Ceramic Fuel Cells (ASX: CFU) partners with H.C. Starck to secure volume
supply of fuel cell components Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited has signed agreements with H.C. Starck of Germany to secure a high volume supply of fuel cell components. - 29 January 2008 - Under a co-operation agreement, CFCL and HC Starck will collaborate to develop advanced SOFC components, in particular anode supported cells. CFCL is prepared to license its relevant IP in order to optimize the performance of the cell. H.C. Starck will collaborate to continually improve manufacturing processes and reduce unit costs. Under a supply agreement, H.C. Starck will supply fuel cells at agreed prices until December 2011, securing long term costs for CFCL. Supply of the fuel cells is expected to commence in mid 2008, with further increases in forecast volumes, and reductions in unit prices, from 2009. H.C. Starck has recently commissioned two lines for manufacturing solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), specifically for Anode Supported Cells and for Electrolyte Supported Cells, with an annual capacity of about 700,000 cells each. The SOFC manufacturing lines are located at its subsidiary company H.C. Starck Ceramics in Selb, Germany. H.C. Starck’s world class manufacturing facility is dedicated and fully equipped to produce high quality anode supported fuel cells in accordance with CFCL’s rigorous specifications. H.C. Starck’s manufacturing processes are certified to ISO standards 9001 and 14000. As part of CFCL’s commercialisation strategy the partnership will combine CFCL’s and H.C. Starck’s expertise in SOFC as well as H.C. Starck’s manufacturing capabilities, securing the supply chain for mass manufacture of high quality cells at commercially viable unit costs. CFCL will continue to produce fuel cells at its Melbourne R&D and pilot manufacturing facility, leveraging its 15 years of development expertise to drive continued improvements in cell performance. This cooperation is non-exclusive for both parties. CFCL is reviewing similar opportunities with other suppliers throughout Europe.

Fuel Cells (ASX: CFU) and Paloma Industries to collaborate on fuel cell
CHP products for Japan Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited ("CFCL"), a global leader in fuel cell development, has signed an agreement with Paloma Industries Ltd of Japan to evaluate and develop integrated fuel cell micro-combined heat and power (m-CHP) products for the Japanese market. Japan represents a key market for CFCL. The Japanese Government is providing strong support for fuel cells and has set targets of generating 2.2GW of power from stationary fuel cell units - equal to 2.2 million 1kW units, by 2010. The Japanese government currently provides a subsidy of up to 3.5 million JPY (21,700 Euros) per unit. Japan is also a large market for home heating appliances, with approximately 4.2 million sold per year. To read more, visit Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited January 17, 2008

first Shipments to European partners Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited ("CFCL"), a global leader in fuel cell development, announces that it has shipped a NetGenPlusTM unit to the United Kingdom part of its agreement with E.On UK Ltd and Gledhill Water Storage Ltd to develop micro-combined heat and power (m-CHP) products for the British market. CFCL will next week ship a NetGenPlus unit to its appliance partner De Dietrich Thermique, part of the Remeha Group, as part of CFCL's agreements to develop commercial m-CHP products for the French and Benelux markets. These deliveries follow the December 2007 shipment of a NetGenPlus unit to CFCL’s German partners EWE and Bruns Heitztechnik, and complete the first shipment to appliance partners in all four major territories. The CFCL units are being integrated with the partners’ high efficiency boiler units to create m-CHP products for homes across these large markets, under formal product development agreements that CFCL has signed with the appliance partners and utility customers in each market - EWE in Germany, Gaz de France in France, E.On UK Ltd in the UK and Nuon in Holland. Combined, CFCL’s utility customers have more than 20 million customers across Europe. NetGenPlus is
CFCL’s next-generation m-CHP system designed to generate electricity and
provide hot water and central heating for homes and small businesses.
It is powered by CFCL' advanced metal-ceramic fuel cell stack, running
on widely available natural gas. The NetGenPlus unit can be easily connected
to existing gas and electricity networks. In November 2007, the NetGenPlus
unit was awarded CE approval, enabling the units to be deployed throughout
Europe. |

Completes Commissioning of UK Ceramic Powder Plant Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited has completed the commissioning of its high quality ceramic powder plant in Bromborough, Merseyside, UK. The plant has successfully produced yttria stabilised zirconia (YSZ), a highly engineered ceramic powder required in precise formulations and quantities for the manufacture of many types of solid oxide fuel cell. The new pilot plant at Bromborough has a current nominal capacity of 20 tonnes per annum. CFCL will use the powder produced at Bromborough to make its own fuel cells, and will look at upgrading the pilot plant to a commercial operation to make advanced powders for other applications. As CFCL gears up for commercialisation, the Company will also look to increase the capacity of the plant, to drive further cost savings and revenue opportunities. > More |

Ceramic Fuel Cells announces that it has been granted another European patent
for its innovative fuel c ell
designs. The
patent is for a fuel cell assembly design, combining ceramic fuel cells
and metal interconnect plates. The design allows the cells to ‘float’
between the metal plates. This approach is designed to reduce the stresses
on the fuel cells, thereby improving the performance and increasing the
lifetime of the fuel cell stack. Lowering the stresses on the fuel cells
also improves the ability of the fuel cell stack to be thermally cycled
(turned on and off many times). |
