AFC Energy has announced that it has built its first new 30kW liquid-cooled fuel cell generator. These units are smaller, cheaper, lighter and simpler than the old generators, and properly competitive against modern diesel generators in the temporary power market. Development of this new unit is on the timeline we expected and under budget. Scale-up is now being accelerated with manufacturing partner Volex plc. Next steps are FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) testing and full certification (CE) foll...
In an exciting development for UK renewables, AFC Energy, with partners, has launched the UK Ammonia Alliance (UKAA). The UKAA is a coalition of innovative companies with a shared mission to maximise the strategic role of ammonia for a more secure and sustainable energy future. Ammonia is already essential for agriculture and industry, as a key ingredient in fertilisers, refrigeration, and manufacturing. While ammonia is traditionally produced using unabated fossil fuels, low-carbon ammonia is e...
AFC Energy raised over £27m in July to finalise the development of its market-leading power generators and ammonia crackers, and to speed up commercial deployment; see our note Prepare for power for the background to the fundraising. Today, AFC has issued a positive year-end update on the strategic reset and developmental progress. The Group now has multiple fuel cell generator deployments in the field through its Speedy Hydrogen Solutions JV. AFC has also successfully completed the first phase ...
AFC is recapitalised and ready to go, with c. £27.5m of funds raised to finalise the development of its market-leading power generators and crackers, and to speed up commercial deployment. We believe the European hydrogen sector is now more clearheaded, pursuing practical and economic solutions for customers. The Group is leading this change, focused on cost competitiveness for hydrogen fuelling, and workable solutions to mitigate the lack of infrastructure. At this stage we do not publish forec...
AFC Energy has announced that it has conditionally raised gross proceeds of £23m at 10p (via an oversubscribed Placing and Subscription). The Placing was increased to £23m (from £20m) to accommodate some of the excess demand. AFC will separately seek up to £5m of additional funds from retail investors through the RetailBook platform. The c.£14.5m of conditional Placing shares (by value) and any RetailBook share are subject to approval at the General Meeting, expected on 7 August 2025.
AFC is seeking c.£25m1 to accelerate the commercialisation of its leading hydrogen power and fuelling technologies. The hydrogen economy is hampered by high fuel costs for power users and a lack of infrastructure to support adoption. AFC’s solutions - cost-competitive and subsidy-free generators, and ammonia crackers - help to address these problems. The first product, the 30kW H-Power generator is in ramp up, with production of 300+ units planned through to the end of 2028. The highly innovativ...
AFC Energy has announced a JV with leading provider of hydrogen powered generator technologies, Industrial Chemicals Group Limited (ICL), one of the UK's largest independent chemical manufacturing and distribution companies. The aim is to provide a low cost and reliable hydrogen supply from ammonia, to a range of secured offtakers. This JV will be formed with existing AFC assets, with minimal further investment at this stage. The agreement will sit alongside the recently announced joint developm...

An agreement has been signed for future supply of fuel cell systems to support anticipated demand. Further, plans are well progressed for volume manufacturing, with the intention to enter a strategic partnership with ...
