Sustainability
In resetting the Company’s strategy and the execution of such strategy, sustainability remains a key focus for AFC Energy in delivering our suite of products.
As the Company grows and works with an increasing number of partners, we do so knowing that delivery of our strategy to enable the production of scaled, reliable supplies of clean hydrogen in an environmentally responsible way and having sustainability at the heart of what we do is essential to AFC Energy’s growth and success.
Unlocking the low carbon hydrogen market by delivering ammonia-based low carbon hydrogen production and hydrogen-to-power solutions at a commercially viable price point.
enabling our customers to decarbonise at a price that is commercially viable
AFC Energy’s market-leading decentralised ammonia cracker and fuel cell generator products are engineered to unlock the low carbon hydrogen market by meeting customers’ needs with
scalable, reliable supplies of low carbon hydrogen and power. AFC Energy is enabling customers to decarbonise at a price that is commercially viable and without reliance on government subsidies or incentives.
Sustainable Development Goals
We support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – delivering against 6 of the 17 UN SDGs.
3. Good health and wellbeing
Air pollution remains a significant health issue in many cities across the world, particularly amongst the young or vulnerable. The replacement of diesel generators with hydrogen fuel cells such as ours which produce no air pollutants at all, therefore has large potential to improve health.
7. Affordable and clean energy
Our fuel cell technologies produce zero emissions at the point of use, replacing their fossil fuel equivalent in use today. With increased production and availability of green hydrogen and its falling price (forecasted to half in price by 2030), we are playing our part in delivering affordable, clean energy.
8. Decent work and economic growth
We employ a diverse workforce with professional, technical, engineering, scientific and other highly specialised skills and experience. Our people join and stay with us because of the opportunity to work on innovation and sustainability.
9. Industry, innovation and infrastructure
We partner with industry to support the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors such as maritime, construction, rail and data centres. Those partnerships with industry are innovating technology for the future.
13. Climate action
The vision for a world without hydrocarbons often puts hydrogen centre stage. We are contributing to the global efforts to get to both net zero and real zero.
17. Partnerships for the goals
We have forged a number of international partnerships to accelerate the deployment of our zero emission fuel cell systems, as well as instituting a number of supply chain agreements to deliver them.
ESG materiality matrix
The evaluation of risks to the business and opportunities for improvement underpins AFC Energy’s long-term strategy of delivering a cleaner future. We performed our first materiality assessment with our stakeholders in 2022 to understand the risks and opportunities facing the business in the context of ESG. We continue to focus our efforts on the most material
items in our most recent ESG Materiality Matrix, which are fully integrated with our overall risk management procedures, receiving full oversight, leadership and support from the Board.
