I feel more confident now in this company than ever,following that announcement.

It is very important,going forward, having support behind the scenes.

The US is a big country .

It's great news and the important thing is that word us spreading in the US.

Great to see the price moving. After our internet access was restored I did a chart which suggested 180.5, then 186.5 in a matter of days, but the targets were so short term, I thought I might be showing holders bias. Looks quite achievable now.

Bring it on!

' Connecticut Natural Gas, PG&E, Questar Gas, Southwest Gas and Xcel Energy offer incentives for energy reduction using Xeros laundry system

Xeros Technology Group plc (AIM: XSG), the innovative developer of a patented polymer bead cleaning system with multiple identified commercial applications, today announces that Connecticut Natural Gas, Pacific Gas & Electricity Company, Questar Gas, Southwest Gas, and Xcel Energy are now offering incentives for the energy and water savings achieved using the Xeros polymer bead cleaning systems. The Xeros polymer bead cleaning system is proven to reduce natural gas usage by up to 100% and water usage by up to 80%.

These companies join a growing list of US utility companies including Columbia Gas of Massachusetts, National Grid and Liberty Utilities who are all already offering incentives to customers who have committed to reducing their energy and water consumption through the use of the Xeros polymer bead cleaning system. Utility company customers include hotels, commercial and industrial laundries, dry cleaners, and fitness centres. The first incentive payment by a US utility company was to Sterling Linen Services in April 2014, where the Xeros polymer bead cleaning system delivered a 98% reduction in natural gas usage and 76% reduction in water usage.

The incentives are part of a program to promote various energy-saving cleaning technologies which award financial incentives under the Federal Energy Management Program's Energy Incentive Program after specific pre-determined energy savings milestones are met. Since the incentive programmes were first launched in early 2014, eight utility companies are now offering them to their customers and have offered, in total, over $275,000 in incentives for the Xeros polymer bead cleaning system.'

No share goes up in a straight line and XSG just needed to consolidate.

I think that has now happened and it is gaining strength again.

I see no reason why it shouldn't reach over and above the previous high.

Makes sense then sherylchan thanks.

The commercial machines are manufactured in China

[hazl] 09/2/2015 09:28

I was looking at a previous article in Physics today and it mentioned that Xeros may consider the Chinese market.

hi bamboo....thank you!
That sounds very positive indeed!

[bamboo2] 08/2/2015 23:16

Hi hazl, melf, GI, have today sorted out our intermittant internet access.
hazl thanks for the post on sha. Melf sorry to hear of your bereavement.

Could see 180+ on the chart this week if recent price action is seen as ascending triangle.

[hazl] 08/2/2015 11:13

I must say spoilt for choice with articles now....they appear

in such a range of disciplines;from laundry sites,cleaning, water -

conservation, engineering and innovation to physics!

Very good sign,in my opinion.

[hazl] 08/2/2015 11:10

Sorry to hear that melf.

[melf] 07/2/2015 16:24

Thanks for your posts hazl. Haven't posted for a while due to a family bereavement but back in the swing now.

'Less one think this is one of those interesting-yet-destined-for-obscurity inventions, take note: the washing machine is already in use by some big commercial companies, such as hotels and gyms that have high laundry loads. If all goes as planned, the technology will also be available to the average consumer in the next handful of years'

and From January article

'The Xeros system will save 90% of the fresh water associated with conventional laundry systems. If all US homes converted to the Xeros laundry system it would translate into 1.2 billion tonnes of water saved per year, equivalent to 17 million swimming pools. Xeros reduces carbon foot print as well. There is up to 40% saving if reduction in tumble drying is included because far less electricity and detergent is required than conventional systems. This calculation also includes the environment cost of the Xeros nylon beads which can be collected and recycled. The reduction in carbon footprint is equivalent to taking 5 million cars off American roads.'

This is an older article but I thought it was an interesting angle

[hazl] 06/2/2015 12:31

A piece in the Telegraph today about a laundry app for time-poor consumers.
Whilst its an interesting scheme I don't think it would in any way be in direct competition with Xeros.
Rather it is about a delivery service in my opinion.
As Xeros is more about the issues of water-reduction whilst still giving a superior wash Laundrapp deals with washing facilities and dry cleaning from what I can gather.
Interesting nonetheless.

An article about business leaders backing ambitious emissions reductions target in the FT out today

[hazl] 05/2/2015 09:07

Perhaps most relevant..from link
above

'Continued degradation of the environment will lead to lower food security, scarcer water, poorer human health and weaker economies, with risks concentrated in cities. It also pointed out that resilience plays an important role in mitigating the effects of climate change, but reducing carbon emissions should be treated as essential.'

'
Water scarcity problems are imminent due to the effects of climate change, but the world is not fully aware of their repercussions.

Speaking at a conference, Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that conflict will be unavoidable if the world continues to act harshly toward the environment.

A report from the IPCC predicted that by the end of the 21st century global temperature will have risen up to 8.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Global warming causes more severe weather events, leading to droughts that will affect agricultural productivity and food security.

Pachauri explained that agricultural activity will be highly affected when water becomes scarce because it requires a lot of water to carry out.'

' In May 2014, the Group at the Edison Awards 2014 in San Francisco won Bronze in the Energy/Sustainability category for its virtually waterless commercial laundry system and, on the same evening, the Group was named University Spin-Out of the Year at the New Energy & Cleantech Awards 2014 in London.'

'The Xeros patent portfolio comprises 36 patent families 'pending' and 'granted', which cover bead cleaning and bead treatment technology in applications from commercial and domestic laundry through to leather and wool processing, as well as metal surface cleaning. '

Wonder when we will hear more about this?

Investec over 26.9% rns by the looks of it.
