Hans Sandlaß has died

On April 15th, 2022, a longtime champion for green hydrogen left us. Dr. Hans Sandlaß had been campaigning for the use of regenerative energies since 1983 in the former East Germany. In 1990, he founded the energy engineering firm IEE Ingenieurbüro Energieeinsparung GmbH and was committed to the use of hydrogen at an early stage. Until the end, he fervently participated in the social and political discussion. Dr. Hans Sandlaß died in Berlin at 90 years of age.

Regardless of the many good news and developments around hydrogen, there must of course also be a critical consideration of the aspects that may, for example, hinder or delay rapid build-up of production capacity. In addition to adverse influences due in part to misunderstood or counterproductive regulatory measures (EU/Germany) are aspects such as the shortage of skilled workers, supply chain problems and financing.

Weichai Power – The share price is rising

FuelCell Energy – Where are we going?

EuroFuelCell Energy should actually have generated a quarterly turnover of over 30 million USD in the second quarter, ending April 30th (fiscal year), but it was by then only about 16 million USD with a stated loss in the amount of about 31 million USD, or minus 0.08 USD per share. The management board nevertheless believes that they are on track to achieve a turnover of 300 million USD by 2025, and 1 billion USD by 2030. The order backlog was almost unchanged at about 1.3 billion USD. In the bank lies a formidable 490 million USD, for which a multitude of share placements (64 million new shares) is responsible – in proportion to the stock exchange value of 1.4 billion USD, a healthy basis, even if the question arises as to how these share placements were justified.
