Return to our energy and waste project experience."
Since 2005 they have been http://www.cfcl.com.au/Assets/Files/2005-06_CFCL_Annual_Report_1.pdf "The Company is building a plant in the United Kingdom to scale up this new process. The key strategic reason for the Company producing its own powder is to mitigate the supply chain risk for a very specific and critical material requirement. Secondary benefits are that we believe it allows the Company to produce fuel cells at a lower cost and potentially generate additional revenue."
"Fuel Cell Manufacturing Plant The Company’s small-scale manufacturing plant in Melbourne already has the capacity to manufacture fuel cells in a batch processing mode and to assemble fuel cell stacks. The Company is increasing production capacity from this plant to supply early stage demand from appliance manufacturers for prototype fuel cells and systems."
They have been producing stacks for years even at 312 a year they have enough in stock to supply orders!
Crikey Cottage Industry it isn't less venom please.
