Transcript/overview
Today we are looking at Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Stocks (NASDAQ: BLDP) (TSX: BLDP), (NASDAQ:
FCEL) (NASDAQ: PLUG)
Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) ( TSX:
BLDP) had no news out but the stock closed
at $8.30+0.49 (+6.27%) on over 3 million shares.
Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a leading
provider of hydrogen engines and fueling solutions enabling e-mobility, announced it had received
an order at the close of 2019 from a Fortune 100 customer for hydrogen fuel
cell deployments across their distribution network over the next two years.
This contract, valued at more than $172 million, is for Plug Power's GenDrive fuel
cell power, GenFuel hydrogen fuel, storage and dispensing infrastructure, and
GenCare aftermarket service and support.
The global total available market for material
handling is currently valued at $30 billion. Plug Power's turnkey hydrogen and
fuel cell solutions are attractive in high utilization environments, where they
have a distinct advantage as compared to batteries. Hydrogen fuel cells are
adopted to increase productivity, lower operational costs and reduce greenhouse
gas emissions. Plug Power customers have reported a 15% productivity increase,
and savings per year greater than $1 million in sites with approximately 200
forklift trucks.
The stock closed at $3.8200+0.5900 (+18.27%) on
over 38 million shares.
FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) a global
leader in delivering clean, innovative and affordable fuel cell solutions
provided an update on the development and successful launch of production stack
modules with extended life. As previously reported, the company transitioned
production from its five-year stack design to its seven-year stack design in
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. This transition followed an innovation
effort focusing on improving the stability of the core cell components as well
as improving overall stack and stack module designs. The seven year carbonate
fuel cell stack life improvement was achieved with less than 5% increase in the
cost of the stack module.
The stocks closed at $2.2200+0.1600 (+7.77%) on
over 34 million shares with a day’s high of $2.35.
Highlights included:
Production shifted from 5-year to 7-year life stack design in 2018, and
subsequent fleet performance is meeting expectations for the new design
Early prototype stacks with two-years of operation and production stacks
with more than one year of operation are trending according to seven-year life
expectations
40% increase in kWh output expected from each stack before module
refurbishment
40% decrease in effective cost expected per kWh output from longer-lived
stacks, significantly reducing operating costs
Leading the industry in stack life among high temperature fuel cell
suppliers
Looking at the sector, according to a recent report from Fortune
Business Insights; “The Automotive Fuel Cell Market will reach USD 17.24
Billion by 2026, Better Fuel Efficiency Properties of Vehicles will Help Boost
the Market.”
The report goes on to say, ”Key factors promoting
the Automotive Fuel Cell Market growth include better fuel efficiency, a
decline in fossil fuel dependency, quick refilling, no greenhouse gas emission
in the atmosphere. Besides this, the rise in demand for incorporating
alternative fuel cells in automobiles for keeping a check on the environment is
likely to help attract high Automotive Fuel Cell Market revenue in the
forthcoming years. Various countries are adopting the implementation of new
policies for promoting hydrogen-based automotive vehicles and this is further
anticipated to increase the market shares in the coming years.”
