Subject: Composites for Hydrogen Refuelling Systems - Massive Opportunity


Dear xxxxxx,

I have been researching ITM and noted the requirement for hydrogen refuelling systems to support the introduction of hydrogen cars from 2013 onwards, (See Extract 2 – provided below).

I "googled" "hydrogen refuelling systems, composites" and came up with a number of hits - one of which is the information document provided by the United States Department of Transportation and entitled, "Research and Innovative Technology Administration", (See Extract 1 – provided below)


I have no idea if the "Composites" used in the aerospace industry are the same, or can be designed or adapted, for use in the storage & transportation of hydrogen and the manufacture of hydrogen refuelling stations.

It may be worth more research as the infrastructure requirements for motor vehicle refuelling systems, (storage, refuelling stations and transportation of Hydrogen), will be massive – with such systems being required worldwide?

Hopefully Hampson are, or will be, investigating the potential opportunity.

Are you able to share any information of a non-confidential nature on the use of composites in Hydrogen fuelling systems?

Please on-pass this email to others on the management team.

Kind Regards

xxxxxxxxxx

Extract 1:

"This key area will be critical if hydrogen fueling infrastructures evolve that utilize hydrogen transported as a compressed gas in composite cylinders."




United States Department of Transportation

Research and Innovative Technology Adminisgration

Emergency Response Information: High Pressure Gas, Composite (19.2)
Criticality: High
Progress: Addressed, Not Adequately
Score: 20
DOT Relevance: 172 Subpart G

Description of Key Area

This key area pertains to the availability of appropriate information resources needed by first responders to potential emergencies (e.g., accidents) involving hydrogen stored and transported as a compressed gas in composite cylinders, which may be part of a hydrogen fueling infrastructure. Composite cylinders as used here refers to a broad range of pressure vessel types that include metallic or polymer shells (liners) that are reinforced by being hoop- wrapped or full-wrapped with high-strength carbon, fiberglass, or other fibers, which are generally resin impregnated. DOT special permits currently allow compressed hydrogen to be transported in certain specific types of composite packagings, as specified in the special permit language.

Extract 2:

In a world in which fossil fuel energy is becoming ever more scarce and expensive and countries are struggling to meet their carbon reduction obligations, hydrogen solutions have finally reached the top of energy agendas

-- European hydrogen car roll outs to start approximately two years early with Hyundai in 2013, followed by Mercedes in 2014 and almost every other major manufacturer in 2015

-- Requirements for hydrogen refuelling stations are being addressed now - in the UK with UK H(2) Mobility and in Germany with its equivalent, larger programme

-- Increasing size of installed base of intermittent renewable power generation worldwide means that energy storage is now seen as essential

Many thanks - had a look at ITM and their hydrogen refuelling systems to support the introduction of hydrogen cars from 2013 onwards. (See Extract 2)

I "googled" "hydrogen refuelling systems, composites" and came up with a number of hits - one of which is the article at Extract 1.

I have no idea if the "Composites" used in the aerospace industry are the same, or can be designed or adapted, for use in the transportation of hydrogen and the manufacture of hydrogen refuelling stations.

May be worth more research as the infrastructure requirements for motor vehicle refuelling systems, (storage, stations and transportation), worldwide, will be massive ?

I hope that Hampson are investigating the potential opportunity.

very interesting article cspn. I noted this bit:

"Kinks in the supply chain, mostly resulting, Boeing admits, from insufficient oversight or stress testing of its myriad suppliers, have plagued the program from the start. From fasteners to flight guidance software, from Foggia, Italy, to Charleston, South Carolina, delivery delays or component quality-control failures have incited increasingly hardball measures from Boeing, up to and including buying the under-performing partner outright and upgrading operations to Boeing standards."

Boeing overview Q3



BOEING

The Third Quarter

Strong performance is once again paying off. Boeing's third-quarter earnings have again beaten the street, with net income of $1.0 billion, or $1.35 per share, on continued strong core performance and revenue of $20.0 billion. On the commercial side, we booked 369 net orders and delivered 149 airplanes during the quarter. Our backlog of approximately 4,100 airplanes is valued at $307 billion. Our delivery guidance for the year is for 585 to 600 airplanes, including an expected 70 to 85 787 and 747-8 deliveries, of which approximately half are 787 deliveries.

As we head down the home stretch of 2012, it's important that we stay focused on executing our rate increases and delivering on our promises to customers. That commitment was very clear from every one of our programs during the third-quarter, as evidenced by the list of accomplishments below- in photos and video.

Positive news from Safran about their own performance and about the aerospace industry in general.

Extract:

"The company attributed the strong rise to continued robust demand for engines and other aerospace equipment from civil aircraft builders, as well as a 10% rise in defense sector sales."




Safran Confirms Full-Year Guidance as 3Q Revenue Climbs 15%

French aerospace supplier Safran SA (SAF.FR) on Thursday confirmed its earnings guidance for the full year as it posted a 15% increase in revenue for the third quarter of this year, boosted by increased production at its aircraft building customers and a 202 million-euro ($263 million) favorable impact from exchange rate movements.

MAIN FACTS:

- Revenue increased 15% to EUR3.13 billion from EUR2.73 billion a year before. On an organic basis, revenue rose by 6.2%.

- The company attributed the strong rise to continued robust demand for engines and other aerospace equipment from civil aircraft builders, as well as a 10% rise in defense sector sales. Aftermarket sales in the civil aeronautic sector rose by only 3% year on year.

- Safran confirmed its full-year earnings guidance despite absorbing the increased cost of social contributions on employee profit sharing.

- It expects revenue to rise at a rate in the low double digits, while recurring operating income is projected to rise by around 20%.

- The objective for free cash flow to represent about one-third of recurring operating income "remains achievable, yet challenging due to the significant working capital requirements to cope with rising production rates and uncertainty on the rhythm of French Defense Ministry payments in the fourth quarter."

- Revenue was helped by a EUR202 million gain from favorable currency movements, notably a stronger U.S. dollar, on revenue from overseas.

The Hampson board clearly think investors and their shares are completely worthless. At some point an announcement will be made that the company is in administration, assets will be sold to someone and PIs will be left with nothing. The aviation industry will continue to grow and whatever Hampson transforms into will make profit for its new owners.

Good news today for Airbus and its Suppliers, including Hampson...



Singapore Airlines to order more A380s and A350 XWBs

24 OCTOBER 2012

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has announced that it will order 25 more widebody aircraft from Airbus, comprising five double deck A380s and 20 A350-900s. The aircraft will be operated on the carrier's long range and regional services, offering maximum comfort and efficiency for high density and medium capacity routes.

The latest A380 order will be the third to be placed by the airline, bringing the total number of A380s ordered by SIA to 24. The airline, which was the launch operator for the A380, now has 19 aircraft in service, flying to 10 destinations in Europe, the US and the Asia-Pacific region from its Singapore base. In the mid-size category, the new A350 XWB order will see the airline double its backlog for the all-new aircraft to 40. The A350-900s will be used by the airline on both medium and long haul routes.
