might this become the fuel cell equivalent of Apple,google,etc etc

we can dream.

Maybe you think that Robert Bosch is just another collaborator for Ceres.

Think again and/or look up

I guarantee you will be surprised

Bosch employs over 389 000 people in more than 60 countries, supplying a complex distribution network of new products and parts.[15]

here are other wholly owned Bosch subsidiaries in:

India (26,000) Brazil (14,190) China (12,370) Turkey (>10,000 employees in Bursa, Istanbul and in Manisa) France (9,720 including 70 long term/ short term assignees[13] ) Czech Republic (8,690) Japan (8,130) Spain (7,950) Hungary (14,200) Italy (5,160) United Kingdom (4,920) Portugal (3,940) Romania Netherlands (4,000)[14] Switzerland (2,780) Australia (2,300) Malaysia (2,220) Austria (2,140) Belgium (2,040) South Korea (2,000) Russia (1,730) Poland (1,640) Sweden (1,230) South Africa (1,010) Viet Nam (1,000) Tunisia (770)
and other countries.]

It is of particular interest that the founder Robert Bosch became a great philanthropist and left not only an engineering empire but also left it substantially as a trust, with great social consequences.

A great partner indeed for Ceres - arguably the greatest so far.

Did anyone listen to yesterday morning#s analyst call?
For those who have not caught up with Phil's 6/7 minute interview yesterday-nothing really new but good to be reminded that in the lazy days of August they have done deals with both Nissan and Bosch,

Using fuel cells, considerable power can be generated locally and highly efficiently and practically without emissions. In this way, discrete areas can be created that are largely independent of centralized power supplies. In addition, SOFC systems are an ideal partner for renewable forms of energy. For example, they can help balance intermittent renewables and in the future convert “green” hydrogen into electricity with little environmental impact.

[andrbea] 22/8/2018 15:26

As part of the partnership, the SOFC technology could be harnessed for various applications, including small power plants, which could be built in cities and industrial and commercial areas. Each SOFC module could generate 10 kW of electric power and they can be interconnected, according to Ceres. One of the functions of such cells would be to cap peak loads.

In combination with renewable energies, it is also possible to compensate for fluctuating feed-in and to convert renewable electricity into hydrogen.

[andrbea] 22/8/2018 15:25

Together with Ceres Power, Bosch plans to develop small SOFC power plants that can be located anywhere in the city and in industrial and commercial areas. Due to the high flexibility of the standardized systems, peak loads can be covered better and above all faster than with conventional systems. In the future, a SOFC module is to generate an electrical output of 10 kW. For a higher energy demand, any number of modules with the same output can simply be networked.

No reason has yet emerged for the Bosch RNS, and the 'coming out' from ties of secrecy. Will the next news be of the launch of commercialisation of the first company powered product which the company I believe suggested would come in Q4 2018. It might then reveal Bosch as the first to be unleashed?

[nivison] 22/8/2018 12:16

this is more like it. I think the quality and quantity of global partners is starting to tell. What I really like is that , so far at least, these global OEM's want to get more involved in the company once they have seen what Ceres can do rather than the other way around. It's not just one OEM either and the most recent sign-up, Bosch, is a really high quality name to be associated with.

great stuff.

Just joined in here. Looks like a very decent company with excellent management.

Small power stations for urban power supplies

SOFC technology uses an electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell stack to convert fuel such as natural gas or hydrogen into electricity. The environmental benefit is considerable, with much lower emissions than from power stations that use a combustion process.

Together with Ceres Power, Bosch will work on making SOFC technology available for various applications: the vision is to have small power stations set up throughout cities, as well as in industrial areas. Because these standardized plants are highly flexible, they will be able to cover peak demand better, as well as faster, than conventional plants. The aim is for one SOFC module to generate 10 kW of electrical power. Where more electricity is needed, any number of modules with the same output can simply be interconnected.

Using fuel cells, considerable power can be generated locally and highly efficiently and practically without emissions. In this way, discrete areas can be created that are largely independent of centralized power supplies. In addition, SOFC systems are an ideal partner for renewable forms of energy. For example, they can help balance intermittent renewables and in the future convert "green" hydrogen into electricity with little environmental impact.

In this case not development of electric cars.

I noticed the coincidence of your previous post. Top soothsaying.

Seems like excellent news.

CWR needs to get itself better known in Germany since almost all global dissemination of technological news,..............................

This morning's RNS is the perfect answer in that CWR reveals that it has been collaborating with Robert Bosch the great global German engineering group most closely tied to the German motor industry, but with great direct involvement in power tools. I entered the German Engineering industry in that same city in Stuttgart in 1957 and worked there under one of Bosch's most promising future managers, who went on as Bosch CEO in Australia. I stayed there 15 years and find the news personally very exciting.

Noone should take a bet with me that CWR will not in consequence inevitably play an important role in the development of the electric car, with this foothold in Stuttgart close to Daimler Benz with whom as near neighbours Bosch is culturally intertwined, great though CWR's collaborations with Honda and Nissan, the UK is closer, politically and industrially, to Germany.

This news is exceptionally good and raises the question why after a substantial period of secrecy, the two companies have NOW decided that they can 'come clean'. Perhaps it is because Bosch has only now decided to endorse progress by entrusting £9m as an investment in Ceres.
Will they soon tell a story of successful progress? - Almost certainly.

[dozey3] 21/8/2018 07:31

You may be interested in this:
Bosch are cooperating with CWR and investing £9m. Peanuts to them but surely one of these acorns will turn into a mighty oak. Disclosure: I hold but have not time to wait 100 years.

'In addition, Bosch will make a GBP9m strategic equity investment in Ceres. ' - 151p

[colsmith] 20/8/2018 09:50

SCRUT - interesting, thanks. Seems that on the quite hydrogen is moving up. With the mighty German car industry some sort of involvement would be a market to pursue or as you wonder current agreements inhibit. However, they are into China and maybe that suggests they are 'free' work with whoever wants them or they can sell the tech to. Anyhow as a UK company in what is clearly going to be a huge industry lets hope they remain UK and don't get sold off.

[scrutable] 18/8/2018 15:55

CWR needs to get itself better known in Germany since almost all global dissemination of technological news, whether or not it germinates in Germany, and radiates from the great German exhibitions. I wonder whether CWR'S close relationship with Nissan and Honda inhibits its approach to the big three: Daimler/VW, and BMW. Shell will clearly help
