahead of schedule and the compliance and permitting work has been completed to enable the incorporation of hydrogen via the compliant mixing plant.
According to an announcement made by the Thüga Group:

Sandia Labs News Releases
April 15, 2014
Low-cost, hydrogen-powered forklifts with rapid refueling, zero emissions coming soon
LIVERMORE, Calif.— Zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell systems soon could be powering the forklifts used in warehouses and other industrial settings at lower costs and with faster refueling times than ever before, courtesy of a partnership between Sandia National Laboratories and Hawaii Hydrogen Carriers (HHC).
The goal of the project is to design a solid-state hydrogen storage system that can refuel at low pressure four to five times faster than it takes to charge a battery-powered forklift, giving hydrogen a competitive advantage over batteries for a big slice of the clean forklift market. The entire U.S. forklift market was nearly $33 billion in 2013, according to Pell Research.

The tank will be combined with a fuel cell system to make a fuel cell power pack to power a forklift.

“Once you understand how these forklifts operate, the fuel cell advantage is clear,” said Sandia’s project manager Joe Pratt.
Refueling hydrogen fuel cell powered forklifts takes less than three minutes compared to the hours of recharging needed for battery-powered forklifts, Pratt said. Consequently, fuel cell-powered forklifts are able to operate continuously for eight or more hours between fills.
Currently, companies using battery-powered forklifts need to purchase three battery packs for each forklift to ensure continuous operation. They also need to set aside warehouse space for battery recharging.
Sandia has worked with the fuel cell forklift industry for several years to help get clean, efficient and cost effective fuel cell systems to market faster. Standards developed by Sandia soon will be published so industry can develop new, high-performing hydrogen fuel systems for industrial trucks.
Department of Energy grant leads to collaboration
Intrigued by the potential benefits of fuel cells over the electric batteries that now power most forklifts, HHC obtained a grant from the Energy Department’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and asked Pratt to help improve the design of a hydrogen storage system for fuel cells.
Pratt has spearheaded other Sandia efforts to introduce hydrogen systems into the marketplace. He served as technical lead, for instance, for studies on the use of fuel cells to power construction equipment, personal electronic devices, auxiliary equipment and portable generators. Most recently, he led a study and subsequent demonstration project on commercial use of hydrogen fuel cells to provide power at ports.
For its part, HHC is developing technologies for the fuel cell forklift market and expects cost reductions and performance improvements that will help the market grow. The company is developing a low-pressure hydrogen storage system that can be refueled at standard industrial gas pressures. That should reduce fuel system cost and expand the market to facilities that can’t accommodate conventional high-pressure fueling systems.
To solidify the forklift collaboration, HHC sent Adrian Narvaez to Sandia’s Combustion Research Facility in California for several months. “Joe and I work together every day on the design, so it’s a huge advantage to be able to work on site at Sandia,” said Narvaez.
Pratt said: “If hydrogen refueling is short enough to occur during normal downtimes, such as during operator breaks, then a single hydrogen forklift can do the work of three battery packs over the course of 24 hours. That translates into a direct cost savings.”
Technical, economic barriers to overcome
Today’s hydrogen storage units require high pressure (5,000 pounds per square inch, or psi) to achieve a short refueling time — and high pressure refueling requires an on-site compression system. “That can be a big expense, especially for a small company,” Narvaez explained. “If we can provide a storage system that meets the target refueling time at, say, 500 psi, companies can get a break in the up-front costs. Plus, they no longer have to purchase battery rechargers or dedicate space for recharging. Instead, companies can simply purchase and store hydrogen tanks as needed.”
Designing a storage system that meets HHC’s specifications and can be integrated into a fuel cell power pack required overcoming some key challenges. Among these are identifying optimal metal hydride materials, determining an optimal shape and size for the storage tank and ensuring thermal management to achieve and maintain the temperatures required for fast refueling and supply of the hydrogen.
Work to identify the right metal hydride for the system focused on Hy-Stor 208, a misch metal-nickel-aluminum alloy that meets targets for hydrogen storage capacity, density and thermal conductivity. The material also provides sufficient hydrogen pressure for refueling at an operating temperature of 60 degrees Celsius.
While this type of metal hydride is heavy, the weight acts as needed ballast and thus is a benefit in forklifts. To increase thermal conductivity, the team also explored adding to the metal hydride two forms of expanded natural graphite, flakes and so-called “worms” because of their tubular shape.
Pratt and Narvaez drew on modeling and simulation results from an earlier project led by Sandia engineer Terry Johnson to identify a small-diameter tube as the best design for storing the metal hydride. They then varied several tube characteristics, such as the hydrogen distribution channel and the amount and type of thermal enhancement material used. Next, they conducted experiments to evaluate the effects of these variations on a range of performance parameters, including hydrogen storage capability, refill time, durability, discharge ability and residual capacity at a minimum discharge point.
“As the models predicted, we saw only minor differences in performance when we varied the graphite types. Likewise, the presence or absence of the hydrogen distribution channel had little effect on performance,” said Narvaez. “These findings show that this application is not aggressively pushing the performance of the metal hydride storage to the point where these variations would make a difference. In fact, this is good, because it means we can use the lowest-cost solution and still expect good performance.”
Using findings from their experiments, Pratt and Narvaez developed an optimized storage-system design.
More incentives to switch to fuel cell technology
During this time, the team also began to conceive of a tube array that would allow efficient thermal management (via water flows around the tubes).
With Sandia’s and HHC’s design complete, project activity will transfer to Hawaii, where HHC will produce the first prototype metal hydride storage system. HHC will work with Canadian fuel-cell company Hydrogenics, which will integrate the new storage system into its proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell power pack, designed to fit into a forklift.
“DOE catalyzed the market for fuel cell forklifts, using industry cost-sharing to deploy more than 500 units through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act,” said Pratt. “The private sector recognized the advantages of fuel cell forklifts and deployed more than 5,000 additional units since then without government funding. If successful, the HHC project will lead to lower cost, improved-performance fuel cell forklift systems that will lead to even greater market growth.”
Sandia National Laboratories is a multi-program laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corp., for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration. With main facilities in Albuquerque, N.M., and Livermore, Calif., Sandia has major R&D responsibilities in national security, energy and environmental technologies and economic competitiveness.

New electrolysis stack technology from Canadian developer Hydrogenics offers a megawatt conversion capacity of 85%, paving the way for advanced gas power energy storage. "Creating a highly efficient link between the electrical grid and the natural gas system power to gas unlocks the massive energy storage capacity which we have already built and paid for," Daryl Wilson, chief executive at Hydrogenics told Gas to Power Journal.
....the Company re-iterates the previously announced 2014 outlook that it will exceed $50 million in revenue and will surpass break-even Adjusted EBITDA1 for the year. This view is supported as follows:
The Company finished 2013 with $57 million in backlog;
Approximately $40 million of the current contracted backlog will be realized as revenue in calendar 2014; and
Other sales pipeline opportunities closing into backlog in the first and second quarters will have revenue potential for the second half of 2014.
What happens if something better than a hydrogen fuel cell comes along?
Doesn't matter to me neither. It was clear from the last CC that they are up to some big projects and I suspect we want have to wait long before we get more details.
Any nice dip because of nervous nellys will be a good opportunity to buy more shares.
Stock Split or Issuance of Shares to Fund Major Project?
Doesn't Matter to Me.

Look Out California. Here Comes Nevada!
Since 2010, Nevada has invested $5.5 billion in clean energy, creating a renewable energy boom that includes the state's first utility-scale wind farm, according to a new report by the Clean Energy Project NV.
Clean energy investment in Nevada has accelerated rapidly in the past five years, leveraging national resources and the support and leadership of local, state and federal officials. Thanks to Nevada's widespread leadership and support for the clean energy economic sector, Nevada ranks sixth in the United States in installed solar capacity, representing an investment of more than $2.3 billion. As the sunniest state in the nation, Nevada has unlimited potential to expand its use of clean energy even further, creating more new jobs and drive the state's economy.
Nevada's renewable energy boom is catching the attention of the industry as several national energy industry events gravitate to the area, including the American Wind Energy Association, the Geothermal Energy Association, the National Clean Energy Summit and the Solar Energy Industries Association.
"Las Vegas and Nevada are leading the way on deploying clean renewable energy. These technologies are creating thousands of jobs, and they are strengthening our state's electricity supply," said U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid during a press conference at the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign, which has been solar-powered since January. "But, there is more we must do. From providing predictable and fair tax incentives that level the playing field, to quickly approving permits for projects on public lands, we can help clean energy grow in Nevada and nationwide."

Times are Changing - Could be a Game Changer
Net Metering - Consumers Selling Energy to Utilities
The Vermont Legislature has voted to increase the state's solar net metering cap from 4 percent of a utility's peak load to 15 percent. The bill, HB 702, is headed to the governor's desk for signature.
According to the State of Vermont Department of Public Service, net metering is one of the state's most successful renewable energy programs and delivers benefits to utilities, the grid and ratepayers.
Net metering allows customers with on-site solar to use clean solar energy they generate themselves, and then receive full retail credit for any surplus electricity sent back to the grid, which utilities can then sell to neighboring homes and businesses.
The CEO of Green Mountain Energy, which serves the majority of Vermont customers, has expressed the opinion that Vermont should have no cap at all.
"I think having a cap is a huge problem," CEO Mary Powell told a Vermont newspaper. "We should figure out how to adapt to this new future that is here and what our customers want."
HB 702, which will nearly quadruple Vermont's net metering cap, is expected within two weeks.
