| LONDON--Ceramic
Fuel Cells Ltd (CFCL), a manufacturer of solid oxide fuel cells, said it
will construct a plant in Europe to produce high quality ceramic powders,
which are a key component of solid oxide fuel cells, using its patented
technology.
The powder plant is scheduled to
be commissioned in the first quarter of 2007.
In a trading statement, CFCL said
it is 'now at an advanced stage of development, and is moving swiftly towards
commercialization'.
CFCL posted a negative cash flow
of 4.4 mln aud during its September quarter.
In a separate release, the company
said it has been granted another patent for the use of aluminium-iron alloys
for fuel cell system components by the European Patent Office.
The alloys, which are highly corrosion
resistant and inexpensive to produce, will allow CFCL to continue to reduce
the cost of commercial appliances using solid oxide fuel cells, it said.
Patents have also been granted for
this invention in Australia and South Africa and are pending in other countries,
the company added.
