There may have been a conversation between Zen and Ballard that went like this............You do the science, test it against your current synthetic graphite, allow us to publish the results and we'll help you get some government funding and ensure you get first shot in the fuel cell category if it qualifies.

Hello Canseco.. and the larger Zen Long Group I have not posted in some time however I am still very much long and believe in the long term story more than ever before. Canseco asked a very cogent question earlier today and while I do not have a definitive answer I do believe we can look at the information available to us and at least make some educated moves forward. Going back to the summer I urge fellow board members to look up a post by Glorieux that linked to a research paper from the South African team studying PBNR. Specifically that paper discussed TGA testing and analysis of various graphite configurations. Juxtapose that paper with all of the information we have from Ballard and most importantly Dr. Chahar's AGM presentation. What is clear from the NRs and the graphs is that Zen has excellent performance during TGA. Furthermore Ballard is on record saying that our corrosion resistance is also very good. These facts are important because while Ballard primarily makes fuel cells that are somewhat smaller. Do look on the Ballard site, do some google searches and look through the Zen material. Specifically look for: Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. These are very large FCs.. usually 1MW +. They operate at very high temperatures >750C and are best suited to large stationary applications and they tend to have a high efficiency rating. The primary drawbacks are internal corrosion and the heat thereby leading to downtime and maintenance/costs. We know from other information that Zen flows better than standard synthetic benchmarks and is very good from a machine/tooling standpoint. Could it be that the conjunction of the high thermal stability, high corrosion resistance and the ease of manufacturing could allow Ballard to produce a new line of very large SOFC that drastically reduce the amount of downtime needed for current models? If so ... what kind of impact would that make in the emerging "Green Tech Sector?" Especially when throughout the developed world and the developing world we will need the lowest carbon footprint possible for sustainable energy? In closing Zen is not an easy stock. Recent market swings aside there is a great deal to learn about and read if one wants the long term story. I urge all board members to read the material thoroughly because it will help you spot the skillfully covered lies/disinformation from other nefarious sources. Lastly I do want to add two small bits. 1) I am stating here that should Zen require further significant funds to move to production that the BOD consider VERY strongly using a broad convertible debenture vehicle. 2) Zen Management: while we appreciate your NR today.. there needs to be a deeper more consistent approach with communication. Let the past 4 months be the FINAL lesson in this regard. Zen still to Twen! + Mongo
