News


A bumpy ride

FuelCell Energy – business valued too high

There has been a stark rise in the valuation of the business from around USD 100 million to now over USD 9 billion, with the stock price increasing from USD 1 – USD 2 to USD 29. I would go so far as to call it totally excessive. I got early wind of FuelCell Energy … Read more

Self-sufficiency solutions get ready for market

Off-grid living in Germany and Australia Energy self-sufficiency, a dream for a number of homeowners, is now gradually becoming a reality. As isolated projects have already demonstrated, it is perfectly feasible to forgo a conventional grid connection and have a property’s entire energy needs met by renewables alone.

Hydrogen neighborhoods in the making

Supplying zero-carbon energy to entire districts An increasing number of building projects are now incorporating an energy supply based on hydrogen and fuel cells.

Wait continues for hydrogen heating

Are fuel cell appliances fed by natural gas fit for the future? Fuel cell heating appliances have now been on the market for several years.
