Business management and innovations

John Wilson, CEO of AFC Energy, brings extensive experience in leading technology-driven companies. He was previously CEO of Bulgin, where he led a private equity-backed management buyout (MBO) and executed a successful sale. Previously, Wilson led Elektron Technology Plc for almost a decade, where he significantly increased shareholder value through strategic growth initiatives. His early career includes roles in engineering and technology consulting and is characterized by the commercialization of complex technologies in the UK and North America.

Wilson will be supported by Karl Bostock, CFO of AFC Energy, who has over 15 years of experience in the manufacturing industry. Bostock previously held positions at Bulgin Limited and Coveris UK, where he also focused on shareholder value initiatives. These leaders face the challenge of achieving company goals in the face of current market movements characterized by declining stock prices and reduced tradable volumes.

Energy innovations from AFC Energy

AFC Energy recently delivered the first high-performance generator that produces hydrogen with an energy consumption of 10 kW per kg. This innovative product is considered an energy harvester. In addition, the company is working on another system, an electrolyzer module, with the aim of enabling 36 kW per kg of hydrogen. However, in contrast to the high-performance generator, this system is described as an energy loser. It should be noted that 1 kg of hydrogen contains 33.33 kWh of usable energy, making it an interesting and sustainable energy source.

The current developments and challenges facing AFC Energy, both in terms of its share price and its innovative strength, have an overarching impact on the company's market and trading strategy. Financial uncertainty and competition in the energy sector are increasing the pressure on company management to make future-proof decisions.
