Bei den 4,6§ isses ja nicht ganz geblieben. Aber ich fand auch, dass das Minus gestern recht moderat war. Die angesprochenen Gewinnmitnahmen eben...
Um die 4,5€ aber nachhaltig zu überschreiten, werden die News nicht reichen, da muss dann nach und nach Weiteres kommen... Ansonsten bröckelt der Kurs wohl eher wieder ab.

[MoniDjango]

Moin,meint ihr das wir die 3,75€ wie am Dienstag,bis Ende next Woche wieder sehen werden?

Man braucht wohl weiterhin viel Geduld.

Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Nasdaq: ALTI) 3.4% LOWER; Merriman Curhan Ford downgrades Altair Nanotechnologies from Buy to Neutral.

[toller]

Merriman Curhan Ford sieht das ganze schon sehr konservativ. Alti hat einfach in letzter Zeit viel Vertrauen verbraucht.

Ich mach mir trotz des Merriman CF keine Sorgen, klar ich hätte mehr verkaufen können und jetzt wieder rein. aber es gibt auch andere Stimmen, poste das gleich.



• Phoenix’s EV manufacturing ramp postponed. Phoenix Motorcars has delayed its electric vehicle manufacturing
ramp as it waits for the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to establish a vehicle charging interface standard
commonly referred to as the “J1772 Standard”. Phoenix’s current plans include shipping a minimum of 300 electric
vehicles next year beginning in March of 2008.
• New EV opportunity developing for Altair’s battery. Micro-Vett, SPA plans to convert the Fiat Doblo to an allelectric
vehicle using Altair’s 18 Kwh battery pack. The vehicles will be distributed through Go Green Holdings into
Norway’s commercial fleet market beginning in early 2008.
• New stationary power application announced. Altair announced the potential congressional funding of a
development project to deploy battery technology in a 2.5 MW stationary power supply for the U.S. Navy which aims
to replace diesel fuel powered generators on large Navy vessels.
• We are downgrading Altair shares to Neutral from Buy. We are downgrading the stock and cutting our estimates
to reflect Phoenix Motorcars’ delayed manufacturing ramp. In addition, given the uncertainty related to the SAE finding
common ground on the J1772 standard in the near-term, we believe further delays in Phoenix’s roll-out are likely.

Think Equity Partners von gestern (der im vergleich zu Merriman CF recht optimistisch ist):


Altair Nanotechnologies
Buy Price Target: $6.00

The announcement that Norway-based Go Green expects to utilize Altair's
nanotechnology-enabled battery in electric vehicles validates our positive view
on the progress Altair is making in energy storage applications.
In our opinion, Altair is making solid progress on multiple fronts, including
Energy Storage, Pigment technology for paints and coatings, and in Life
Sciences. We reiterate our Buy rating and $6 price target.
KEY POINTS:
• The Go Green announcement that it expects to ship Micro-Vett electric
vehicles supports our positive view on Altair's nano-battery technology. Some
have alluded to Altair's nano-battery as the "holy grail" for electric vehicle
application given the 10+ year life cycle and 10-minute recharge time.
• There are 30 days left in the 60-day demonstration period. The Micro-Vett is
similar to a small delivery truck and is based on a Fiat frame. While orders
from Go Green have not been finalized yet, we believe Go Green has the
financial resources to purchase the nano-battery packs from Altair which will
enable it to ship up to 20 Micro-Vetts this year and a planned 250 vehicles in
2008.
• We note Go Green is established in the Scandinavian markets and would not
be surprised if Altair's nano-batteries began penetrating countries like
Sweden and Denmark.
• The Micro-Vett battery packs are 18 kW-hour packs compared with the 35
kW-hour packs used in the Phoenix all-electric vehicles. We estimate the
ASP for these smaller packs would be about $35-$40K per nano-battery pack
(compared with about $60K for those used in the Phoenix electric vehicle).
• We maintain our estimates. We reiterate our Buy rating and $6 price target,
which reflects a 10x EV/S multiple on 2008 revenues of $40.4 million.

Evonik beteiligt sich mit 20% an Batterieunternehmen Li-Tec

DÜSSELDORF (Dow Jones)--Die Evonik AG beteiligt sich mit 20% an dem Batteriekomponenten-Hersteller Li-Tec in Kamenz bei Dresden. Das Essener Unternehmen teilte am Freitag mit weiter, damit werde das Engagement in der Lithium-Ionen-Technologie ausgebaut. Bisher habe Evonik 50 Mio EUR in die Entwicklung und Vermarktung von Batteriekomponenten sowie in den Aufbau von Pilot- und Produktionsanlagen investiert. Mit der Beteiligung an Li-Tec starte das Unternehmen nun die Massenproduktion von Batteriekomponenten.

Finanzielle Details zu der Beteiligung nannte Evonik nicht. Der Markt für Lithium-Ionen-Batteriematerialien werde bis 2015 voraussichtlich auf 4 Mrd von derzeit 1,4 Mrd EUR anwachsen, erklärte Evonik-Vorstandsmitglied Alfred Oberholz. Der Markt für diese Batterien selbst solle im nächsten Jahrzehnt über 10 Mrd EUR umfassen. Sie können unter anderem in Hybridantrieben von Fahrzeugen eingesetzt werden.

Is Altair Nanotechnologies About to Become a Hot Stock in a Hot Sector? (Lithium-ion Car Batteries)
Editor’s Note: In keeping with EnergyTechStocks.com’s mission to be solely a news source, this article is presented for information purposes only.

Posted: October 16, 2007

When Michael Millikin, head of the authoritative alternative energy web site Green Car Congress, recently graded nine lithium-ion car battery developers in a series that appeared exclusively on EnergyTechStocks.com, he gave Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. only a B+. The grade reflected that while the company’s technical performance has been very good, it has only recently started developing the commercial relationships it will need to be a major player in the coming market for plug-in hybrid vehicles. (See Nine Key Lithium-ion Battery Developers Get Their First Report Card Grades (Part 1 of 3)



Last week Altair made an announcement which, when investors look back six months or a year from now, may turn out to have been critical to the company’s development of those commercial relationships. In a press release (see biz.yahoo.com) Altair said it had successfully demonstrated an all-electric delivery vehicle for Norwegian government officials and for Go Green Holdings, a Norwegian company whose goal is to bring electric vehicles to the Scandinavian market.

The announcement gave Altair’s stock price a quick charge, which was followed by a quick downgrade by an investment firm that follows alternative energy, pushing Altair’s stock price back down. Still, when it comes to alternative energy technology, it’s often impossible for investors to know what news is really important until long after it’s no longer considered news.

Altair’s announcement falls into that category. What is clear is that at least some developers of the lithium-ion batteries that will go into plug-in vehicles should do tremendously well over the long run as major car manufacturers such as General Motors and Toyota increasingly commit to plug-ins in an effort to appeal to environmentally-conscious consumers.

As of today, probably the battery developer with the best buzz is A123 Systems, which is working with GM. But A123 is privately held. Toyota is using in-house technology, so there’s really no stock play there. Will Altair’s Norwegian deal, assuming one materializes, give it the same buzz as A123?

Again, it’s impossible to know. Altair already has a relationship with Phoenix Motorcars, but Phoenix is a newcomer, not a global heavyweight. However, with probably every major auto manufacturer likely to take the plunge into plug-ins over the next few years, Altair would appear to have a chance to hit it big. Investors might want to keep an eye on how things develop in Norway. It could be Altair’s gateway to the big time.

kann nur vermuten was der Grund ist:

in USA steht die Entscheidung über die Enrgy Bill an, die u.a. auch eine Verlängerung von Steuervergünstigungen für Clean-Tech, Energy saving etc. zum Gegenstand haben wird.:

aus einem Report:

....
Our analysis suggests that the core of final agreement will probably include a four- or five-year extension of
Section 45 production tax credits..... These $0.02/kWh credits best complement fuels with generation costs at, or closest to,
conventional sources, supporting market optimism for geothermal names, wind suppliers and wind makers ....Also
beloved by all three of Washington’s power centers: gas/electric and plug-in hybrids, with new tax credits for both likely
to benefit battery makers like Johnson Controls (JCI) and Altair (ALTI).

ja, der anstieg heute und gestern ist schon verwunderlich. normalerweise hat alti in der vergangenheit nach einem großen Kursanstieg erst mal über ne ganz schön lange zeit immer wieder federn lassen müssen. das war auch der grund weshalb ich erstmal einige gewinne meines Nachkaufs im Juni rausgenommen habe. da sind meiner meinung nach in US ne menge zocker drin und der Kurs geht immer schnell wieder runter. Diesmal anders....vielleicht kehrt jetzt endlich das Vertrauen ein, dass man brauch, um bei einer solchen Situation weiter Anleger anuziehen. denn letztlich sind die Umsätze nicht so sonderlich hoch ....was aber der vorteil der Fiat Duplo Test-geschichte ist: Alti ist auf dem europ. Kontinent angelangt (neben dem Lightning GT Prototypen) und vor allem die zusätzlichen 250 orders für die Battery Packs können zu ner deutlichen Senkung der durchschnittskosten für die Packs fürhen, was wiederum die Attraktivität steigert.

Hallo Weltklasse,

ich muss dir zustimmen, was die Entwicklung des Aktienkurses der Altair angeht. Ein erneuter Krusausbruch dieser Aktie ist gerade am brodeln. Ich denke dass es innerhalb einer Woche soweit sein wird, maximal 2 Wochen, je nach allgemeiner Marktlage. Die Aktie müsste demnach die 5 USD Marke überspringen und sollte danach schnell die 10 USD Marke erreichen.Es solltedann eine neue Dreieckformation gebildet werden und Kräfte gesammelt werden bis auch die 10 USD Marke übersprungen werden soll. Dies kann 12 bis 18 Monate Zeit in Anspruch nehmen. Für die Altair Aktie spricht sowohl der Chart ( wie aus einem Lehrbuch bezüglich wiederkehrende Muster und Regelmässigkeit) sowie
(die ist mir fast wichtiger), die sehr guten Fundamentalwerte und vielmehr noch die hervorragende Nachrichten der letzten Wochen. Alles spricht insgesamt für den Ausbruch, der durch die hohen Ölpreise unterstüzt wird und auch sonst von den bemerkenswerten Fortschritten bei den von Alair entwickelten Produkte, die für die Automobiltechnik der nächsten Jahrzehnte (Electric)neue Referenzen setzen.

Ich besitze bereits Altair Aktien und stocke gerade auf.

Gruß und viel Erfolg

ich bin ja auch bullish für Alti (sonst hätte ich die nicht seit Jahren im portfolio behalten). aber so ganz rosig ist nicht alles,

10$?? dann wäre ALTI 670 Mio Dollar wert bei vielleicht 500 units Phönix und wenn klappt 250 von der Norwegen Comp (mit dem fiat duplo).

da muss aber noch ein bischen was kommen an umsätzen. aber kann ja sein, das ganze Thema gewinnt aktuell dermassen an fahrt, unglaublich.

Kein wunder, bei der Marktkapitalisierung muss schon was kommen um dem Kurs auftrieb zu geben.

teuer. glaub so um die 55-65 tsd $ der große und der kleinere (z.B. in dem Fiat Duplo) kann um 10-15 Tsd billiger produziert werden.

Durchschnittlich ist man aktuell bei 2$ pro kw/h. je mehr Battery packs prduziert werden um so günstiger....Ziel ist es durch steigerung der Produktion in 2008 auf 0,5$ pro kj/h zu kommen

Phoenix has been working on their Gen II vehicle which will be rolled out in the first quarter of 2008. They are incorporating significant cost reductions and vehicle efficiencies and in doing so have developed a proprietary electric motor for their vehicle. This has no impact on ALTI and their relationship with either Phoenix or UQM.
Best regards,
Marty

ok so far so good, der uqm kurs brach heute natürlich ein...

nun zu den gerüchten die sich aufbauen:

- da phoenix wohl bereits mit ssangyong (kennt ihr vielleicht, die haben ein SUV, sieht aus wie ne mischung aus M-Klasse und Tuareg, ich finds gut) zusammengearbeitet hat beim Aufbau und einigen Komponenten, geht man davon aus, dass die Kooperation vertieft werden könnte und man zukünftig in Korea die Phoenix Karren fertigen lässt. da steht noch ne menge mehr kram, ich hatte keine zeit alles zu scrollen.

weiss nicht was ich davon halten soll, passt natürlich zu den cost reductions etc. man fragt sich natürlich, wozu braucht ssangyong dann phoenix, wenn dem so wäre?

naja pure spekulation. die GE geschichte wird auch nochmal durchgekaut, halte ich aber für völlig daneben.

von Think equity ist jedenfalls ein Update rausgekommen, immer noch Target 6$, conference call soll ganz toll werden, positive surprise expected (wahrscheinlich bzgl. Outlook 2008, denn für 2007 kann ich mir bei den zahlen eigentlich keinen positiven surprise vorstellen;-))

anyway, jetzt gilts erstmal den Dow Absturz von heute zu verdauen, dass kann dauern und üblicherweise leidet da alti auch ganz gut, da nach dem anstieg bestimmt einige aussteigen.

good luck...all

Zwar alt aber vielleicht ganz interessant.

Dass die Miniaturisierung ein nicht mehr aufzuhaltender Trend ist, haben wir in den vergangenen Jahren schon im Hightech-Bereich gesehen. Egal ob es um Handys, Digitalkameras oder Computer geht - kleiner und leistungsfähiger müssen Nachfolgemodelle heute sein.
Logisch also, dass eine Wissenschaft, die sich ganz auf die "Kleinheit" konzentriert, ungeahnte Möglichkeiten für die Zukunft bietet. Und im Fall der Nanotechnologie gibt es Anwendungen, die bereits im Masseneinsatz sind. So in der Oberflächebeschichtung - zum Beispiel für schmutzabweisende Materialien.

ALTAIR NANOTECHNOLOGIES NAMES TERRY COPELAND VICE PRESIDENT, OPERATIONS, POWER & ENERGY GROUP
RENO, NV -- November 7, 2007 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Nasdaq: ALTI), a leading provider of advanced nanomaterials technology for use in energy life sciences and industrial applications, today announced that Terry Copeland, Ph.D., has joined the company as Vice President, Operations for Altairnano's Power & Energy Group. Dr. Copeland will lead global operations and supply chain management for Altairnano's lithium titanate battery products.
"We are pleased to announce Terry's position at Altairnano. He brings strong technical expertise and business acumen, complemented by 25 years of experience in corporate America, including the DuPont Company and Duracell, now a subsidiary of P&G," said Alan J. Gotcher Ph.D., President and CEO of Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. "Terry has a proven track record in building operations, and has actively led improvements in large and small businesses. I am confident his experience and leadership will help continue the growing commercial acceptance of our unique power and energy storage technology."
Prior to joining Altair Nanotechnologies, Dr. Copeland operated T. M. Copeland Associates, an engineering, technology and operations consulting firm.
Dr. Copeland began his professional career with the DuPont Company, beginning in Research and Development, where he was granted three patents based on his first two years of work. His tenure with DuPont led to responsibilities in international marketing and manufacturing, culminating as Manufacturing Manager with responsibility for the output of several plants in North America.

In 1992, he joined Duracell as Director of Engineering for North America. In addition to expanding the engineering organization, he was responsible for the program leading to the development of Duracell's on-cell battery tester. It was during this effort that Dr. Copeland first worked with Dr. Gotcher, then the Chief Technology Officer of Avery Dennison. He was asked to take over the ailing manufacturing facility in Lexington, NC, and was credited with turning around that operation in a short period of time. Dr. Copeland went on to lead Duracell's largest plant in North America, with 1000 employees, in Lancaster, SC. When Gillette purchased the company, Dr. Copeland moved to Boston as the company's Director of Product Development.

In 2000, Dr. Copeland joined Millennium Cell, Inc., a development stage company in the hydrogen fuels arena as Vice President for Product Development and quickly expanded his role to include Research and Development.
"I am delighted to be working once again with Alan Gotcher, for whom I have great respect. The technology of Altairnano is remarkable, and will change the perception of what is possible in rechargeable battery power," said Dr. Copeland.
Dr. Terry Copeland graduated from the University of Delaware in 1973, with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. He followed that with a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1978, with a minor in law.

Altair Nanotechnologies Reports Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results

RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI) today reported financial results for its third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

For the quarter, the company reported a substantial increase in revenues to a record $3.37 million, up from $0.75 million for the comparable period in 2006. The net loss was $6.13 million, or 9 cents per share, compared to a net loss of $4.05 million, or 7 cents per share, for the third quarter of 2006. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter were 70,023,935 compared to 59,461,244 for the same period a year ago.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the company reported record revenues of $7.58 million, a $5.23 million increase from $2.35 million for the comparable period in 2006. Operating expenses increased to $9.62 million from $4.91 million in the comparable period of 2006. The net loss was $17.89 million, or 24 cents per share, compared to a net loss of $12.80 million, or 21 cents per share, for the comparable period in 2006. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were 69,741,148 compared to 59,325,488 for the same period a year ago.

The rise in operating expenses in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the comparable period in 2006 is primarily associated with increased efforts in research and development associated with the expansion of the company’s Power and Energy Systems business. General and administrative costs increased primarily due to employee benefit and stock option compensation increases as a result of growth in the number of Altairnano employees.

As of September 30, 2007, Altairnano’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $14.76 million. Long-term debt is $1.20 million at September 30, 2007, which represents the remaining mortgage obligation used to purchase the company’s facilities in Reno, NV.

“Altairnano’s cutting-edge, nanomaterials-based products continue to gain commercial acceptance in our target markets: power and energy storage, performance materials and life science,” said Alan J. Gotcher, Ph.D., Altairnano’s president and chief executive officer. “The commercial acceptance is illustrated by our ongoing revenue growth, and the progress made with key partners. Phoenix Motorcars continues to be one of our key partners, and has placed firm purchase orders, through September, for $3.25 million for Altairnano battery packs. We are committed to providing current and future partners with unique, high-performance products to address unmet market needs.”

Recent Highlights

* A purchase and joint-development agreement with a division of the AES Corporation, AES Power Storage LLC. Together, the companies are developing a suite of energy storage product solutions to help AES better manage demands on the electrical grid. On August 3, 2007, AES placed a $1 million purchase order for a 2.0 megawatt-hour energy storage product, expected to ship by the end of the fourth quarter of 2007.
* Congressional support for the funding of two key Altairnano projects, including the development of a 2.4-megawatt stationary power supply for the U.S. Navy to replace diesel fuel powered generators on the Navy’s largest ships.
* A successful public demonstration of the medium-duty All-Electric Fiat Doblo to government officials and potential customers in Oslo, Norway. On October 2, half-way through an ongoing 60-day demonstration, the vehicle, powered by a custom 18 kWh Altairnano battery pack, traveled 300 kilometers (186 miles) in an urban delivery circuit. The custom battery pack was fully recharged in less than ten minutes a total of three times. The vehicle is a joint-development effort by Altairnano, AeroVironment, Inc., Micro-Vett, SPA and Go Green Holding AS.
* Phoenix Motorcars (PMI) has announced plans to move to a “Gen 2” vehicle design, the goal being to reduce vehicle costs, begin production and shipping of its all electric vehicles next quarter, the first quarter of 2008. Altairnano continues to be encouraged that PMI will close its financing round this quarter. However, it is possible that projected minimum 2007 orders of $16 million required to maintain PMI’s exclusivity rights in the United States for Altairnano’s lithium titanate battery technology may not be achieved, which will result in the loss of those rights.

Gute News, Alti kooperiert mit der Navy!

Altair Nanotechnologies Announces $7 Million in Federal Funding for Eco-Friendly Battery and Sensor Programs
Wednesday November 14, 10:45 am ET


RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Nasdaq: ALTI - News) announced today that the recently passed Defense Appropriations Bill signed into law by President Bush on November 12, 2007, provides for $7 million in federal funding related to two of its ongoing advanced research and development projects. This confirms funding, which was prospectively discussed by the company on October 4, 2007.
ADVERTISEMENT


The first project, which is to receive $5 million, is directed toward a continuing project with the U.S. Navy involving the production of a 2.5-megawatt stationary power supply. The objective of the power supply project is to reduce the Navy's dependence on diesel fuel. Currently, each Navy ship must run two diesel generators in parallel to ensure power is not lost should the primary generator go down. Altairnano's advanced lithium titanate energy storage pack could replace the back-up generator, allowing the Navy to reduce its consumption of fuel by millions of gallons each year.

The development of a sensor that can detect minute amounts of explosive materials and chemical warfare agents is the focus of the second project, which is a previously announced collaboration with Western Michigan University. The $2 million in funding will allow Altairnano to increase the sensitivity of its nanotechnology platform, with the goal of bringing a handheld sensor to the military in the near term.

"We firmly believe that our technology can reduce the Navy's dependence on imported oil and provide protection for our soldiers on the battlefield," said Alan J. Gotcher, Ph.D., Altairnano's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We thank Congress and President Bush for funding the two projects and for recognizing that emerging companies have an important role to play in strengthening our nation."

Cold Stocks You're Selling Now
By Tim Beyers December 3, 2007

4 Recommendations

Welcome back to another Foolish review of the coldest stocks as ranked by Motley Fool CAPS. We're looking at the three worst-performing industries over the past 30 days and your favorite short and long candidates in each.

Last week and the week prior, subprime lenders were to investors as Ebenezer Scrooge would be to an Up With People concert: nasty and out of place. But they refuse to leave the party. Delta Financial (NYSE: DFC) and its peers are, as a group, down 25.3% since early November.

In second place, we have a new entrant: battery makers. Altair Nanotechnologies (Nasdaq: ALTI) and its peers have done little to charge investors' portfolios. Stocks in this sector are off 23.3% on average over the past month.

Marine stocks, meanwhile, remain stuck in third. Still wet and shivering, these seafarers have, as a group, fallen 22.2% over the last month.

According to you, our Foolish readers, the worst stocks in these industries to own now --i.e., those rated one or two out of a maximum five stars in CAPS -- are:

wär hätte gedacht, das alti die dilution und den niedrigen PP-Preis (3,5$) so leichtfertig verdaut? ich war letzte woche ein wenig enttäuscht als ich in der aktuellen Technology Review in einem Artikel über Elektroautos nur etwas von einer Norwegischen Company gelesen habe, die momentan die alten Zebra Batterien testet und ansonsten lieferabkommen mit A123 und noch zwei anderen, darunter nicht ALTI, abgeschlossen hat. Immerhin, der Lightning GT war abgebildet in einer Vorstellungsrunde von E-Autos, 700PS, etc. , aber keine nennung der Batterie.

nun ja, mal sehen was ALTI und Phönix aus dem Geld machen, und wann die gemeinsame Fabrik mit VW in Mexico (war das da?) gebaut wird....

Phoenix Motorcars gets a refill for the petty cash box
Posted Dec 6th 2007 3:35PM by Sam Abuelsamid
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Phoenix


There's some interesting financial activity going these days in the electric vehicle realm and it wouldn't be surprising to see some consolidation happen soon. In the past year Phoenix Motorcars and Zap have trailed only the Tesla Roadster and Chevy Volt in attention for battery-propelled vehicles. Unfortunately for both companies (and Tesla) revenues have not been in proportion to press coverage and as we all know building a complete vehicle is not a trivial challenge.

Phoenix has just topped up their bank account with $40 million courtesy of Dubai investor Al Yousuf. Only days earlier, Al Yousuf invested a similar quantity in Altairnano Technologies, the battery supplier to Phoenix and prior to that injected $5 million in Zap. We'll be watching the action here, but it's interesting to see a Middle Eastern Investor buying up chunks of electric vehicle and battery startups.

DJ US-Senat verschärft Richtlinien für Energieeffizienz von Autos

WASHINGTON (AP)--Der US-Senat hat mit großer Mehrheit ein Energiegesetz verabschiedet, das zum ersten Mal seit 32 Jahren die Richtlinien für den Benzinverbrauch von Autos verschärft. Die Automobilhersteller müssen dem Gesetz zufolge in den nächsten drei Jahren den Durchschnittsverbrauch ihrer Fahrzeuge auf umgerechnet etwa 6,7 Liter auf 100 Kilometer senken.

Die neue Richtlinie bedeute für das Jahr 2020 eine Ersparnis von 1,1 Mio Barrel Rohöl, sagte der demokratische Senator Daniel Inouye. Das entspreche etwa der Hälfte der Menge, die aus der Golfregion importiert werde. Dabei könnten die Emissionen von Treibhausgasen um jährlich 200 Mio Tonnen reduziert werden. "Dies zeigt der Welt, dass Amerika im Kampf gegen die globale Erwärmung vorangeht", sagte der Senator. Das Energiegesetz sieht zugleich den verstärkten Einsatz der Benzinalternative Ethanol vor: Der Ethanolverbrauch in den USA soll bis 2022 auf 136 Mrd Liter im Jahr versechsfacht werden.

Der Senat billigte die Vorlage mit 86 zu 8 Stimmen. Auch die meisten Republikaner stimmten dem Gesetz zu, nachdem die Demokraten auf die zunächst vorgesehene höhere Besteuerung der großen Ölkonzerne verzichtet hatten. Die Vorlage geht nun zur Abstimmung ins Repräsentantenhaus. Das Weiße Haus kündigte an, dass Präsident George W. Bush das Gesetz mit seiner Unterschrift in Kraft setzen werde. Zuvor hatte er für den Fall der zusätzlichen Besteuerung der Ölindustrie noch mit seinem Veto gedroht.

Electric-Powered Dragster Sets New World Speed Record
Monday December 17, 8:00 am ET
Altairnano Batteries Power Electric Vehicle to National Hot Rod Association World Speed Record for Electric Dragsters: Quarter Mile in 8.10 Seconds at 153.6 mph

TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI - News), a leading manufacturer of safe, high-performance lithium-titanate battery pack products and energy storage products announced today that Dennis “Kilowatt” Berube has set the National Hot Rod Association’s (NHRA) Super Pro class world speed record for electric dragsters driving an electric vehicle powered by Altairnano battery packs.

ADVERTISEMENT
Powered by Altairnano’s lithium-titanate battery packs, Berube's electric dragster, named the Current Eliminator V, accelerated to a speed of 153.6 mph at the Speedworld Motorplex drag strip on Saturday, December 15, covering a quarter-mile in 8.10 seconds, setting a new electric dragster world speed record. Dennis Berube started his first day at the track with the Altairnano battery pack and with limited time, on a single day, ran times of 10.04, 8.84, 8.40, 8.23 and finally a 8.10 second run - Very significant improvement with three of these times breaking his old record of 8.801 seconds.

“We are truly thrilled for Dennis,” said Dr. Alan Gotcher, President and CEO of Altair Nanotechnologies. “Not only is it a great milestone for Dennis, but it is a great milestone for the alternative energy transportation industry,” Dr. Gotcher continued. “People think of electric vehicles as golf carts, but as Dennis’s new world record shows, electric vehicles are extremely powerful and capable of impressive speeds.”

In 2006, Berube’s Current Eliminator IV, the predecessor vehicle his Current Eliminator V, earned more prize money than any other dragster in Arizona. In the NHRA’s Super Pro class, Berube successfully competes against conventional gasoline and alcohol dragsters.

A founding competitor of the National Electric Drag Racing Association (NEDRA), Berube holds several records for his speed and racing accomplishments.

Top Pick: Nano-Batterien für SUVs

21.12.2007 - 12:59

In der neuesten Ausgabe seines „Forbes/Wolfe Emerging Tech Report“ analysiert US-Nanotech-Experte Josh Wolfe Altair Nanotechnologies (ISIN: CA0213731056), einen Hersteller von Batterien auf Nano-Basis, die auch als Energie-Quelle für Elektro-Autos dienen.
Wolfe erklärt dazu: „Elektro-Autos sind wieder ins Blickfeld der Industrie geraten, und die Aussichten sind besser als je zuvor. Der wichtigste Grund ist natürlich der rapide ansteigende Preis für Rohöl, der momentan bei über 90 Dollar pro Barrel liegt.
Das die Entwicklung von Elektro-Autos in den letzten Jahren etwas an Fahrt verloren hat, liegt im Wesentlichen an den Batterien. Allerdings gibt es Nanotechnologie-Unternehmen, die eine neue Generation von Batterien entwickeln und so endlich das Elektro-Auto vom Reißbrett auf unsere Straßen bringen könnten.
Altair Nanotechs bahnbrechende Erfolge in diesem Segment sind nicht unbemerkt geblieben. Diverse Unternehmen aus der Automobilbranche sind bereits auf die Firma aus Nevada aufmerksam geworden. Phoenix Motorcars aus Kalifornien stattet seine elektrisch angetriebenen SUVs mit den neuen Akkus aus. Phoenix bewertet den Markt für Fahrzeuge in Kalifornien allein auf 10 Milliarden Dollar pro Jahr.
Altair wiederum hat seine Ergebnisse für das zweite Quartal 2007 vorgelegt: Die Einnahmen gegenüber dem Vorjahr wurden verdreifacht, und zwar von 1,06 auf 3,07 Millionen Dollar. Der Nettoverlust lag in diesem Jahr bei 5,43 Millionen Dollar (entspricht 0,08 Dollar pro Aktie) im Vergleich zu 3,79 Millionen Dollar (0,06 Dollar pro Aktie) im Vorjahr. Wenn wir unsere heutigen Autos durch Elektro-Autos ersetzen, würden wir damit unseren Beitrag zum Klimawandel erheblich reduzieren. Ausgestattet mit neuer Nanotechnologie dürften Elektroautos in kürzester Zeit Marktreife erreicht haben.

Hallo,
Altair wird momentan sicher nicht am KGV gemessen. Die Technologie ist eine Schlüsseltechnologie für die Stabilisierung der Elektrizitätsversorgung. Windmühlen und PV Anlagen liefern nicht unbedingt zu Zeitpunkten an denen der Verbraucher die Energie auch abnehmen kann.

EVs werden langsam in betuchten Kreisen (z.B. Hollywood) sehr populär.

Altair Nanotechnologies: Big Potential for a Small Stock
posted on: December 27, 2007 | about stocks: ALTI
Print Email

Altair Nanotech (ALTI) is one of those low priced stocks that the big boys don't want to play with yet because it's under $5.00.

The potential for the stock is huge however. Just recently:

November 14: Altair announces $7 million in Federal Funding for an eco-friendly battery and sensor program. The first project is with the U.S Navy to reduce dependence on diesel fuel. Currently, each ship must run two generators in parallel to ensure no loss of power should one go dow. ALTI's advanced lithium titanate battery could replace the back-up generator and save millions of gallons of fuel.

The second project can detect minute amounts of explosive materials and chemical warfare agents. The goal is to bring a hand held sensor to the military.

November 19: Phoenix Motorcars signs a letter of intent to produce cars in Mexico for shipment in Mexico, other regions of Latin America and India. Phoenix's advanced battery-electric, zero emission sports utility truck can travel at highway speeds carrying 5 passengers and a full payload. It's equipped with an Altair NanoSafe lithium titanate battery which can be re-charged in 10 minutes.

December 17: Altair announces that Dennis Berube has set the National Hot Rod Association world speed record for electric dragsters powered by an Altair Nano battery pack. He covered the 1/4 mile in 8.10 seconds at 153 MPH.

ALTI currently trades between $4 - $5. Don't be surprised to hear that a major car company has reached an agreement with ALTI to supply batteries for its Hybrid or completely electric car.

DIW: Benzinpreis kann sich verdreifachen

Das DIW, das erst gestern einen Anstieg des Ölpreises auf 200 Dollar bis 2020 für wahrscheinlich erklärte, präsentiert bereits eine weitere Prognose – demnach droht in den kommenden zehn Jahren eine Verdreifachung des Benzinpreises. "Sollte sich der Ölpreis verdoppeln - was nicht unwahrscheinlich ist - und der Dollarkurs normalisieren, würde der Liter Super vier Euro kosten", sagte DIW-Energieexpertin Claudia Kemfert der "Bild"-Zeitung.

Hoffentlich gibt es bis dahin preiswerte Alternativen: Autarkie ist mein Traum: Solaranlage auf dem Dach, Batterie in der Garage, nachts Auto laden an der Batterie, die man tags mit Solarenergie gespeist hat. Keine Einspeisung ins öffentliche Stromnetz, sondern den selbst produzierten Strom selber verbrauchen.

[Schlaemmer_Horst]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 32.936.411 von uk0804 am 04.01.08 10:34:42

...solche Prognosen haben jetzt natürlich Hochkonjunktur, das war wirklich nicht anders zu erwarten.

Warum sollte es denn eigentlich so kommen? Hat der Ölpreis nicht schon seit etwa 3-4 Jahren den Substitutionspreis überschritten und nunmehr deutlich überschritten? Wird nicht schon längst kräftig substituiert?

Fundamentale Bewegungen am Energiemarkt sind aber immer nur in 10- bis 20-Jahres-Schritten wirklich erkennbar.
Bei den Neubauten von Wohngebäuden hat sich die Wärmepumpe als alternative Beheizungsform als der Renner schlechthin durchgesetzt. Alle so beheizten Gebäude verschwinden nun erst einmal von der Öl- und Gas-Bedarfsseite - und zwar für immer. Nachhaltig wird sich das aber erst in 10 bis 20 Jahren bemerkbar machen.

Wenn nun ab 2010 batteriebetriebene Autos (auch in China!) verkauft und die konventionellen Verbrennungsmotoren bis 2025 substituiert werden, wird sich der Ölbedarf merklich abschwächen und auch die Preise kommen wieder ins Gleichgewicht. Immerhin sind die Möglichkeiten auf der Erzeugerseite von STROM sehr vielfältig.

Es ist vollkommen klar, dass wir nun direkt in ein absolutes Stromzeitalter hineinlaufen (Strom-Wärmepumpen für die Beheizung, Elektroantriebe für den Verkehr). Nur unser pausbäckiger Umweltminister hat das noch nicht bemerkt, weil die äußerst verschlafene DENA diese Entwicklungen noch nicht auf dem Radarschirm hat. Stattdessen erklärt uns Gabriel, dass das Abfackeln unserer Wälder ökologisch eine feine Sache ist (Holzpellets-Heizungen etc.); die proklamierte CO2-Neutralität ist definitiv nicht vorhanden - und jeder weiß das. Sigmar Gabriel ist der \"Norbert Blüm des Jahres 2020\" (eigentlich jeder hat\'s vorher schon gewusst, nur Nobby nicht).

Praktisch allen Prognosen fehlt ein sehr wesentliches Merkmal, nämlich die Einrechnung des technologischen Fortschritts. Die Gegenbewegung zu den hohen Ölpreisen hat schon längst eingesetzt, nur wird dies derzeit durch sicherlich hinlänglich bekannte Faktoren (2 Mio. zusätzliche PKW in China pro Jahr etc.) überdeckt. Ich halte die Prognose des DIW für schwach und geradezu populistisch.

Was halten die Experten hier an Bord denn eigentlich von den silizium-basierten Batterien, die rund um Prof. YI CUI an der Stanford Universität entwickelt wurden?? Immerhin verspricht er eine um den Faktor 10 (!) gesteigerte Batteriekapazität im Vergleich zu den sonst üblichen LiIonen-Batterien. Eine derartige Batterie hätte als Energiespeicher für ein Auto nur noch die Größe des sonst vorhandenen Benzintanks. Ist das nicht wirklich revolutionär? Und was bedeutet das im Zusammenhang mit den Batterien von ALTAIR?

Race to Make Electric Cars
Stalled by Battery Problems

GM, Toyota Seek Ways
To Snuff Out Fire Risk;
Start-Ups See Opening
By NORIHIKO SHIROUZU
January 11, 2008; Page A1

DETROIT -- When the car world gathers here Sunday for the annual North American International Auto Show, the industry will be buzzing about electric power. Auto makers from General Motors Corp. to Toyota Motor Corp. will be displaying a new breed of cars that run mainly on electricity.

But there is one thing the car people won't be charged up about: batteries. For all the hoopla, nobody yet has figured out how to make a small enough battery that will hold a big enough charge for these new cars -- and not be a risk to burst into flames.

The limits of electric-car technology are achingly clear in one of the most-heralded cars on the drawing board: GM's Chevy Volt. GM executives mention the prototype, which the Detroit auto maker aims to put into production in three years, nearly every time they discuss their vision for "gas free" cars. But GM still hasn't solved the battery problem.

A handful of companies are racing to come up with a battery suitable for this next generation of electric cars. The competition pits big Asian battery makers against a gaggle of small start-ups, most of them based in the U.S. Each is trying to come up with a viable power source for long-range electric cars and for gasoline-electric hybrids such as the Volt, which rely far more on electricity than do hybrids currently on the market.
[Tim Spitler]

But the most promising technology, lithium-ion batteries like the ones used in laptop computers and cellphones, has been plagued by problems. Earlier this week, for example, the battery in a laptop made by a South Korean firm burst into flames. U.S. transportation authorities recently said air travelers will no longer be allowed to pack loose lithium-ion batteries in checked luggage.

Car makers can't very well sell vehicles that might "ignite and burn up grandma and two kids sitting on half a ton of batteries in the car," says Tim Spitler, a battery-material researcher at Altair Nanotechnologies, which is working to develop a car battery.

Japanese companies have long dominated the lithium-ion battery market. But a slew of obscure American companies such as A123 Systems, EnerDel Inc., Valence Technology and Altair have gotten into the game, hoping to leap-frog their Japanese competitors by solving the problems.

Rising oil prices, coupled with public concern over global warming, have prompted auto makers to intensify efforts to build cars that run on alternative fuels. The hope is that cars running on powerful batteries could help reduce the total carbon dioxide pumped out by passenger cars, which scientists say is a major contributor to global warming.

Toyota, GM and other auto makers have been experimenting with several different systems for harnessing electric power: a new kind of hybrid called plug-ins, which rely on small gasoline engines to occasionally boost the batteries, and cars that run entirely on batteries. Both systems require cars to be plugged in for recharging.

The popular Toyota Prius hybrid, which never needs to be plugged in, relies partly on gasoline power almost as soon as it picks up speed, and averages about 46 miles per gallon. GM says its plug-in Volt will be designed to run on batteries alone for up to 40 miles -- the length of a typical commute.

Plug-in hybrids and fully electric cars both require batteries that can store lots of energy, recharge quickly and operate in all weather without overheating or failing. Right now, no commercially available battery technology fits the bill, including the batteries used in the Prius, called nickel-metal-hydride cells.

Lithium-ion technology holds the most promise. Lithium-ion batteries, unlike the disposable alkaline variety sold in drugstores, hold lots of energy in a small cell, and can be charged again and again. Japanese companies such as Sony Corp. and Sanyo Electric Co. took an early lead in figuring out how to use the technology to make batteries for consumer electronics.
[Current Affairs]

Then reports began surfacing that laptop and cellphone batteries were overheating and catching fire. The batteries tend to short-circuit when damaged, or when a part designed to separate positive and negative electrodes is scarred during manufacturing, among other possibilities. In 2006, Sony decided to undertake a massive recall of its batteries used in laptops sold by Dell Inc. Many other battery and electronics makers followed suit. Sanyo recalled laptop and cellphone batteries. Nokia Corp. offered to replace cellphone batteries made by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.

Toyota had planned to use lithium-ion batteries in a new version of the Prius that would get 60 to 80 miles per gallon, according to Toyota engineers. But the safety problems prompted Toyota to push back the planned launch of the lithium-ion technology from later this year to late 2010 or early 2011.

The problem presented an opportunity for U.S. battery makers to catch up with the Japanese, who previously appeared to have the market locked up. Whichever company solved the overheating problem would have a shot at lucrative deals with auto makers such as GM. The challenge was to figure out how to reduce the danger level of the lithium-ion technology by altering the chemical makeup of the battery guts.

Early last year, GM invited 27 lithium-ion battery producers from around the world to provide sample battery cells and performance data in order to be considered for the Volt program.

"We just lined up every known high-tech manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries," says GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz. "We put the pluses and the minuses and weighted them by energy content, production capacity, reputation, cost, type of chemistry. The guys did the whole matrix and assigned points and added up the points...that's how we got down to relatively a few suppliers, maybe six or seven out of the whole world population."

GM eventually selected two "development suppliers," consortiums of companies whose technologies it will test for the Volt. One consortium includes A123 Systems, a start-up led by a group of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The other group is led by a unit of South Korean chemical maker LG Chem Ltd.

A123 Systems aims to commercialize battery technology developed by MIT professor Yet-Ming Chiang. Mr. Chiang set up the company in 2002 with Bart Riley, formerly an executive at American Superconductor Corp., and entrepreneur Ric Fulop. After starting with a research grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, A123 raised $132 million in capital from investors including Sequoia Capital, a Menlo Park, Calif., venture-capital firm, and General Electric Co.'s commercial-finance unit. It hopes to go public as early as this year.

A123 has been working with iron-phosphate technology in an effort to create a lithium-ion battery that's less likely to overheat. It already supplies lithium-ion batteries to Black & Decker Corp. for use in power tools. But winning the Volt deal would boost its business substantially.

David Vieau, the company's chief executive, sees a limited window of opportunity. "When the market is in such a big disruption as it is now, that's the only time a company like ours has a chance to cut into the business," he says. "There's really no existing supplier" that can meet technological demands for a car like the Volt. "They can't get it from Sanyo or Panasonic. They have to shop around, so that opens up the door for an opportunity for someone like us. It's a very unusual time. It's only going to last for a certain period of time, probably five years."

The big Asian battery makers have enormous advantages, starting with the big investments they've already made in the manufacturing process. Mitsuru Homma, Sanyo's top battery executive, contends that no matter how good a company is at laboratory research, it needs to be good at manufacturing to produce a safe battery.

"It doesn't matter how far ahead you are in research and development" because all lithium-ion batteries are prone to overheating, no matter what chemistries you use, he contends. "Clever design can minimize the chances for overheating. But if you don't have fool-proof manufacturing know-how, you won't be able to guarantee 100% the safety of a battery cell, no matter how safe it may be proven in the lab."

Altair Nanotechnologies, based in a warehouselike building near the airport in Reno, Nev., is typical of the small companies chasing the opportunity. It claims to have improved on lithium-ion battery technology. Its challenge is to convince potential customers that its technology is the answer and that the company is capable of large-scale production.

Chief Executive Officer Alan Gotcher says that Altair, which has been listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market since 1997, has a "checkered past." For years, he says, it operated as a "speculative company" that, among other things, explored for oil and gas. Since 2004, he says, it has focused on manufacturing high-tech materials for batteries, pharmaceuticals, paint pigments and industrial chemicals. In the first three quarters of 2007, it had a loss of $16.7 million. During an employee meeting last fall, Mr. Gotcher stressed that all employees need to contribute to slowing the company's cash burn to "make sure the company will stay around."

Mr. Spitler, a 60-year-old engineer, is at the center of Altair's battery efforts. A two-time college dropout who got his degree in chemistry at age 29, he worked for years for Dupont Co., then for a company that was sold in 1998 to Altair. At that company, he researched ways to improve the quality of paint.

It turned out that his research on paint pigments was applicable to the battery problem. His paint work and related experiments involved shrinking particles of a material called lithium titanate. That material, he contends, is useful in lithium-ion batteries. Other scientists, he says, had recognized that lithium titanate could make lithium-ion batteries more stable chemically, and thus less likely to overheat and ignite. But using the material, those scientists concluded, limited both the battery's power and its energy density -- its ability to store energy in a given volume of space.

Mr. Spitler contends that if the particles are shrunken small enough -- to 40 millionths of a millimeter in diameter -- they'll work. At Altair, he says, he came up with a cheap way to do that. The equipment Altair uses to produce the particles and how it "mills" and "bakes" them, Mr. Spitler says, "we never reveal it to anybody."

When Mr. Gotcher, a 57-year-old chemist, arrived at Altair in 2004 to take over as chief executive, he found Mr. Spitler's technology sitting on a shelf. He decided to steer Altair into the business of making lithium-ion batteries. He raised capital through a stock offering and brought in a dozen battery experts to help create proprietary batteries and battery modules.

Altair's engineers say their batteries are fast-charging and powerful, work at temperatures ranging from 167 degrees Fahrenheit to 58 degrees below zero, and are less likely to catch fire or explode.

Altair began selling them in 2006, but sales have been slow. The company's executives say they are optimistic about getting orders from a few electric-vehicle start-ups, such as Phoenix Motorcars Inc. of Ontario, Calif., and Lightning Car Co. of the United Kingdom. But in November, Altair disclosed that Phoenix would likely not make $16 million to $42 million in orders this year, which Altair had projected. "Orders may fall below $16 million," Altair said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

One big problem is that Altair's batteries have a lower energy density than competing designs. As a result, a hybrid or electric car would need about twice the volume of Altair batteries as it would batteries that that pack a bigger punch, such as the ones from A123 Systems. That makes Altair's products less suitable for small hybrids like the Volt than for larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks.

Mr. Gotcher remains hopeful. In November, Altair raised $40 million through a stock sale to a Dubai trading company, and a Japanese trading company is considering investing, people familiar with the matter say.

Last month, Japan's Toshiba Corp. announced it had developed a new lithium-ion battery that offers "excellent safety" and would last through 10 years of "constant, rapid charging." It uses technology similar to Altair's.

Toshiba bringt Super-Akku

Wiederaufladung auf 90 % der Kapazität in nur fünf Minuten

Die neue Super Charge Ion Battery (SCIB) soll mehr als 10 Jahre halten, selbst wenn sie immer wieder schnell entladen wird. Eine Wiederaufladung auf 90 % ihrer Kapazität benötigt nur fünf Minuten. Anwendungen dürften vor allem im Automobilbereich zu sehen sein. Die ersten Serienprodukte sollen im März 2008 auf den Markt kommen. 2015 möchte man mit der SCIB bereits 1 Milliarde Euro pro Jahr an Umsatz machen.

Laut Toshiba soll es sich bei der SCIB um eine Weiterentwicklung einer LiIon-Batterie handeln, die durch ein neuartiges Material der negativen Elektrode, einen neuartigen Separator und einen neuartigen Elektrolyten optimiert wurde. Auch soll ein spezielles Fertigungsverfahren zum Einsatz kommen. Wegen des thermisch sehr stabilen Elektrodenmaterials und des hohen Flammpunkts des Elektrolyten will man nicht zuletzt auch die bekannten Sicherheitsprobleme der LiIon-Akkus in den Griff bekommen haben. Hierzu trägt auch bei, dass die Batterie gegen interne Kurzschlüsse besonders gesichert sein soll.

SAP-Veteran will das Auto neu erfinden
Von Thomas Hillenbrand

Öl wird überflüssig, getankt wird per Stromkabel: Das einstige SAP-Wunderkind Shai Agassi plant die grüne Autorevolution. In einem ersten Schritt will er sein Heimatland Israel mit 500.000 Ladestationen für Elektromobile überziehen - gelingt das Projekt, soll die internationale Expansion folgen.


Hamburg - Als Chuzpe bezeichnet man im Jiddischen eine entwaffnende Mischung aus smarter Unverschämtheit und charmanter Dreistigkeit. Davon hat Shai Agassi reichlich. Ende 2006 sprach der damalige Vorstand des Softwarekonzerns SAP bei Israels Premierminister Ehud Olmert vor. Er, Agassi, habe eine revolutionäre Idee. Diese werde den größten Umbruch in der Geschichte des Kapitalismus auslösen, Israels Energieprobleme beseitigen und Frieden im Mittleren Osten schaffen.

Und dafür, so der 39-Jährige, verlange er nicht einen Schekel. "Ich interessiere mich nicht mehr für Geld", erzählt Agassi gerne. "Frieden in der Region und Frieden in der Welt, das ist meine Passion". Er wolle vielmehr Olmerts politische Unterstützung.

Agassis Plan: Der IT-Experte will dem Elektroauto zum Durchbruch verhelfen, indem er sein Heimatland mit einem Netz aus 500.000 Ladestationen überzieht. Öl soll dadurch als Energiequelle weitgehend überflüssig werden, getankt wird fortan per Stromkabel. "Ähnlich wie in der Mobilfunkbranche zahlen die Leute dafür eine Abogebühr", erläutert Agassi. "Und genau wie dort gibt es das Gerät umsonst dazu."

Grüne Autos? Gratis? Die Idee erschien auch Olmert reichlich verwegen. Und so reagierte er zunächst zurückhaltend. Wenn Agassi die Investoren und sämtliche notwendigen Kooperationspartner organisiere, versprach er vorsichtig, werde die israelische Regierung das Projekt unterstützen.

"Wir gehen auf Elefantenjagd"

Zwölf Monate und etliche Interkontinentalflüge später meldete der in Kalifornien beheimatete Agassi Vollzug. Insgesamt 200 Millionen Dollar hat er für sein Unternehmen mit dem schönen Namen Project Better Place eingesammelt. Es ist einer der größten Startkapitalfonds der Geschichte. "Wir gehen schließlich auf Elefantenjagd", sagt Agassi, "da brauchen wir eine große Büchse." Als Aufsichtsratschef gewann er den israelischen Industriemagnaten Idan Ofer. Carlos Ghosn, Vorstandschef des weltweit viertgrößten Autobauers Renault-Nissan, will die benötigten Elektroautos produzieren.

HINTERGRUND: PROJECT BETTER PLACE
Shai AgassiElektroautoInvestoren
Der 39-jährige gebürtige Israeli hat lange in der Softwarebranche gearbeitet. Er gründete mehrere Firmen, darunter Quicksoft Media und TopTier Software. Letztere wurde vom Walldorfer Softwarekonzern SAP übernommen, wo Agassi von 2002 bis 2007 die Products & Technology Group leitet. Er galt lange als möglicher Nachfolger von Vorstandschef Henning Kagermann. Als dessen Vertrag jedoch verlängert wurde, schmiss Agassi hin und gründete Project Better Place.
Bisher gibt es keine in Großserie gefertigten Elektroautos - diesen Part soll der Autokonzern Renault-Nissan übernehmen. Dessen Chef Carlos Ghosn will bis 2011 ausreichend Fahrzeuge für das Projekt liefern. Experten halten dies für ein ehrgeiziges Ziel: Wettbewerber wie GM haben zuletzt ihre Starttermine für eine Serienproduktion ab 2010 relativiert, vor allem die Akkus machen vielen Herstellern Probleme.
200 Millionen Dollar hat Agassi bisher eingesammelt. Größter Geldgeber ist mit 100 Millionen Dollar Idan Ofer von der Israel Corporation. Weitere Invesoren sind die US-Bank Morgan Stanley, Ex-Weltbank-Präsident James Wolfensohn und Medienzar Edgar Bronfman Sr. Seine Partner hat der Israeli mit Charisma und Eloquenz überzeugt, aber wohl auch mit seiner Vita. Agassi hat drei Softwareunternehmen hochgezogen und zu teils hohen Preisen weiterverkauft. Beim deutschen IT-Riesen SAP galt er lange als Nachfolger von Vorstandschef Henning Kagermann, im Silicon Valley kennt der gebürtige Israeli alle wichtigen Spieler. So einem hört man zu, wenn er sagt, dass er "das Ölmonopol aufbrechen will" und hohe Gewinne verspricht. "Allein der europäische Markt für Sprit hat ein Volumen von 500 Milliarden Euro im Jahr. Nur ein Bruchteil davon wäre viel Geld", so Agassi.

DETROIT 2.0: WIE SILICON VALLEY DAS AUTO NEU ERFINDET

Das Aufgebot an Top-Partnern überzeugte auch Olmert sowie Israels Präsident Shimon Peres. Sie boxten Gesetzesänderungen durch die Knesset, unter anderem Steuererleichterungen für Elektroautos. Alle Ministerien wurden angewiesen, das Projekt zu unterstützen. Zudem will die Regierung zur Stromproduktion zwei große Solarkraftwerke in der Negev-Wüste bauen lassen.

"Öl ist das größte Problem aller Zeiten", sagt Peres. "Es ist der große Verschmutzer und der Grund für den Terror. Wir sollten es loswerden." Ende des Jahres will Agassi die ersten Feldtests starten, bis 2011 soll Israels Elektroauto-Netz fertig sein. "Das wird Israels Apollo-Projekt", verspricht der Vorstandschef von Project Better Place. Einige Branchenexperten erwarten eher eine Bruchlandung. "Das scheint mir ein Hirngespinst zu sein", spottete etwa Akkuexperte Menahem Anderman von Total Battery Consulting in der "Business Week".

Der ewige Elektroflop

Die Historie jedenfalls ist nicht auf der Seite Agassis: Von Ferdinand Porsches Elektroauto aus dem Jahr 1899 bis zu General Motors EV1 von 1996 - die Geschichte des Elektrowagens ist eine Reihe von Flops. Technisch kann es der Akkuantrieb noch nicht mit dem Ottomotor aufnehmen. So gelten die bisher verwendeten Stromspeicher als leistungsschwach (Nickel-Cadmium) oder feuergefährlich (Lithium-Ionen).


MEHR ÜBER...
Shai Agassi Project Better Place Israel Elektroauto SAP zu SPIEGEL WISSEN Tomi Engel, Elektroauto-Experte der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Sonnenenergie (DGS), hält dagegen, die Akkus würden stetig besser. "Das Problem ist nicht die Technik. Das Problem ist, dass es bisher kein tragfähiges Geschäftsmodell gibt." Ohne ein Netz von Ladestationen seien Elektroautos für Konsumenten uninteressant. "Die Autohersteller interessieren sich aber nicht für die Infrastruktur. Das ist ein klassisches Henne-Ei-Problem". Agassis Ansatz hält Engel für "einzigartig, weil hier alles gebündelt wird".

Project Better Place will den Kunden die Autos zusammen mit einem Strom- und Batterieabo verkaufen. Den Wagen gibt es umsonst oder zu einem reduzierten Preis, dafür unterschreibt der Konsument einen mehrjährigen Vertrag. An den Ladestationen kann er seinen Akku aufladen, die Identifizierung des Fahrzeugs und die Abrechnung erfolgen automatisch per Software und Funkchip. "Das ist im Prinzip wie bei einer Sim-Karte im Handy", sagt Agassi.

Wenn der ehrgeizige Plan funktioniert, darf sich Agassi in einigen Jahren als Pionier des Elektroauto-Zeitalters feiern lassen. Wenn nicht, gesellt er sich zu den gescheiterten Visionären der Autobranche, zu Preston Tucker oder John DeLorean. Agassi ist sich des Risikos durchaus bewusst: "Es wird ein sehr lautes Flatsch geben, wenn ich auf dem Boden aufschlag

DGS-Experte Engel glaubt, dass die Unterstützung des Projekts durch die Politik der springende Punkt ist. Technische und finanzielle Fragen seien nachrangig, aber "Peres und Olmert haben sich persönlich hingestellt und gesagt, wir machen das. Die werden dafür sorgen, dass ein funktionierender Markt entsteht."

An Optimismus zumindest gebricht es Agassi nicht. Israel sei nur der Anfang, man werde das Geschäftsmodell auf weitere Länder ausdehnen. Selbst große Brocken wie Deutschland schrecken den Öko-Entrepreneur nicht. Da gebe es schließlich reichlich Autofirmen, eine werde schon mitziehen. Und da es mit RWE und E.on nur zwei Energiekonzerne gebe, sei das mit dem Stromnetz auch ziemlich einfach. "Jetzt müsste nur noch die Regierung in Berlin vernünftige Rahmenbedingungen schaffen", sagt Agassi. So wie in Israel. "Dann machen wir morgen Deutschland."

yep, sieht ganz übel aus. ich hab mit MArty tuillo gemailt und natürlich - wie von mir vermutet - liegt der Rücktritt bzw. rauswurf daran, dass man nicht mit der VErmarktung der Alti-Battery-Lösung zufrieden ist. Was ansonsten noch dahinter steckt, sie geht natürlich nicht so ins detail in einer mail.

ist doch ganz klar: man war relativ früh auf dem markt und hat sämtlich early mover vorteile ggü. anderen verspielt. statt sich rechtzeitig einen Major zu sichern (entweder auf supplier seite - wie zb a123 mit GM;GW und wer sonst noch alles mit drin hängt incl. partner Conti für mercedes - oder auf Batterie-tech seite toschiba oder sonst wen) hat man halt ein bischen den automotiv zug verpasst. auch dieses mega-marketing ding von shai Agassi hat wohl nichts mit alti geplant. und wenn man sich diesen Tesla Rodster anschaut, der hat technische Problem über und über und pack 10000de von kilos Einzelakkus hintenrein, und trotzdem ist es immer das erste Beispiel für ZEV´s. Marketing ist nicht altis stärke. es ist an der zeit, dass die Tekkies bei ALTI zeigen, dass die ganzen versprechungen auf der Produktseite tatsächlich wahr sind und man das teil jetzt vermarkten kann.

etwas angefressen bin ich schon. naja, vielleicht baue ich mir wieder ne trading posi auf, nachdem ich ein paar im herbst bei dem anstieg abgestossen hatte.

[Schlaemmer_Horst]

Jeder, der hier investiert ist, musste gewarnt sein. Nach den permanenten Aufschüben auf der Produktionsseite ist der Vorsprung komplett dahin. Die Massenhersteller kommen nun schon in 2009 mit ersten LiIonen-Akkus.
Da die Firma permanente Verluste macht, droht nun kompletter Kapitalverlust. Ich bin daher schon längst ausgestiegen und werde erst wieder einsteigen, wenn auf der Produktionsseite wirklich handfeste Dinge sich materialisieren. Wegen der geringen Kapitalisierung müsste außerdem ein DEUTLICHER technischer Vorsprung gegenüber den Massenherstellern zu erkennen sein. Sehe ich alles im Moment nicht.
Ladezeiten von 10 Minuten und weniger scheinen doch nun in der gesamten Breite realisierbar, das dazu nötige Grundlagenwissen ist offensichtlich allgemein bekannt. Sichere Batterien? Auch kein Problem, siehe EVONIK etc.

Ist die ALTI-Batterie wirklich so revolutionär?? Oder formt sich die tatsächliche Revolution gerade um die Entwicklung von Prof. YI CUI von der Stanford Universität. Hier wurden auf Silizium-Nanoröhren basierende Batterien entwickelt, die die Kapazität der derzeitigen LiIonen-Batterien noch einmal 10-fach überbieten und gleichzeitig eine längere Lebensdauer erwarten lassen.
Die Batterie für ein Auto mit 500 km Reichweite müsste also nicht größer sein als der jetzige Tank.

Tja, in der Grundlagenforschung hat sich eben doch eine Menge getan. Jetzt sollte man mal schauen, wer diese Ideen umsetzen kann. ALTI ist es jedenfalls nicht.

teilweise ok, jedoch die sache mit der 10mal längeren Dauer bezieht sich auf herkömmliche LiIon Akkus, nicht auf das was ALTI produziert. denn ALTI hat mit ähnlicher tech eben genau diesen effekt bzw diese wirksamkei erzielt, deutlich längere Lebensdauer und höher Leistung bei kürzerer Ladezeit <10min.

Aber Du hast Recht, die Meldungen bzgl. Herstellern, Forschern etc, die eben dies auch erreichen haben sich seit mindesten Anfang letzten Jahres deutlich gehäuft...

Ich schreibe hier nicht von "Lebensdauer" - wie auch immer man diesen Begriff interpretiert. Die Silizium-Nanoröhren führen zu einer 10-mal höheren Kapazität, d.h. Du kannst dann mit dem Laptop 20-40 Stunden ohne Nachladen arbeiten.

ANALYSIS-Bus-sized batteries may help efficiency of US grid
03.09.08, 1:23 PM ET

By Nichola Groom

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The next time some U.S. utility customers collectively pump up their air conditioners on a sweltering summer day, that power may be coming from a battery the size of a double decker bus.

U.S. utilities are increasingly investing in super-sized batteries and other forms of energy storage to reduce their dependence on slow, dirty backup plants, put off building new substations, and to store power from wind farms and other growing but volatile sources of renewable energy.

"We are going into a state of extreme growth," Ali Nourai, manager of distributed energy resources at American Electric Power Co Inc (nyse: AEP - news - people ), said of the market for large-scale energy storage. "We sensed it was coming ... now it's happening."

Columbus, Ohio-based AEP, which delivers electricity to more than 5 million customers in 11 states, installed a one- megawatt (MW) battery in West Virginia nearly two years ago, allowing it to delay construction of a new substation and other infrastructure. Six additional MW of storage will be added this year, and the company plans to have 1,000 MW of storage capacity on its system in the next decade.

In AEP's territory, one megawatt supplies enough power for about 800 homes. Right now, the company is using the technology to help distribute power and delay making more expensive upgrades to its system, such as installing a substation.

Large-format storage devices hold so much promise for utilities because they can be charged overnight, when power is cheap and readily available, and can be tapped during the day when demand outpaces supply. And unlike generators or power plants, storage devices can be accessed almost immediately without emitting harmful greenhouse gases.

"Big generators have a hard time changing speed very quickly," said Bill Capp, chief executive of Beacon Power Corp (nasdaq: BCON - news - people ) , which makes flywheels that can store energy and relieve pressure on power grids. "We can do it very fast."

Beacon, which is based in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, is installing its first flywheel plant in New York state and expects to bring in revenue by the end of the year, Capp said. Under its business model, Beacon will build its own plants and sell the power it stores to utilities when they need it.

Storage will become even more important as wind becomes a greater contributor to the nation's energy supply because power can be stored when the wind is blowing fiercely and then accessed when there is little or no wind at all.

"The more wind power that's deployed, the less predictable or stable the grid becomes," Capp said.

Such systems could help avert what happened last month when Texas was forced to cut service to industrial customers because the wind suddenly stopped blowing.

Last week, Xcel Energy (nyse: XEL - news - people ) said it would begin testing a one MW battery to store energy from a Minnesota wind farm.

CHEAPER THAN GRID UPGRADE

AEP's aggressive storage target, combined with growing interest from other utilities, could be huge for the handful of small companies, one analyst said.

"It's a tremendous growth opportunity," said Craig Irwin, who follows the energy storage market for Merriman Curhan Ford. "Utilities want to improve efficiency, and they can get that by spending on advanced storage technologies, versus an upgrade to the grid which can be very expensive."

Some batteries also can be moved if, after several years in one spot, a utility decides to replace it with a bigger investment in infrastructure.

Irwin added that more utilities would snap up batteries as the cost of the technology continues to comes down.

According to Altair Nanotechnologies (nasdaq: ALTI - news - people ) Inc, the cost of one of its batteries is about half that of building a peaker plant, a natural gas-fired facility that is run only when there is high demand. Altair Nanotechnologies recently delivered a $1 million, 2 MW battery system to an AES Corp utility in Indiana, and expects to see more such orders.

"There is strong, strong interest," Bob Goebel, Altair Nanotechnologies' vice president of sales and marketing, said.

AES has a $3 million stake in Altair Nanotechnologies, which is also developing batteries for hybrid vehicles.

Japan's NGK Insulators, which is supplying AEP with its sodium sulfur batteries, is a leader in energy storage because its technology is one of the least expensive, Nourai said. A one MW battery from NGK lasts for about 15 years -- longer than many rival technologies -- and costs about $3 million, he said, or about $3,000 per kilowatt. AEP, however, paid less for the battery it is now running, Nourai said.

By comparison, the cost of a new substation can range from a few hundred dollars to a couple of thousand dollars per kilowatt, an AEP spokeswoman said.

Other players in the industry include ZBB Energy Corp (amex: ZBB - news - people ) , of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, which makes zinc-bromine batteries being used by California utility PG&E Corp, and Canada's VRB Power Systems, which makes vanadium-based batteries.

One risk to the storage makers, however, is the utility industry's push to use plug-in hybrid cars as a source of storage. The idea is that hybrids would charge overnight and allow utilities to draw that power down during the day.

"There are many in the industry who think that's going to change the picture again," AEP's Nourai said, adding that he has even warned NGK about the threat to its business. "It's going to be low cost and it's going to compete with a lot of the battery technology today."

Altair Nanotechnologies' Goebel brushes off that threat, saying there is enough need for energy storage that the two technologies would complement one another. And, after all, Altair Nanotechnologies expects to be making those car batteries as well. (Editing by Carol Bishopric)

ich hab wirklich keine ahnung. im yahoo thread (ALTI) wird wild spekuliert, irgendwas mit einer klageschrift von Boshart gegen Phoenix, anderes gerücht ist erneute lieferverzögerung. ich kanns nicht sagen.


was ich sagen kann: hab eben mit einem gewissen Michael Lew von Think Equity PArtners gesprochen, die regelmässig bericht rausbringen zu Alti. Angerufen hab ich, da erst gestern ein neuer report veröffenlticht wurde mit dem vielversprechenden Titel : ALTI: A New Chapter About To Begin....taget 6$

das hat mich natürlich nach den aktuellen kursabschlägen im vorfeld der Zahlen gewundert.


Basisaussage jedenfalls: er ist im regelmässigen Kontakt mit management. Gotchers Rücktritt (oder rauswurf, das hat er so nicht gesagt,aber de facto war es ja wohl so) ist auch für ihn eine extreme überraschung gewesen und hat definitiv nichts mit fundamentals zu tun.

vielleicht gibt es wiedermal eine lieferverzögerung der Batterien. ich persönlich finde es ja schon extrem komisch, dass kein follow up announcement zu dem Micro Vette test des Fiat Dobl in norwegen kam, nachdem sie die halbzeit-test noch grossartig announced hatten .

also was kommt morgen: best guess: die zahlen werden mal wieder grottenschlecht, die company richtet sich strategisch aus (und zwar in eine richtung die gotcher nicht tragen wollte, darum musste er gehen)

ich habe heute auch schon überlegt nachzukaufen,doch das eisen ist mir etwas zu heiss. lieber auf ein paar cent verzichten, und dann einsteigen, wenn sich der nebel verzogen hat.

man darf ja auch nicht vergessen,dass wir hier nicht nur die Phoenix kiste haben. sondern Partner wie Eli Lilly und das amer. Verteidigungsminsterium, die erst kürzlich 2,5Mio$ bewilligt haben. Daneben produziert Alti Nanobeschichtung für den Stealth etc etc.


ich hab meine erste posi so ungefähr 2003 gekauft. aussteigen werd ich nicht, jedenfalls nicht jetzt...

ALTAIRNANO REPORTS FISCAL YEAR 2007 RESULTS
Company to replace first-generation battery packs sold to Phoenix Motor Cars with second-generation battery packs, under warranty provisions.

Warranty claim related to specific battery module configuration used in first-generation Phoenix battery packs.

Module configuration problem is unrelated to company's unique lithium titanate battery technology. Core battery technology is safe, solid and reliable; no other Altairnano products affected.
RENO, Nevada -- March 12, 2008 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Altairnano) (Nasdaq: ALTI), a leading provider of advanced nanomaterials technology for use in energy, pharmaceutical, life sciences and industrial applications, today reported financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the company reported revenues of $9.11 million as compared with $4.32 million for 2006. The net loss for 2007 was $31.47 million, or 45 cents per share, compared with a net loss of $17.20 million, or 29 cents per share, for the prior year period.

Altairnano's 2007 financial statements include accounting adjustments for events occurring subsequent to year end totaling $6.78 million. These one-time operating expenses are related to a recently discovered module configuration problem that creates a potential overheating risk in first-generation (Gen 1) battery packs sold to Phoenix Motor Cars, Inc. (Phoenix), an electric vehicle manufacturer. The risk arises from the manner in which individual cells were assembled into battery modules, and is not related in any way to the company's proprietary lithium titanate-based cell technology.

At year's end, cash totaled $50.15 million. The company's investment in auction rate notes, totaling $3.91 million, was reclassified from a current to long-term asset due to current market conditions that have resulted in the absence of auctions. Based upon management evaluation of the notes and the underlying collateral, the company determined that the investment securities were not impaired.

The company also disclosed that, in early January 2008, the Board of Directors granted a bonus of approximately $715,000 in a combination of stock and cash to its former Chief Executive Officer Alan J. Gotcher, who agreed to resign February 26. Of the $715,000 bonus payment, approximately $400,000 represents an amount in excess of the amount calculated under the company's existing bonus guidelines. According to Board Chairman Jon Bengtson, the Compensation Committee of the Board is initiating an inquiry into the circumstances under which the bonus was granted and reserves the right to take any appropriate action indicated at the close of the inquiry.

Potential Module Configuration Issue Uncovered by Company

The potential module configuration issue, which has never resulted in an adverse incident with any Altairnano battery modules, was discovered by Altairnano researchers in the course of an exhaustive testing and computer modeling process to investigate possible modes of potential failure in Altairnano batteries. Their analysis revealed that, under certain very rare circumstances, a battery module, as configured for use in Phoenix vehicles, might overheat and fail.

In the Phoenix Gen 1 battery pack product, 48 individual cells comprise one module, and 28 modules comprise one battery pack. Altairnano's proprietary lithium titanate technology is embedded in individual cells. The core technology does not contribute to the identified module configuration issue.

"Although no adverse events have resulted from this identified module configuration issue, and the possibility that a failure might occur is very small, we concluded that warranty replacement of all affected battery packs was the right thing to do, despite the substantial cost involved," said Terry M. Copeland, interim president.

"The warranty replacement is not the result of any concerns with the safety of our proprietary lithium titanate cell technology, which we continue to believe is the best and safest lithium battery technology available today," Mr. Copeland added. "The long-term prospects for Altairnano batteries remain excellent, although the introduction of vehicle batteries into the marketplace has been delayed by this recently identified module configuration issue."

The company said that only the first-generation electric automobile battery modules for Phoenix vehicles are affected. "Battery modules for stationary applications are of a completely different design and are not impacted by this issue," Mr. Copeland said.

The company has substantially completed the modeling and the redesign of a second-generation battery pack. Once testing and computer modeling confirm that the revised module design resolves the potential overheating issue, Altairnano expects to begin delivering second-generation battery packs to Phoenix.

The accounting adjustment includes three subsequent-event charges, all reflected in the company's fourth quarter financial statements:

A $2.86 million warranty credit to Phoenix that will be applied to engineering of Gen 2 battery packs for Phoenix production of some Gen 2 replacement battery packs.
$0.82 million charge for Gen 1 battery modules that were in Altairnano's inventory at the end of the fourth quarter, intended to be shipped to Phoenix.
$3.10 million charge for battery cells that were in inventory at year end or committed for receipt in 2008 and intended to be assembled into battery modules that would be used to assemble Gen 1 battery packs for Phoenix.

The company said that, since the safety of the individual battery cells is not in question, it may ultimately be able to reconfigure the affected battery modules for future sale in other products. However, because of uncertainty about the probability and timing of future sales, the company has determined that the entire cost of the individual cells should be treated as a cost of sale expense at this time. The decision to replace the battery packs under warranty provisions was made after year end; however, because the condition existed prior to year end 2007, the financial statements reflect the resulting adjustments accordingly.

AES Program Moves Forward

The company said that, as expected, two one-megawatt stationary battery packs developed with and purchased by AES Corporation have been connected to the electric grid at an AES subsidiary and full testing has commenced. The stationary battery packs are part of a suite of energy storage solutions to be developed specifically for AES. AES has told the company that it sees numerous potential applications for the technology, which it expects to pursue, assuming the successful testing of the development project.

Increased Operating Expenses

Operating expenses of $42.18 million for 2007 were $20.17 million greater than operating expenses of $22.01 million for 2006. Cash used in operations was $17.9 million in 2007 as compared to $14.4 million in 2006. Increased operating expenses were due to subsequent event non-cash adjustments to cost of sales for warranty expenses and inventory impairment totaling $6.78 million. In addition, operating expenses increased due to greater research and development efforts by approximately $5.37 million, largely for staffing and other expenditures related to battery development. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $3.28 million due primarily to share-based compensation expense, a non-cash item, which increased by approximately $1.88 million.

Private Equity Placement

As previously reported, Altairnano strengthened its balance sheet during the fourth quarter with a $40 million private placement of its common stock to Al Yousuf LLC. As a result, Altairnano's cash at December 31, 2007, totaled $50.15 million at year end. A placement fee of $2.38 million remained unpaid at year end and was paid during January 2008.

Wann kommen die Autohersteller ?

Das kann ich Dir sagen: NIE. Denn die wollen keine PowerPoint-Folien kaufen, sondern funktionierende Batterien.
Schaut Euch doch mal das immer gleiche Bild dieser Superbatterie genau an: Das ist ein billiges Provisorium, wenn nicht eine Attrappe.
Jedenfalls sind die von einer Massenproduktion noch weit entfernt.

Wenn ich könnte, würde ich diese Aktie leer verkaufen.

Aber scheinbar glauben immer noch viele an Altair.
Auch der Quartalsbericht ist eher gruselig und der Casbestand
geht in Richtung 10Mill.Dollar.
Es gibt nicht eine Nanofirma hier bei W.O. die Gewinne macht.
Miv,API Nanotronic,Altair,Nanoventure z.Zt.alles Verliereraktien.
Toyota,Daimler usw.bauen ihre eigenen Batterien mit Bosch zusammen,da braucht man keine Altair.Ich würde dem letzten raten,der noch bei pluss-minus liegt hier zu verkaufen und
sein geld woandershinzutun!!!

[toller]

ich denke mal dass keiner die beiden Postings (Klein und bergfreund) zuvor ignoriert, sondern sich sehr wohl im klaren darüber ist, dass bei Altair momentan einiges im argen ist. man hört nichts mehr von der batterie und auch nichts mehr von den testdrives. ich stehe eigentlich in mehr oder weniger regelmässigem kontakt mit Marty Tuillo (die für alti als externe company die IR übernimmt) und ab und an auch schon mal ne email mit herrn goebel dem CFO. jedenfalls kommt zu den autobatterien nichts konkretes, nur die aussagen, dass alles wie geplant mit den benannten partenrn läuft etc.



bei den autobatterien (im handelsblatt war vor ner woche wieder ne aufstellung zu den aktuelle aktivitäten von Conti, Bosch , a123, Johnson Contr., Mitsub., GM, etc.) tut sich einigen, nur leider ist alti bei den majors nicht im gespräch.

ansonsten wird von den Kontakten immer wieder die stationary power industry angesprochen, hier ist man sehr gut unterwegs. Ich denke dass da noch gewaltiges potenzial liegt. bleibt abzuwarten, ob alti sich hier ein stück von kuchen abschneiden kann.

THE $41 BILLION ENERGY STORAGE MARKET:
THE NEXT BIG ENERGY INVESTMENT
Lux Research report predicts growth to $64 billion in 2012, but entrants struggle
with a complex market
New York, NY – May 29, 2008 – From the mobile phones carried by 3.3 billion
people to the half a million hybrid electric vehicles sold last year, the world runs
on energy storage technologies – the batteries, capacitors, and other devices
that play a hidden, vital role in the energy economy. Energy storage is poised as
the next big energy investment field: Venture capital in the field grew 74% to
$709 million in 2007. But a complex market with many competing technologies
will challenge firms that seek simple routes to success, according to a new report
from Lux Research entitled “Alternative Power and Energy Storage State of the
Market Q2 2008: Making Sense of the Next Big Thing.”
“Energy storage is fragmented because it covers a vast range of technologies –
from batteries to flywheels to compressed air systems – that play into multiple
market segments,” said Ying Wu, Senior Analyst at Lux Research and principal
author of the report. “But the prize for companies that succeed is tremendous:
The market will grow by 55% over the next five years.”
To make sense of the energy storage opportunity, Lux Research studied the field
from two perspectives – analyzing seven energy storage markets, like
“transportation” and “consumer electronics,” on one hand, and five technology
variations – from batteries to energy harvesting devices – on the other. The
team’s methodology combined expert interviews with exhaustive secondary
research and rigorous quantitative modeling. Report highlights include:
• The transportation energy storage market will grow from $12.9 billion last
year to $19.9 billion in 2012, the greatest growth of all seven markets
studied – principally driven by light electric vehicle shipments rising from
about 500,000 to nearly three million as new plug-in hybrid and pure
electric vehicles emerge. NiMH and Li-ion batteries will take center stage
in this market, benefiting companies like Matsushita Electric and LG
Chem.
• Fuel cells will return from the dead. Commercial sales will rise from $92
million in 2007 to $1.8 billion in 2012, driven almost entirely by new
applications in residential combined heat and power systems and
distributed generation deployments – not transportation or consumer
electronics. Adoption of both polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells
(PEMFCs) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) will drive growth for leaders
like Ballard Power Systems and Ceramic Fuel Cells.
• Bulk energy storage for utilities – shifting large amounts of energy from
excess production times to peak usage times – presents the biggest
potential opportunity of all markets studied: If even 10% of installed wind
power plants adopted large-scale energy storage, the market would hit
$50 billion. However, utility companies’ risk aversion and long planning
cycles will sharply limit market size through 2012 to only $600 million.
• After conquering the consumer electronics market, lithium-ion batteries will
make similar inroads in the portable and transportation markets – going
from $6.8 billion in 2007 sales to $16.9 billion in 2012. Nickel metal
hydride and nickel cadmium technologies will be almost completely wiped
out in consumer electronics.
• Financing activities have swelled in energy storage: 2007 saw the greatest
level of venture capital spending to date and a resurgence of IPOs.
Expected IPOs from companies like A123Systems will drive venture
capital, M&A, and IPO activity further upward in the next two years.
“The energy storage landscape will change over the next five years as new
technologies enter in earnest from 2011 onward,” said Wu. “Flywheels will
branch out from datacenter backup power to grid frequency regulation; fuel cells
will finally achieve scale in stationary applications; and new battery types
including zinc-bromide and vanadium redox flow batteries, silver-zinc batteries,

RENO, NV -- July 8, 2008 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Nasdaq: ALTI), a leading manufacturer of safe, high-performance lithium-titanate battery and energy storage products, announced today the successful completion of a demonstration and validation program for a two- megawatt 500 kilowatt-hour battery system purchased by AES Corporation (NYSE:AES). 
The program was developed and validated by KEMA, Inc. and executed by AES personnel and subcontractors.  KEMA's testing showed the battery system successfully met the program's milestones, which was conducted to demonstrate the applicability of Altair's large platform technology to frequency regulation, a key service currently provided by power plants to the electric grid.  This demonstration also suggests that the technology could be used for several other utility applications. 
"The positive AES results validate the immense opportunities in the utility sector," said Terry Copeland, President and CEO for Altair Nanotechnologies.  "Our patented lithium titanate battery technology represents a significant advancement in frequency regulation and can provide utilities and generating companies with a valuable tool and resource in the growing challenge of grid management."
"We are pleased with the results of the Altairnano units. This two megawatt validation project is one of the final steps in our move towards commercial deployment of grid-scale energy storage," said Chris Shelton, Director of Energy Storage Development at AES. "Fast-responding, high-efficiency energy storage systems such as these will create a more resilient grid and allow for increased use of variable generating sources such as wind and solar."
The two-megawatt battery system was installed and operated at a substation owned by Indianapolis Power & Light (IPL), an AES company. The system contained two one-megawatt battery storage units each consisting of one Altairnano 250 kilowatt-hour lithium titanate battery stack, AC-to-DC power conversion system, HVAC units, a control system and transformers to connect to the IPL grid. During the validation exercise the capacity of each unit was tested by repeatedly charging and discharging at one megawatt for 15 minutes.  In a second test, two megawatts of power from each of the units were used to show the capability of paralleling two separate systems. Additional testing included simulated frequency regulation, which involved switching the units from charge to discharge at up to one megawatt of power every four seconds for several hours. The KEMA summary report will be available on Altair's website, www.altairnano.com and on the KEMA website at www.kema.com.
In August 2007 AES Corporation and Altair Nanotechnologies announced a joint development and equipment purchase agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies will develop a suite of energy storage solutions. This first solution is a modular unit designed to deliver in excess of one megawatt of power and 250 kilowatt-hours of energy per unit. Multiple units can be linked together in systems to provide both more power and more energy storage.
Altair and AES are working together toward utilization of these systems to provide more efficient management of energy quality, frequency control, and real-time energy fluctuations in milliseconds at grid level. The battery systems' extended cycle-life, high-efficiency, and power profile for the continuous delivery of pulses of plus or minus one megawatt to the grid differentiate Altair's battery storage system from other potential solutions in the marketplace.

2.5MWh ... damit kann man zum Beispiel ein Krankenhaus einen Tag lang mit Strom versorgen ...

[Scent]

Okay, im Kurs war Bewegung.
Erklärt mir jemand inwieweit das in konkreten Umsatz mündet?

Eine erfolgreiche Demonstration, das Potential ist vorhanden.
Bevor ich mich tiefer in die Materie einlesen, kann mir jemand auf nachfolgende Fragen - gerne auch stichwortartig - antworten?

Gibt es für diese Technik KONKRETE Planungen i.S. eines Exklusivvertrages, bezahlte Pilotprojekte etc.?

Wenn ich es noch richtig im Kopf habe, hatte ALTAIR das Problem, dass die Kapazität im Vergleich zu Mitbewerbern (zuletzt Toshiba, mit vergleichbarer Technik) geringer ist, bzw. mehr Zellen für dieselbe Leistung notwendig war (mehr Platzbedarf, höheres Gewicht, höherer Verschleiß?, aufwendigere Wartung?). Hat sich diesbzgl etwas getan?

Vielen Dank für die Mühe!

[remag-metall]

hallo freunde

eines kann ich euch versichern

a) Mobilität wird auf Basis Strom stattfinden
b) Energiespeicherung wird ein Riesenmarkt
c) die beiden Dinge werden sich gegenseitig bedingen

stellt euch folgendes vor

ihr kauft billigen Strom in der Nacht und könnt ihn als Spitzenstrom verkaufen - das Delta zwischen Ein- und Verkauf ist in Europa nicht selten 40€/MWh. Oder in China wo ich oft bin steht die Produktion in vielen Gegenden 8-12Stunden am Tag oder mehr still weil es einfach keinen Strom gibt (kontingentiert). Wer also seinen Tagesbedarf in der Nacht bunkert der produziert zu geringeren Kosten als sein Konkurrent.
Unsere Netze sind alle am Limit, nur durch Dezentralisierung in Produktion und Speicherung lässt sich weiterer Verbrauch (= Wirtschaftswachstum) überhaupt darstellen.

Ich hoffe also das ALTI ein konkurrenzfähiges Produkt für diese Märkte auf die Beine stellen kann.

gruss

[Scent]

Hoffnung ist bei den aktuellen Zahlen aber doch "hoffentlich" nicht das einzige, was es zu sagen gibt.
Bzgl. Mobilität auf Basis Strom: Das ist eine Frage der Effizienz. Der Strom muss schließlich auch produziert werden und bis zum Verbrauch müssen möglichst geringe Verluste liegen.

Deshalb würden mich Antworten auf mein Posting 615 sehr interessieren und ggfs. weiteres Engagement von meiner Seite nach sich ziehen.

Vielen Danke für deinen Beitrag!!!

Continental hatte ich seit der Meldung zur Serienherstellung für Lithium Autobatterien mit virtuellen Kauflimit versehen.
Naja ... das heute bekannt gewordene Übernahmeinteresse an Conti macht dem leider einen Strich durch die Rechnung.

Werde mir die anderen Werte mal anschauen.

[Scent]

Tja ... und Conti schien auch die einzig "sichere" Wert gewesen zu sein.
Ansonsten ist ein "eventuelles" Wachstum schon vorweg genommen, die Bewertung ohne das der Marktanteil und Umsatz tatsächlich schon da ist, einfach zu hoch.
Nur ein Wert ist auf meiner Watchlist geblieben und interesant falls er nochmals 20% nachgibt.

Keine positiven Äußerungen zu Altair ... heißt wohl, dass alle auf Nachrichten warten ...
Ansonsten werden die "Großen" durch Umstruktierung den Marktveränderungen begegnen.

Altair Nanotechnologies Ships Battery Packs to Phoenix MC, Inc.
Companies Sign New Principles of Agreement Letter
 

RENO, NV -- July 25, 2008 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ:ALTI), a leading provider of advanced nanomaterials technology for use in energy, life sciences and industrial applications, today announced that it has signed a new Principles of Agreement Letter with Phoenix Motorcars, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Altair will ship 47 battery packs purchased by Phoenix in 2007 to Phoenix for use exclusively in demonstration vehicles.  In addition, Altair entered into a letter of agreement with Phoenix formally terminating the existing supply agreement and mutually releasing each other from any claims under such agreement.
In the first quarter of 2008, Altair offered a warranty replacement of the 47 battery packs to Phoenix because exhaustive computer modeling studies conducted by Altair suggested a remote chance of pack failure under certain conditions based on the configuration of the modules that comprised the packs. "We are pleased to have worked with Phoenix to resolve this concern in a timely and practical manner that allows them to use the original batteries with a simple safety system addition," commented Altair CEO Terry Copeland, Ph.D.
"We look forward to getting the 47 vehicles on the road by October," said Phoenix CEO Daniel J. Elliott. "Phoenix remains convinced that consumers will rapidly accept this new product based on its game-changing performance, especially given their necessary focus on gas prices and the country's continued dependence on foreign oil. We are currently working with Altair to obtain battery modules for future vehicle production runs, and we are excited about our ongoing partnership."
Based upon the Principles of Agreement Letter, in the second quarter of 2008, Altair reversed the $2.8 million warranty liability associated with this transaction and wrote off a $1.7 million note payable due to Altair from Phoenix. The result of the transaction, which is outlined in the Principles of Agreement Letter filed July 24, 2008 with a Form 8K, is a credit to cost of goods sold of $2.8 million and a debit to operating expense of $1.7 million for a net positive impact of $1.1 million to net income in the second quarter 2008 financial results.
In addition to the approximate net impact of the $1.1 million credit, the demonstration vehicles are expected to qualify for zero-emission vehicle ("ZEV") credits under the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Type III program. Altair will receive ten percent of the monetized value of any ZEV credits awarded for cars containing its battery packs.  Each car qualifying under the Type III program will generate forty ZEV credits in calendar year 2008.

Das war also der Grund für den Kursanstieg der letzten Tage, na ja immerhin werden die Batterien ausgeliefert und funktionieren so wie`s aussieht!

[VaJo]

Hallo zusammen,

ich bin heute bei Altair Nano eingestiegen. Hier einige Aussagen und Fakten die mich dazu bewegt haben.


"Jens Hadler, Leiter Aggregateentwicklung bei Volkswagen:
Die Autokonzerne müssen neue Kompetenzen aufbauen, zukaufen und Allianzen eingehen, während neue Akteure den Markt betreten. Und nicht nur das: Der Ausgang dieses Wettbewerbs entscheidet weltweit über Hunderttausende Jobs. Nicht alle werden zu retten sein."

Dieter Zetsche
Noch drei Generationen der Mercedes C-Klasse – dann ist die Zukunft da. „Das künftige Herz der Autos wird die Hochvoltbatterie und die zugehörige Leistungselektronik sein“

„Die Zukunft gehört dem Elektroauto“ verkündet VW-Konzernchef Martin Winterkorn vor wenigen Tagen in der „Bild“-Zeitung.

300 Millionen Dollar, so ließ McCain am Montag verlauten, will der 71-Jährige demjenigen zahlen, dem es gelingt, eine kleinere, leistungsfähigere und billigere Batterie für den Antrieb von Autos zu entwickeln.

Chevy Volt. Ein Elektroauto, das mit Batteriekraft rund 60 Kilometer weit fahren soll und mit einem kleinen Benzinmotor, der die Batterie zwischendurch wieder auflädt, sogar über 500 Kilometer weit. „Dieses Auto“, sagt der deutsche Ingenieur Frank Weber, der in den USA die Entwicklung des Volt leitet, „genießt im Konzern die höchste Priorität.“

Für das Jahr 2020 erwartet Bundesumweltminister Sigmar Gabriel auf deutschen Straßen bereits eine Million Autos mit elektrischem Antrieb.

Burkhard Göschel, Ex-BMW-Entwicklungsvorstand und heute Chief Technical Officer (CTO) beim kanadischen Zulieferer Magna International, ist überzeugt: „Das Elektroauto hat das Potenzial, das gesamte Geschäftsmodell der Autoindustrie zu verändern.“

Es gibt Alternativen zum Elektroantrieb. Stimmt nicht, jedenfalls nicht auf lange Sicht. Der Energieaufwand, um 100 Kilometer weit zu fahren, ist bei keinem Antriebskonzept geringer als bei einem batteriegetriebenen Elektroauto.

Elektroautos sind träge. Das ist falsch. Elektroautos sind potenziell wahre Raketen. Der amerikanische Tüftler Scotty Pollacheck hat ein Elektromotorrad gebaut, das in 0,7 Sekunden auf Tempo 100 beschleunigt, fast viermal so schnell wie ein 1000 PS starker Bugatti Veyron.

Elektroautos sind teuer. Stimmt nur bedingt. Teuer sind die Batterien...

Altair ist der zur Zeit führende Hersteller in Sachen Batterietechnik. Die Chancen stehen gut, das Altair in naher Zukunft aufgekauft oder selbst die Bühne als global Player betritt. Und - es ist sehr ruhig um die Aktie geworden

ALTAIR NANOTECHNOLOGIES REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2008 FINANCIAL RESULTS



RENO, Nev. -- August 6, 2008, -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Nasdaq: ALTI) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported revenues of $1.90 million, down from $3.07 million in the same quarter of 2007. The net loss was $5.66 million, or seven cents per share, compared to a net loss of $5.43 million, or eight cents per share, for the second quarter of 2007. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter were 84,488,315 compared to 69,926,260 reported in second quarter of 2007.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $22.37 million, from $50.15 million at December 31, 2007 to $27.77 million at June 30, 2008. This is due primarily to net cash used in operations of approximately $20.88 million, purchases of property and equipment of approximately $1.59 million, and the payment of notes payable of $0.60 million. This decrease was partially offset by the receipt of proceeds resulting from the exercise of stock options and warrants of approximately $0.50 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, our net cash consumed was $22.37 million while cash consumed during the second quarter was only $7.80 million of this total. Since the first quarter, the Company has taken significant steps to reduce its cash burn rate to a level more consistent with its current revenue expectations.

"We experienced outstanding test results from our two-megawatt stationary battery developed for The AES Corporation," said Terry Copeland, Ph.D., Altairnano's President & CEO. "The independent report prepared by KEMA has validated that our battery did everything that it was designed to do. These test results have created a significant amount of interest in our product and its capabilities for solving existing problems in the electric grid, particularly as suppliers look for cost effective solutions to their capacity and energy management issues."

"We have also recently reached an agreement with Phoenix MC, Inc. that has resolved all of our outstanding issues with them," Dr. Copeland continued. "They will use our original Generation 1 batteries in their first 50 demonstration vehicles with the addition of a new safety system being added by Phoenix. We continue to work with Phoenix on the definition of a new longer-term supply agreement, and are excited about the potential in this market."

As previously announced, during the 2008 second quarter, Altairnano reversed the $2.8 million warranty liability associated with the Phoenix Motorcars' transaction and wrote off a $1.7 million note payable due to Altairnano from Phoenix. The result of the transaction, which is outlined in the Principles of Agreement Letter filed July 24, 2008 with a Form 8K, is a reduction to cost of goods sold of $2.8 million and an increase in operating expense of $1.7 million for a net positive impact of $1.1 million to net income in the second quarter of 2008 financial results.

In addition to the approximate net impact of the $1.1 million, the Phoenix demonstration vehicles are expected to qualify for zero-emission vehicle ("ZEV") credits under the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Type III program. If Phoenix receives any ZEV credits and is able to monetize them, Altairnano will receive ten percent of that monetized value awarded for cars containing its battery packs. Each car qualifying under the Type III program will generate forty ZEV credits in calendar year 2008.

Second Quarter 2008 Conference Call

ALTAIRNANO TO DEVELOP REVOLUTIONARY BATTERY FOR THE U.S. ARMY

Unique wide temperature application and long battery life meet the Army's requirements for use in cold and hot conditions


<RENO, NV -- August 6, 2008 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI), a leading provider of advanced nanomaterials technology used in power and energy systems and other applications, today announced that it has signed a $350,000 contract through the U.S. Army's Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey to deliver prototype batteries for use in the Army's M119 105mm lightweight gun digitization program.

Altairnano's unique lithium titanate batteries not only can operate effectively in cold areas like the mountains of Afghanistan or in regions such as the deserts of Iraq where temperatures can range from extreme cold to searing heat, but also have rapid charging capabilities essential to a wide range of Army operations around the world. The projected long life of Altairnano technology is also an important attribute that will enable the Army to spend fewer resources resupplying standard shorter-lived lithium ion batteries.

Under the contract Altairnano will deliver its prototype batteries (about the size of a motorcycle battery) this fall. Testing will extend into early 2009 with expected acceptance and approval by the U.S. Army to follow. If the Altairnano units are approved for the M119 105mm lightweight gun digitization program, they could be offered for use with the entire 105mm/M119 inventory which currently numbers around 850 guns. Each gun will require between one and three individual batteries. Based on the tests, the exact number is yet to be determined. Altairnano's lithium titanate batteries are also being considered for similar military applications by both the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps.

"This is another important milestone in our revolutionary battery development," said Terry M. Copeland, Altairnano's CEO. "We are beginning to see customers seeking out our products for the unique characteristics that only Altairnano technology can provide," Copeland added. "The current program is only a beginning. Once the technology is proven in the field, we fully expect interest and supply contracts from other U.S. and foreign military services," added Copeland.

"Altairnano is proud to help improve the effectiveness of the men and women defending our nation," concluded Copeland.

Altair Nanotechnologies Reports Third Quarter 2008 Financial Results
Thursday November 6, 7:00 am ET


RENO, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 6, 2008 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NasdaqCM:ALTI - News) today reported financial results for the third quarter, ended September 30, 2008.
ADVERTISEMENT







For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the company reported revenues of $1.80 million, down from $3.37 million in the same quarter of 2007. The net loss was $9.11 million, or 11 cents per share, compared to a net loss of $6.13 million, or nine cents per share, for the third quarter of 2007. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter were 84,635,878, compared to 70,023,935 reported in third quarter of 2007.

The company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $26.42 million, from $50.15 million at December 31, 2007 to $23.73 million at September 30, 2008. This is due primarily to net cash used in operations of approximately $25.13 million, purchases of property and equipment of approximately $2.13 million, and the payment of notes payable of $0.60 million. This decrease was partially offset by the receipt of proceeds resulting from the exercise of stock options and warrants of approximately $1.44 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our net cash consumed was $26.42 million, while cash consumed during the third quarter represented $4.04 million of this total. Since the first quarter, Altairnano has taken significant steps to reduce its cash burn rate to a level more consistent with its current short-term revenue expectations and expects to maintain this vigilance going forward.

"We continue to narrow our focus by concentrating on our battery technology, as seen in our military, stationary and transportation initiatives, which offers Altairnano the greatest near- and long-term revenue potential," said Terry Copeland, Altairnano Chief Executive Officer. "In addition, we are maintaining a diligent approach to managing our resources and reducing our overall burn rate."

As previously announced, subsequent to the 2008 third quarter, Altairnano entered into a purchase and settlement agreement with Al Yousuf, LLC for a $10 million private placement of its common stock and release of its potential breach of contract and other claims related to its 2007 $40 million investment. Under the 2007 purchase agreement, Altairnano made certain representations and warranties related to its inventory, warranty reserve and similar matters that were affected by the write-offs and warranty offers announced in March 2008. Under the terms of this 2008 agreement, the company also expanded its Board of Directors and appointed Iqbal Al Yousuf as the eighth director. At its 2009 annual meeting, Altairnano will further expand its Board to nine directors and appoint a second nominee of Al Yousuf to that seat.

Early in the third quarter, Elanco Animal Health, a division of Eli Lilly Company, informed us that due to financial constraints they were halting all spending with respect to the Development Services Agreement between our companies. As a result, our Collaborative Research, License and Commercialization Agreement has been terminated. All rights previously granted to Elanco have been rescinded. While we are looking for another partner for this product, it is uncertain that we will be able to do so. This does not impact our ongoing work with Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The overall economy and financial markets have been very difficult this year and deteriorated significantly in the third quarter providing credit and financing challenges for many companies. Fortunately Altairnano has not been required to raise money in public markets during this difficult environment and has sufficient cash on hand to sustain it into 2010. Because of the nature of the company's energy products, its existing and prospective customers have not been affected as strongly as most other companies, and the company continues to see high levels of interest from the prospects they are working with.

Third Quarter 2008 Conference Call

Altairnano will hold a conference call to discuss its third quarter 2008 results on Thursday, November 6, 2008, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST). Shareholders and members of the investment community are invited to participate in the conference call. The dial-in number for both U.S. and international callers is [phone].

Hi,
wieso sollte für Altair was von der Förderung dabei sein frag ich mich?

Sind die Altair Batterien irgendwie besser als andere?
Besonders umweltschonend?
Kann man die öffter aufladen?
Besseren Wirkungsgard?
Beschäftigt Altair besonders viele Mitarbeiter so das hier die Arbeitsplätze gefördert werden ?

Ob Altair von Fördertopf etwas bekommt, ist offen. Aber Altair hat für mich die beste Chancen etwas zu bekommen. Wenn die in kommende Jahren diese Chance nicht nutzen können, würde ich es grob fahrlässig bezeichnen! Ich denke die werden sich nicht so dämmlich stellen! Es bleibt aber für alle Seiten ein Risikoinvestment!

Endlich mal wieder gute Nachrichten,

Altair Nanotechnologies Ships Batteries to the U.S. Army
RENO, NV – April 22, 2009 – Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Altairnano) (Nasdaq: ALTI), a leading provider of energy storage systems for clean, efficient power and energy management, announced today the shipment of 40 advanced battery systems in support of the Army's M119 105mm lightweight gun digitization program.
The battery development initiative, announced by Altairnano in August 2008, is part of a military testing program to demonstrate the use of Altairnano's advanced battery systems for improving performance, reliability, and safety attributes associated with M119 105mm gun batteries. Jim Shields, the Army's program manager indicated, "I am very excited about the capability offered by the Altairnano battery technology and look forward to conducting system level testing and delivering leap ahead performance to our troops."  
"Altairnano's advanced battery systems exhibit the widest operating temperature ranges, and highest abuse tolerance of any lithium-ion battery available today," said Terry Copeland, president and CEO, Altairnano. "The projected long-life of the batteries is also an important attribute, which is expected to help the military replace batteries less often than shorter-lived, conventional lithium-ion batteries."
 
Engineering and software design for the M119 gun digitization program is being managed by the Armaments Research Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey. Testing of the recently shipped battery systems by the U.S. Army's Communications and Electronics Research, Engineering and Development Command (CERDEC) at Ft Monmouth, New Jersey is expected to continue through summer 2009. Once approved for the M119 105mm lightweight gun digitization program, the Altairnano battery systems could be offered for use throughout the military's M119 105mm inventory, which currently numbers around 850 howitzers.
 
The system designed for the U.S. Army features a 24 Volt/22 Amp Hour battery with an integrated battery management system (BMS). The battery has broad applications beyond the M119 program and could extend to other weapons platforms, advanced military vehicle designs, portable power and back-up power applications.

Es war abzusehen das die Zahlen nicht gut werden,
allerdings, sie die Veluste nicht ganz so hoch wie von mir befürchtet. Mitlerweile haben sie die Kosten wohl im Griff.
Sollte doch noch alles gut werden?

Altair Nanotechnologies Reports First Quarter 2009 Financial Results

RENO, Nev. – May 7, 2009 – Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Altairnano) (Nasdaq: ALTI), a provider of energy storage systems for clean, efficient power and energy management, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company reported revenues of $0.9 million, down from $1.1 million for the same period in 2008. The net loss was $6.4 million, or seven cents per share, compared to a net loss of $8.3 million, or 10 cents per share, for the first quarter of 2008. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter were 93.0 million, compared to 84.2 million reported in the first quarter of 2008.
Operating expenses of $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2009 were $2.4 million less than the operating expenses of $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2008.  The decrease in operating expenses was primarily a result of lower research and development costs associated with the smaller number of grants on which we are working in 2009 compared to 2008. 
The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $6.2 million, from $28.1 million at December 31, 2008 to $21.9 million at March 31, 2009. This is due primarily to net cash used in operations of approximately $5.3 million which includes the establishment of a restricted cash reserve of $0.5 million to facilitate currency hedge agreements related to inventory purchases denominated in foreign currencies, purchases of property and equipment of approximately $0.3 million and the payment of notes payable of $0.6 million.  The first quarter 2009 cash consumption of $6.2 million was substantially less than the Company's first quarter 2008 cash consumption of $14.6 million. 
Dr. Terry Copeland, Altairnano president and CEO, anticipates the company to benefit directly from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act and opportunities associated with the Electric Drive Vehicle Battery and Component Manufacturing Initiative and the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program. "We are applying for battery manufacturing grants, and we believe the Smart Grid program will accelerate the adoption of advanced energy storage systems such as ours," said Copeland. "However, given the grant timelines, and the fact that not all of the program specifics have been announced yet for the Smart Grid grants, we expect it will be at least late third quarter before we see any orders or cash grants associated with these opportunities."
As a result of the substantially deteriorated economic environment during 2008 and thus far in 2009, the Company continues to experience a slowing of order placements from its various customers.  Orders that the Company had expected from the commercial sector have been deferred until later than we initially projected and the Company's military business, while all still on track, is similarly experiencing delays. 
As payment for achieving certain milestones as specified in its contract with Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, the Company is also carrying shares of Spectrum stock with an acquisition price of $1.1 million on its balance sheet.  As a result of ongoing analysis of the strength of this stock during the first quarter of 2009, the temporary impairment of $0.8 million that the Company had recorded against these securities as of December 31, 2008 was reduced to $0.7 million.  Finally the Company carried Phoenix MC common stock valued at $106,000 as of December 31, 2007 on its books, which was written down to $18,000 as of December 31, 2008, and has now been completely written off.
First Quarter 2009 Conference Call
Altairnano will hold a conference call to discuss its first quarter 2009 results on Thursday, May 7, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Shareholders and members of the investment community are invited to participate in the conference call. The dial-in number for both U.S. and international callers is [phone]. Please dial in to the conference five minutes before the call is scheduled to begin. Ask the operator for the Altair Nanotechnologies call.

An audio replay of the conference call will be available from 2:00 p.m. EDT, Thursday, May 7, 2009 until Midnight EDT, Wednesday, May 18, 2009. It can be accessed by dialing [phone] and entering conference number 1048752.

JOHN DVORAK'S SECOND OPINION
Going the extra mile
Commentary: Promising battery technology should excite investors
By John C. Dvorak
Last update: 5:36 p.m. EDT May 8, 2009Comments: 38BERKELEY, Calif. (MarketWatch) -- Anyone who has followed batteries knows the likelihood of a new technology to come along and save the world from itself is close to nil. All we can hope for are tweaks that incrementally improve battery performance.
But there is a tweak that interests me, and it should interest investors as well. It's a lithium-titanate battery developed by Altair Nanotechnologies (ALTI:Altair Nanotechnologies Inc

Sponsored by:
ALTI 1.09, -0.01, -0.9%) , and it's now being experimented with by the U.K.'s Lightning car company, as well as at least one U.S. carmaker.
What makes this battery valuable for automotive use is its recharging speed. It's optimized to recharge in minutes, not hours. That makes the idea of fueling stations for electric vehicles feasible, perhaps even practical.
It also can be recharged more than 5,000 times, or every day for more than a decade. Indeed, the recharging potential of these batteries could outlast a car's lifetime, and so the company needs to figure out ways to recycle.
The key to this battery is its unique nanotechnology anode, which increases the actual surface area of the anode by 30 times. That allows for faster charging and discharging.
But the drawback is price. Costing perhaps three times that of the competition, this battery will remain pricey until mass production techniques are used.
Meanwhile, this is one of the many companies in the lithium-ion business to watch -- and one of the few that is publicly traded.
There are two basic types of batteries that will power the electric cars of the future -- the NiMH, for nickel metal-hydride, and the lithium-ion batteries first proposed in the 1970's and tweaked substantially since.
There are numerous lithium battery technologies getting research attention because no other battery delivers so much power at such a low weight. Anyone who uses a disposable lithium battery in their camera soon realizes that they weigh almost nothing, yet deliver more power for a longer period than anything available.
The problem with lithium is that it's extremely volatile. Nobody makes an over-the-counter lithium battery larger than AA because of the danger. Many are packaged to appear larger, but if you open it up you'll find AA batteries stacked inside.
Further, the FAA has rules against flying with lithium batteries. And the recent episode of exploding laptop batteries was all about the lithium.
There are numerous formulations for both rechargeable lithium-ion and lithium batteries depending on their eventual use. One of the considerations is operating temperature. Many modern battery technologies simply stop working when the temperature gets below freezing, which concerns carmakers.
According to the Altair brochure, though, the company's battery is designed to operate from minus-40 to plus-55 Celsius. This makes the battery practical for all sorts of uses including backup and wind-farm storage.
Whether this sort of technology will ever find its way into cell phones or laptops is unclear, but it looks like the best solution so far for the electric car.
This is a company worth watching.

Betrifft das nicht auch Altair, ich dachte die kooperieren mit Tesla?

STUTTGART (dpa-AFX) - Der Automobilhersteller Daimler steigt mit knapp zehn
Prozent beim amerikanischen Elektro-Sportwagenbauer Tesla ein. Dafür zahlen die
Stuttgarter einen zweistelligen Millionen-Betrag, wie Daimler-Forschungsvorstand
Thomas Weber am Dienstag bei einer Pressekonferenz in Stuttgart sagte. Auch eine
spätere Aufstockung der Beteiligung sei nicht ausgeschlossen.

'Unsere strategische Partnerschaft ist ein wichtiger Schritt, um die weltweite
Kommerzialisierung von Elektroantrieben zu beschleunigen', sagte Weber. Tesla
ist nach Einschätzung der Stuttgarter derzeit der einzige Hersteller, der mit
dem Sportwagen Tesla Roadster ein speziell auf Langstrecken ausgelegtes
Batteriefahrzeug in Nordamerika und Europa anbieten kann. Die im kalifornischen
Silicon Valley ansässige Tesla Motors Inc entwickelt seit 2004 Elektroautos und
will 2011 auch eine Limousine mit Batterieantrieb vorstellen./dct/sb

RENO, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--May 28, 2009 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Altairnano) (NasdaqCM:ALTI - News), a leading provider of energy storage systems for clean, efficient power and energy management, today announced a $3.8 million contract award from the Office of Naval Research (ONR). This award is for the continued research and design of Altairnano's large-scale nano lithium titanate energy-storage systems for possible use as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) on Navy ships.

{"s" : "alti","k" : "c10,l10,p20,t10","o" : "","j" : ""} "Our advanced battery technology is advancing the quest for a safe, less costly and environmentally friendlier substitute for fossil-fuel burning turbines," said Terry M. Copeland, Ph.D., Altairnano's president and chief executive officer. "The design and development of a 500-kW energy-storage unit paves the way for the Navy to dramatically change how vessels respond to requirements for efficient, redundant, and safe power availability. Given the number of ships to which Altairnano's technology could be applied, this electrical storage and rapid power delivery system could reduce the Navy's fuel consumption by tens of millions of gallons each year."

On Navy vessels today, two gas-turbine generators are kept online to guarantee power availability. An Altairnano battery solution provides the ability to run only one turbine at a more efficient capacity. If there is a problem with the primary generator, the Altairnano UPS would provide enough power to allow a second generator to be started and put online, avoiding the cost of keeping two generators running continuously. It is estimated the fuel cost savings alone would near $1 million per vessel for a six-month cruise.

This contract, the continuation of an earlier award announced in 2008, is for the additional engineering, design, and testing of Altairnano's advanced battery systems for use on Navy ships. The second phase of this contract includes construction and delivery of a 500-kW energy-storage unit for operational testing by ONR. During this phase Altairnano will produce this unit for performance testing, smaller-scale modules for safety testing and conduct other cell, safety and ship integration studies. The engagement starts immediately with contract completion anticipated by July 1, 2010.

To date, total funds appropriated by Congress for Altairnano's battery program total $12.5 million. Funds for the third phase of Altairnano's ongoing engagement are expected to be awarded in 2010.

Diese Woche wird richtig spannend!


14.06.2009


Altair Nanotechnoloiges im Visier der Araber
Alfred Maydorn

Ende letzter Woche legte die Aktie des Batterie-Entwicklers Altair kräftig zu und steig wieder über die wichtige Marke von einem Dollar. Unterstützend wirkte die Nachricht, dass eine arabische Investorengruppe einen zweiten Posten in der Unternehmensleitung erhält.

Seit 2007 hat die arabische Investmentgesellschaft Al Youssuf LLC aus Dubai gleich mehrfach in Altair Nanotechnologies investiert und hält heute rund 21 Prozent der Anteile. Erst im Oktober 2008 erwarben die Araber erneut Aktien für zehn Millionen Dollar und erhielten gleichzeitig das Recht auf zwei Mitglieder im „Board of Directors“. Nachdem zunächst der Chef selbst, Egbal Al Yousuf, einen der beiden Posten in Anspruch nahm, wurde jetzt mit Hossein Asrar Haghigi das verbleibende Mandat besetzt.

Interesse an Elektroautos
Damit unterstreicht die Al Yousuf-Gruppe ihr Interesse an der Technologie von Altair, dem Entwickler leistungsfähiger Lithium-Titanat-Akkumulatoren, die sich für den Einsatz in elektronisch angetrieben Fahrzeugen eignen. Al Yousuf hält interessanterweise auch an „Zap“ eine wesentliche Beteiligung, einem kleinen amerikanischen Hersteller von Elektroautos.

Kaufkurs verbilligen
Vielleicht stocken die Arabar ihren Altair-Anteil noch einmal auf. Altair hatte ja erst vor drei Wochen die Ausgabe von 12 Millionen Aktien zu 1,17 Dollar angekündigt. Mit einem kompletten Kauf der neuen Aktien wäre Altair seine Probleme mit der Platzierung los und Al Yousuf könnte den durchschnittlichen Kaufkurs seines Investments kräftig drücken: Ende 2007 zahlten die Araber für ihr erstes Aktienpaket 3,50 Dollar pro Aktie und Ende 2008 waren es immerhin 1,70 Dollar.

Mögliche Vervielfachung
Es bleibt in jeder Hinsicht spannend bei Altair Nanotechnologies. Ein Investment ist allerdings hochspekulativ. Gelingt die Kommerzialisierung der Batterien-Technologie, kann sich der Titel vervielfachen, wenn nicht, wird man weiter aus Hilfe aus Dubai angewiesen sein. Risikofreudige Anleger spekulieren mit – aber nicht ohne Stopp bei 0,60 Euro. Am Freitag beendete die Aktie den Handel mit einem Plus von neun Prozent bei 1,05 Dollar, was in etwa 0,75 Euro entspricht.

@zweiluder fallende Kurse aber das ist ja garnichts neues
so langsam regt mich diese Aktie auf.. der Vorstand bedient sich schön in Form von fetten Jahresgehältern und Bonuszahlungen
und der Aktienkurs geht kontinuierlich auf Talfahrt...

Irgendwie kriegen die es einfach nicht auf die Reihe die blöden Akkus zur Marktreife zu bringen..

Das beste was passieren könnte wäre ein Aufkauf, der Nachfolger sollte dann den Vorstand ersetzen...

[ichbines]

Der Lithium-Titanat-Akkumulator ist eine Entwicklung von Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. und wird seit September 2006 unter dem Markennamen nanoSafe Battery ausgeliefert. Der Akkumulator ist laut Hersteller in einem Temperaturbereich von −35 °C bis +75 °C einsetzbar und hat eine Lebensdauer von mindestens 12 Jahren bzw. 20.000 Ladezyklen.[2] Er soll in etwa einer Minute auf über 80 % seiner Kapazität aufgeladen werden können und nach 15.000 Ladezyklen noch 85 % seiner Anfangskapazität erreichen. Zudem halte er Temperaturen bis 250 °C stand und könne selbst bei −30 °C auf 90 % seiner Nennkapazität aufgeladen werden. Er erreicht eine sehr hohe Leistungsdichte von ca. 4 kW/kg bei einer Energiedichte von 70–90 Wh/kg. Der Akkumulator birgt laut Hersteller nicht die Gefahr eines thermischen Durchgehens. Der Wirkungsgrad des Akkumulators liegt nach Aussage des Herstellers bei Normalladung bei 95 %, bei Schnellladung (in 10 Minuten) bei ca. 90 %, was inzwischen jedoch auch mit leicht modifizierten Lithium-Eisen-Phosphat Akkus möglich ist[3].

Die Energiedichte heutzutage in Elektroautos eingesetzter, konventioneller Lithium-Akkumulatoren beträgt ca. 120 Wh/kg und ist höher als jene der Lithium-Titanate-Akkumulatoren. Diese besitzen hingegen Vorteile bezüglich der Einsatzfähigkeit in einem größeren Temperaturbereich, der hohen Anzahl an Ladezyklen ohne signifikanten Kapazitätverlust, der hohen Leistungsdichte und fehlenden Gefahr eines thermischen Durchgehens. Er wird in den Elektroautos Lightning GT und Phoenix Motorcar zum Einsatz kommen. Ein weiteres Einsatzfeld dieses Akkutyps ist das Stromnetz in den USA, bei dem man große Akkublöcke mit Kapazitäten von über 2 MWh dazu nutzen möchte, Stromschwankungen auszugleichen und elektrische Energie aus Fotovoltaik- oder Windkraftanlagen zwischenzuspeichern. Auf diesem Gebiet arbeitet der amerikanische Stromkonzern AES Corporation in Zusammenarbeit mit Altair Nanotechnologies.

Welcher Hersteller baut auch solche Batterien???

Ein ganz kleinen Tipp, Tipp, Tipp...

Bloß niemals an der Börse hoffen.

Niemals, bloß Niemals hoffen.

Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt :-)

Glaube an das was Du machst, mit Herz und Seele.

Und Schade das in diesem Thread wieder gewisse Leute keine eigene Meinung haben, aber den PC bedienen können, kopieren und rein.

Wow, das ist ja was, mal schauen ob ich ein Buch finde was ich herein koieren kann

Altair hat verdammt gute Zukunfstaussichten, ich bin klein rein und glaube daran das der Batteriemarkt der nächste Boom wird.

Lithium, Smart Grid, Batterien...das müßte Zukunft sein und wenn die Börse wieder der Kleinanleger erreicht, dann wird alles explodieren....und dann schnell raus

Über Altair habe ich bis jetzt nichts gefunden. Aber Ener1 scheint gute Unterstützung zu bekommen. Altair hat auch Produktionsstätte in Indiana. Sollte wegen Arbeitsplätze auch etwas bekommen!



President Obama Announces EnerDel Will Receive $118.5 Million Grant

President Obama Announces EnerDel Will Receive $118.5 Million Grant
to Expand U.S. Advanced Automotive Lithium‐Ion Battery Production

Stimulus Award Plants Roots of Critical Industry Firmly in American Soil,
Will Help Double Manufacturing Capabilities at Indianapolis, Indiana Factories


INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ --- The White House today announced that Indiana-based automotive lithium-ion battery maker EnerDel, Inc., will receive $118.5 million in federal grant funding under the stimulus package passed last spring. The funds will help double the company's U.S. production capacity, creating approximately 1,700 new jobs in the state. Word came in separate speeches by President Obama in Elkhart, Indiana, and Vice President Joe Biden in Detroit, Michigan.

EnerDel, the lithium-ion battery subsidiary of Ener1, Inc. (Nasdaq: HEV - News), is one of nine companies selected to receive funds for cell, battery and materials manufacturing grants in a broadly subscribed solicitation managed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). EnerDel received the full amount it requested. In all, 48 companies in the electric and hybrid vehicle sector received a total of $2.4 billion in awards today.

"This is about planting the roots of a critical industry firmly in American soil," said Ener1 Chairman and CEO Charles Gassenheimer. "The economic benefits associated with this government investment will stretch far beyond the battery industry. Carmakers in North America, foreign and domestic, are counting on advanced battery systems to power an entire new generation of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles."

The grants will work together with the applied for long-term, low-interest loans under DOE's Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing program (ATVM), in unleashing private capital flows to companies in this sector. EnerDel is in advanced stages of discussions with DOE regarding its ATVM application.

"These government incentives will provide a powerful stimulus to a vital industry and help ensure that the batteries eventually powering millions of cars around the world carry the stamp 'Made in the USA,' Gassenheimer said.

EnerDel is the first and so far only company in the industry to have built facilities in the United States to produce automotive lithium-ion batteries on a commercial scale, and recently unveiled one of the most advanced battery cell production lines in the world at its plant in Indiana. The company also recently announced partnership projects with Volvo and Nissan, as well as with plug-in and electric vehicle makers Fisker and Think Global.

"We are in a race today that will decide who will make the technology to power future generations of fuel-efficient vehicles around the world," said EnerDel CEO Ulrik Grape. "Korea, Japan and China are doing everything they can to win it, but with these new resources, the Obama administration is helping America's best, most innovative players move ahead of the pack."

"Economic growth is not a Democratic or Republican issue. This effort has been a model of bi-partisan cooperation by Senators Richard Lugar and Evan Bayh, and by Governor Mitch Daniels," Grape said. "Their support has been tremendously important."

The funds will help EnerDel in mass producing a high-quality automotive product with a wide range of engineering capabilities for multiple automotive requirements, including high-speed, automated production lines for cell electrode manufacturing, and lean-manufacturing techniques for battery assembly.

Still in its early stages today, the lithium-ion battery industry is rapidly emerging as a manufacturing and high-tech corner stone in the world economy. Suppliers are already springing up to produce other electric drivetrain components and the materials needed to produce them, creating jobs and opportunity for communities across this country, many of them hard hit by the economic downturn.

Altair Nanotechnologies Reports Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results
Press Release
Source: Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc.
On Thursday August 6, 2009, 6:00 am EDT


http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Altair-Nanotechnologies-iw-219…

Hier die neuen Zahlen,
wie nicht anders zu erwarten wieder ziemlich duchwachsen.

Es gibt aber zwei neue Nachrichten die Hoffnung geben.


RENO, Nev. – August 6, 2009 – Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Altairnano) (Nasdaq: ALTI), a provider of energy storage systems for clean, efficient power and energy management, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported revenues of $(3,000). Actual gross revenues were $180,000 but this amount was offset by returns from prior years of $183,000.  These returns reduced sales for the current period because it is not the Company's normal practice to accept customer returns, and consequently a reserve for returns had not been established in prior years. This total second quarter revenue compares to $1.9 million in net revenue for the same period in 2008. The net loss was $6.4 million, or seven cents per share, compared to a net loss of $5.7 million, or seven cents per share, for the second quarter of 2008. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter were 97.4 million, compared to 84.5 million reported in the second quarter of 2008.
Operating expenses of $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2009 were $1.3 million less than the operating expenses of $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily a result of lower research and development costs associated with the smaller number of grants on which we are working in 2009 compared to 2008 and the reduced spending associated with the former Life Sciences and Performance Materials groups. 
The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased by $6.8 million, from $21.9 million at March 31, 2009 to $28.7 million at June 30, 2009. This is due primarily to net cash used in operations of approximately $5.8 million which includes the reduction of a restricted cash reserve of $0.5 million required to facilitate currency hedge agreements related to inventory purchases denominated in foreign currencies, purchases of fixed assets of approximately $0.2 million offset by our registered direct stock offering that raised $12.8 million.    
The Company's cash burn rate has been higher throughout the first half of 2009 than it was in the second half of 2008 and that trend is expected to continue into the second half of 2009 as the Company builds up inventory in anticipation of orders towards the end of 2009.  Related to the increased cash burn rate, product inventories are higher by $0.5 million and prepaid expenses by $1.2 million from their respective December 31, 2008 amounts.  The increase in prepaid expenses results almost entirely from a partial payment on the purchase of cells from the Company's Korean contract manufacturer.  "We have seen a significant slowdown in customer purchase activity as companies wait to see if they can secure funding from the Government as part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009" said Dr. Terry Copeland, Altairnano president and CEO, "but we anticipate that buying activity will begin to pick up as grant money awards are announced."
The Company's military business, while all still on track, is experiencing similar delays. The Company has been in frequent communication with the Army Research Office and the $1.8 million nanosensor grant that the Company expected in late 2008, is still awaiting contract formalization, and is now expected in mid-third quarter of this year. 
As payment for achieving certain milestones as specified in its contract with Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, the Company is also carrying shares of Spectrum stock with a cost basis of $1.1 million on its balance sheet. As a result of the increasing share price for this stock during the second quarter of 2009, the temporary impairment of $0.7 million that the Company had recorded against these securities as of March 31, 2009 was reversed and is now being carried on our balance sheet at a $0.7 million gain. However, the total amount reflected on the balance sheet in the "accumulated other comprehensive loss" account is still negative because of the ongoing impairment allowance associated with the Company's Auction Rate Securities.
Second Quarter 2009 Conference Call
Altairnano will hold a conference call to discuss its second quarter 2009 results on Thursday, August 6, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

@Merrick Der Augenöffner kam mit dem Konferenz- Call gestern Abend..
Langsam glaub ich's auch. Das Management von Altair ist einfach ein "Looser-Verein". Schwammige Aussagen, nichts greifbares in Aussicht gestellt.

Alleine die Tatsache, dass vor ein paar Monaten Fördergelder vom amerikanischen Staat in mehrstelliger Milionenhöhe an "Zukunftsbatterie-Hersteller" vergeben wurde und Altair von all den Unternehmen am Markt keinen Cent bekommen hat, sagt schon viel.

So long

Neuer Auftrag für Altair Nano: Akkus für Elektrobusse

06.08.2009 Alfred Maydorn
Am Mittwoch noch gab es lange Gesichter bei den Altair-Aktionären: Der Entwickler von Lithium-Titanat-Akkus ging bei der Vergabe der Obama-Milliarden für Elektroautos leer aus. Heute gab das Unternehmen die Auslieferung seiner Akkus an einen Busproduzenten bekannt.

Hallo
habe mal indikar eine mail gesendet.

sie sollen sich mal die nanosafebatterie von altair anschauen.

dann fährt der neue e-trabbi ca 400 km weit .

[Merrick]

Der nächste Schritt,

Was das Geld vom Staat betrifft, bin ich der Meinung das Altair
ein absolut konkurenzfähiges Produkt mit AltairNanosafe hat.
Warum also sollte der Staat, Geld in eine Firma stecken die schon gute Akkus produziert???

Analysts Bullish on Battery Stocks Ahead of Sector's Latest IPO
By the tickerspy.com Staff
On Thursday September 10, 2009, 12:33 pm EDT
Buzz up! 0 Print.Companies:Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc.CD Technologies Inc.Ford Motor Co.
As electric car interest grows, battery technology stocks have gotten more and more attention, most recently earning bullish sentiment from another analyst.

Related Quotes
Symbol Price Change
ALTI 1.0099 +0.0696




New battery technologies are used in everything from cell phones to fork lifts, and with a growing interest in electric transportation, a number of new investors have been drawn to the sector. Among those turning bullish on battery stocks is analyst Wedbush Morgan, which today initiated coverage of two Energy Storage and Battery Technology Stocks Index components.

Maxwell Technologies (NASDAQ: MXWL - News) was initiated with an Outperform rating at Wedbush Morgan, which cited the company's position for growth as well as near-term profitability. Maxwell's technologies have applications in everything from cars to consumer and industrial electronics.

Meanwhile, restructuring is the story for Milton, Georgia-based Exide Technologies (NASDAQ: XIDE - News), which was also initiated with an Outperform rating at Wedbush. Analyst Craig Irwin said, the company is, "well positioned to resume its successful restructuring with management's recent closure of plants in France and the U.K., and other actions matching production to lower unit demand." Thomas Weisel analyst Dilip Warrier also cited ongoing restructuring, upgrading the stock to Overweight from Market Weight.

According to The Wall Street Journal, A123 Systems could be the battery sector's next component. The company's IPO could be worth as much as $950 million based on the high end of the $8 to $9.50 per share terms set by underwriters.

As more automakers jump on the hybrid and electric car bandwagon, the importance of efficient and inexpensive battery technology will continue to grow. Toyota (NYSE: TM - News), Honda (NYSE: HMC - News), and Ford (NYSE: F - News) are already engaged in the hybrid market, and General Motors is hoping that the Chevy Volt will help it rebound from bankruptcy.

Investors looking to capitalize on further developments in battery technology can look to the Energy Storage and Battery Technology Stocks Index for idea generation applicable to various investment strategies. Components range from multi-billion dollar Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI - News) to micro-cap plays Altair Nanotechnologies (NASDAQ: ALTI - News) and C&D Technologies (NYSE: CHP - News).

Weil es nur Geld gibt wenn ein schlüssiges und Zukunftsweisendes Konzept dahinter steht. Es wurde ja bereits geschrieben dass Ener1 einen teil des Geldes bekam, da steckt also ein Konzept dahinter das auch Eigenmittelinvestition vorsieht ( vermute ich ).
Woher soll Altair diese Mittel nehmen? Erst wenn der Cashburn unter Kontrolle ist können sie investieren.

Der Kurssprung heute ist meiner Ansicht nach nicht fundamental begründet.

Kaufsignal aus Hawaii bei Batterie-Aktie für 0,70 Euro
Alfred Maydorn

Bei relativ hohen Umsätzen legte die Aktie des amerikanischen Batterie-Entwicklers Altair Nanotechnologies am Donnerstag in New York um über sieben Prozent zu und schloss über der wichtigen Marke von einem Dollar. Es gibt Gerüchte über einen Auftrag auf Hawaii.
Gerüchte machen Kurse - so auch gestern bei der Aktie von Altair Nano. Ein Management-Mitglied des Entwicklers von besonders leistungsfähigen Akkus soll am Freitag im Rahmen einer Konferenz mitgeteilt haben, dass sich sein Unternehmen um den Auftrag einer Installation seiner Lithium-Titanat-Akkus auf Hawaii bemühe. Mit den Akkus soll die in einer Solaranlage erzeugte Energie zwischengespeichert werden, um auch bei bewölktem Himmel eine kontinuierliche Strom­­versorgung gewährleisten zu können.

Solar statt Öl

Bis­her wird auf der zur Hawaii-Gruppe gehö­renden Insel Lanai der Strom mit einem ölbetriebenen Generator erzeugt. Dieser soll jetzt von einer Solaranlage abgelöst werden. Die Solarmodule soll Sunpower liefern, die Wechselrichter kommen von Satcon und die Akkus zum Zwischenspeichern soll Altair Nano beisteuern. Eine offizielle Pressemitteilung vom Unternehmen gibt es - zumindest bisher - nicht. Aber der Kurssprung der Aktie um sieben Prozent auf über einen Dollar deutet daraufhin, dass an der Hawaii-Story etwas dran sein könnte.

Ideale Lösung

Altair Nano entwickelt Lithium-Titanat-Akkumulatoren, die vor allem durch ihre schnelle Ladefähigkeit bestechen. Innerhalb von nur zehn Minuten lassen sich die Akkus wieder zu 90 Prozent aufladen. Dank dieser Eigenschaften und einer besonders langen Lebensdauer eignen sie sich ideal für den Einsatz in Elektroautos oder zum Zwischenspeichern von Strom in Solar- oder Windkraftwerken. Bisher hat das Unternehmen erst einige wenige Pilotprojekte laufen, insofern wäre der Hawaii-Auftrag als echter Meilenstein zu bewerten.



Vor dem Ausbruch

Die Aktie von Altair Nano schloss am Donnerstag in New York bei 1,01 Dollar und stieg nachbörslich auf 1,03 Dollar, was 0,71 Euro entspricht. Wenn sich das Gerücht bestätigt, könnte der Ausbruch über den charttechnischen Widerstand im Bereich 1,05/1,10 Dollar gelingen. Dann wäre der Weg bis 1,50 Dollar frei. Ein Investment in die Aktie ist hochspekulativ und sollte daher unbedingt mit einem Stoppkurs abgesichert werden. Hierfür bietet sich die Marke von 0,80 Dollar oder umgerechnet 0,55 Euro an.

Immerhin eine niveauanhebung von 0,65 auf 085 € ...
Es fehlt der große Elektroautodeal oder der starke Solarpartner... im Prinzip sind die Akkus ja wohl konkurrenzfähig nur anscheinend noch nicht klein genug für eine Autoserie, oder was meint ihr? Schwer einzuschätzen bei den geringen Infos, die das Untternehmen raushaut.

Nicht Hoffen, sondern Glauben.

Manchmal sind es einfach gewisse Trends an der Börse und dann braucht man Geduld.

Ich kann nicht ganz in das Unternehmen hereinschauen, aber die Nachrichten sind gut die man über dem Ticker liest.

Also kaufen wenn eine Aktie billig ist und nicht wenn sie teuer ist !!!

Sieht man sich mal den Tiefstand vom März 20009 an, dan ist die Aktie echt billig und im März das war Panik.

Advanced battery krebst aber genauso durch die Gegend, da tut sich genauso wenig.

Smart Grid ist momentan der Trend, davor waren es die Rohstoffe, wie Lithium die schon korriegiert haben, also die Batterien müßten bald auch dazu gehören, ohne Batterien geht ja nix :-)

Manchmal braucht man wohl einfach Geduld.

nur meine Einschätzung

Und bei allem nicht Vergessen, Altair hat bisher noch keine Gewinne gesehen.
Wenn die mal Gewinne sehen wird der Kurs nach oben schießen.

Advanced ist seit 2006 in der Gewinnzone.
Was den Kurs damals zusätzlich um 400% in die Höhe trieb und danach noch einmal im Hype um nochmalig 300%.
Den Widerstand fand Advance dann wieder beim Anfang des Höhenfluges von 2007.

Also abwarten und Tee trinken, am besten Ostfriesischen :-)

Step by step

All-American Zero-Emission Electric Bus Debuts on Capitol Hill Benefits Include Green Jobs, Oil and Carbon Reduction
Washington DC – October 29, 2009 – Proterra LLC, a Colorado-based manufacturer of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicle systems and transit buses, and Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI), a leading provider of energy storage systems for clean, efficient power and energy management, today introduced to Washington DC policymakers the only made-in-America electric rapid-charge hybrid bus that meets California's zero emission rules. 


Proterra's initial product, a thirty-five foot all-electric transit bus, has been designed from the ground up to enable transit agencies to replace conventional diesel buses on a one-for-one basis with the world's first all-electric buses operating 24/7. This is accomplished by combining Proterra's light-weight composite body, highly efficient ProDriveTM, advanced TerraVoltTM energy storage system (powered by Altairnano batteries) and on-route rooftop FastChargingTM station to charge the batteries in 5-10 minutes. The vehicle achieves between 18 and 29 miles per gallon diesel fuel equivalent fully loaded with 68 passengers – 500% better than a comparable diesel bus.


Production of Proterra's transit bus using lithium-titanate batteries supplied by Altairnano could create over 6,000 green jobs in 21 states. A fleet of 500 buses operating over 12 years could cut emissions of CO2 by 840,000 tons and reduce oil consumption by 82 million gallons.


"In addition to our advanced control systems, composite materials and overall design, Altairnano is providing a key building block with their unique, safe and long-lasting lithium-titanate batteries that make it possible for us to offer an ultra fast charging system that eliminates emissions for the world's heavy duty vehicles" said Jeffery Granato, Proterra's President and CEO. "To meet their stringent zero emission standards, California will be one of the first areas of the country to deploy this fast-charge battery-electric transit bus."


"Altairnano is extremely excited that Proterra selected our battery to power this remarkable vehicle," said Terry Copeland, President and CEO, Altairnano. "Proterra has designed a bus that will not only mean more green jobs for us and their other suppliers," continued Copeland, "but will put our nation at the forefront of producing state-of-the-art technology to address our most pressing environmental challenges."


Currently, 23 public transit agencies in 11 states (California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Washington) and the District of Columbia have submitted grant requests to obtain funds to purchase Proterra buses and charging stations. Additionally, Proterra is negotiating to supply the buses to several international customers.


In Washington for the week, Proterra and Altairnano executives and representatives of the Center for Transportation and Environment held meetings and bus tours with the Department of Transportation, the Department of Energy, leaders in the House of Representatives, and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.

Gute Nachrichten vom Chef persönlich

Letter from the CEO

Dear Stakeholders,

I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the recently announced Department of Energy (DOE) grant awards related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and its impact on Altairnano. While, our company was not specifically named as a direct recipient or participant with any of the utilities that were selected to receive the grants, the good news is that the cloud of uncertainty has been lifted. Now companies know which capital projects will receive funding and which will have to be self funded.


There appears to be a concern that the only activity in the stationary power market is that activity directly linked to these government grants. I'd like to dispel the myth that the only utility-scale storage projects that will be taking place in the next few years are those associated with these grants. Fortunately, this myth couldn't be further from the truth. Of the 50+ project opportunities that Altairnano is actively pursuing today with different potential customers, only a few of them are linked in some way to the ARRA grant process.


As stated in recent earnings calls, as well as by DOE officials the ARRA had the unfortunate effect of slowing down investment in the alternative energy arena rather than speeding it up. In fact, most companies decided to put planned projects on hold to first see if they could secure government funding to pursue them rather than spending their own capital. Now that the recipients of the DOE grants have been announced, the uncertainty surrounding funding availability has been removed and companies should return to more normal business practices.


Our Solutions and Near-term Opportunities


It is important to remember that Altairnano's strength as an energy storage provider is not just in our storage capability, but rather in our distinctive power capability. Our technology is unique in that it can discharge and recharge tremendous amounts of power within minutes. And there are challenges facing utilities today, both frequency regulation and renewables integration, which our Energy Storage Solution (ESS) can perfectly address.


We are in advanced discussions with a number of potential customers such as:

Major utilities both in the U.S. and foreign countries to help them solve specific grid related problems where frequency regulation is bought and sold on the open market.
Vertically integrated utility operators outside of the ISO markets that are much more aware of and keenly interested in the role that storage will play in strengthening their power quality and reliability.
Rural electric co-ops in the U.S., many of which are concerned with having large loads at the "end-of-the-line" where sudden shifts in demand can affect the voltage of the entire upstream system.
While the global recession and the introduction of the ARRA have delayed investments in grid storage systems, we remain very optimistic with respect to our long-term business prospects in this sector. During the past several months, we have seen increased customer quote activity for our products.

Another Viable Market: Mass Transit

We also believe that our prospects in the mass transit market are very bright at this time. For example, our relationship with Proterra represents an exciting opportunity for us. The Proterra bus has been successfully operating in South Carolina for several months, and we expect another to be delivered to the City of Burbank, California before the end of 2009. Foothill Transit Authority in the Los Angeles area has ordered three Proterra buses, and one has been requested by Ft. Lewis in Washington State. In total, 23 public transit agencies in 11 states and the District of Columbia have submitted grant requests to obtain funds to purchase Proterra buses.

Most recently, on October 29, in partnership with Proterra, we completed an important demonstration in Washington, DC for representatives from the Department of Transportation, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, and for members of both the US House of Representatives and the Senate. The response was enthusiastic across the board, and encouraging for both Altairnano and Proterra.

The above activity represents only a portion of the opportunities that we are currently pursuing and I am very enthusiastic about Altairnano's future.


Sincerely,



Terry Copeland, PhD

IEEE Launches Revision to Standard for Rechargeable Cellular Batteries

­The IEEE has approved work to begin on a revision to IEEE Std 1725, "Standard for Rechargeable Batteries for Cellular Telephones." The standard addresses the quality and reliability of rechargeable lithium ion and lithium ion polymer batteries for cellular telephone applications.

"The cellular industry has grown tremendously since IEEE Std 1725 was first approved in 2006, as have the patterns of people using cellular phones," said Jason Howard, chair of the Cell Phone Battery Working Group, which will be in charge of updating the standard. "With today's consumers demanding more processing strength and better power management from their phones, it is time for us to review and revise the standard to make sure that it covers the latest developments in battery technology and industry knowledge."

In addition to setting criteria for design analysis for qualification, quality, and reliability of rechargeable lithium ion and lithium ion polymer batteries, the standard also addresses battery pack electrical and mechanical construction, packaging technologies, and pack and cell level charge and discharge controls and overall system considerations.

The revision effort, IEEE P1725, is being developed within the IEEE Standards Association Corporate Program in which each participating member entity (such as corporations or other institutions) has one vote. This industry-oriented program often allows for standards creation in one to two years, depending on participant commitment and the use of IEEE support services. The program also provides a route to international acceptance for a standard based on the IEEE's broad ties to the international standards community.

The standard is sponsored by the Stationary Batteries Committee of the IEEE Power & Energy Society.

The Cell Phone Battery Working Group will hold its first meeting during February 2010 in Washington, DC. The meeting will serve to review and refine the group's processes and procedures and to nominate and elect the group's officers. The existing standard will also be reviewed at this first meeting, and other dates and locations for future meetings will be established

...als wenn das Segment gewechselt wird, an die OTC, dann ist es höchste Zeit die Aktie zu verkaufen, meine Meinung

[Charly_2]

Short Interest nimmt laufend zu:

Endlich mal etwas Handfestes und das vom CEO selbst

April 2010 - Letter from the President

Dear Stakeholders,

I would like to make you aware of several notable events that occurred during the first quarter of 2010. These events include completion of a study designed to assess the health effects of exposure to our lithium titanate and attending a demonstration of the Proterra zero-emission electric bus at our Reno headquarters.

Safety Study – Lithium titanate

Altairnano, a provider of energy storage systems for clean, efficient power and energy management, is nearing completion of a study of toxicity in connection with our Lithium titanate ("LTO"). LTO, which is manufactured at our Reno, Nevada facility, is a key building block of the lithium-ion based battery cells used in Altairnano's energy storage systems, mass transit and military battery products. The study was performed under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, known as the CRADA study, with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") with the objective to complete a full assessment of the toxicity of various exposures to our manufactured LTO. The study was undertaken over a period of 12 months with significant testing completed by the end of March 2010 and a full report anticipated for May of this year.

The health and safety of workers on the manufacturing floor is of primary importance to Altairnano. As part of our comprehensive Employee Health and Safety Program, minimal exposure of workers to particulate materials through use of personal protective equipment and effective engineering controls is designed into the LTO manufacturing process. Since the study of toxicity in connection with nano-sized materials is a relatively new scientific focus with only a limited number of studies completed to date, Altairnano felt it was important to conduct this study in order to understand any potential risks to employee safety and underscore our commitment to manufacturing clean, environmentally safe products.

Generally speaking, foreign particulate materials of any kind such as dust, smoke, diesel exhaust, etc. are well-known to have effects on human lung function. The degree of irritation noted in throat and lung tissues varies widely, however, depending upon the specific material tested. In this study, LTO-exposed lung tissues of laboratory animals were examined and compared to identically treated saline-exposed and silica-exposed tissues. In both cases, the impacts of saline and silica are known and act as a comparative positive control. The laboratory testing was controlled and performed by the EPA and a qualified third-party consultant was engaged by Altairnano to examine and assess the test results.

Pathology scores generated for LTO-exposed throat and lung tissues were consistently low, which indicates that LTO acts as a mildly irritative stimulant. There was no noted damage to the delicate lung tissues, and no dramatic immune presence to indicate bacterial or viral infection was observed. Altairnano is very pleased with the positive results of the study and the reassurance it provides regarding the safety of our LTO.

Proterra Bus Demonstration

On Friday, March 19th, with great anticipation, the staff at the Reno headquarters had the opportunity to view and ride aboard the Proterra zero-emission electric bus that was welcomed on Capital Hill in October of 2009. The thirty-five foot all-electric transit bus has been designed from the ground up and combines Proterra's light-weight composite body, highly efficient ProDriveTM, advanced TerraVoltTM energy storage system (powered by Altairnano batteries) and on-route rooftop FastChargingTM station to charge the batteries in 5-10 minutes. The well thought out design results in less weight than gas powered buses in operation today, more seating (up to 68 passengers), a smooth ride, longer overall anticipated operating life, that works in concert with the quick charge capability of the Altairnano batteries incorporated. After an introduction led by Proterra marketing staff, the Altairnano staff was treated to a demonstration drive. The reactions to the clean, quite ride, maneuverability, and nearly instantaneous power were shared among the group with such words as "incredible", "an amazing engineering feat", and "revolutionary". Select pictures taken at the event are included below.






We are happy that Proterra took the time to stop by, are excited to support their electric bus product development efforts and look forward to their implementation on a commercial basis. As you may be aware they will be building a plant in Greenville, South Carolina, with a capacity of 1500 buses per year. They expect to start production at that facility early in 2011.

Sincerely,



Terry Copeland
President & CEO
Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc.

[BrandisCgn]

"Altairnano is extremely excited that Proterra selected our battery to power this remarkable vehicle," said Terry Copeland, President and CEO, Altairnano. "Proterra has designed a bus that will not only mean more green jobs for us and their other suppliers," continued Copeland, "but will put our nation at the forefront of producing state-of-the-art technology to address our most pressing environmental challenges."

Das ist ein Zitat von 2009. Ich fände es ja auch toll, wenn der CEO mal was zu verkünden hätte, was den Kurs ein bisschen antreibt. Aber dieses Statement erinnert mich doch eher an das Pfeifen im Wald...

Hallo @ all
Bin seit kurzem auch dabei und muss sagen, das dies die erste Aktie ist, wo ich wenig DD gemacht habe. Bauch und einige wichtige Zeilen in der Wirtschaftspresse haben mich hier einsteigen lassen.

Gibt es hier einige "Techniker", die mir mehr input geben können als wikipedia
Altair Nanotechnologies, kurz „AltairNano", ist ein Forschungsunternehmen in Reno, das sich mit der Entwicklung von auf Nanotechnologie basierenden Lösungen für Energiespeicherung und Medizintechnik beschäftigt. Das wichtigste Produkt der Firma ist der „NanoSafe" genannte Lithium-Titanat-Akkumulator, der für den Einsatz in Elektrofahrzeugen, als stationärer Energiespeicher oder als Notstromaggregat in Schiffen Verwendung finden kann. Die Aktien werden an der US-Börse Nasdaq gehandelt, Börsenkürzel „ALTI".

Bei dem „NanoSafe"-Lithium-Titanat-Akkumulator von AltairNano wird die konventionelle Graphit-Anode durch eine aus Lithium-Titanat ersetzt. Die herausragenden Eigenschaften sind die Schnellladeeigenschaften (1 min bis zur 80%-Ladung, 10 Minuten bis zur 100%-Ladung), eine lange Lebensdauer und die Temperatur-Unabhängigkeit. Nachteile sind der hohe Preis auf Grund niedriger Fertigungskapazitäten und die gegenüber konventionellen Lithium-Ionen-Akkus geringeren Ladungsdichte.

Das US-Patent zur Nutzung dieser Technologie wurde im Dezember 2007 erteilt. Trotz bedeutender Beteiligungen von Eric Schmidt (CEO von Google) und anderen Investoren sowie großem Interesse der US-Marine an den NanoSafe-Batterien als Notstromaggregat in Schiffen ist der kommerzielle Durchbruch noch nicht gelungen.


Der Batterie-Markt ist unbestritten einer der interessantesten Bereiche, der nächsten 5 Jahre. Das richtige Unternehmen zu finden, muss das Ziel sein und da sind Batterietechniker und Insider gefragt.....
Ich arbeite leider nicht bei Varta oder...?

Bin aber mit QTWW bereits in einem ähnlichen Markt investiert und dort wird mit Fisker Auto in den nächsten 24 Monaten der Deckel abfliegen...

Bin also für jede Info - auch per bm dankbar.
Ich werde i.d. nächsten Monaten selbst Infos sammeln und sie hier einstellen.
Auf gute Kurse

[zopa]

Seit eben auch an Bord geklettert !

[toller]

bi ja überrascht, dass nochmal ein bischen Bewegung in Alti kommt. Bin seit 2003 dabei und hab ab und an mal zu richtigen Zeitpunkt abgestossen und manchmal auch zum falschen nachgekauft oder nicht verkauft...;-)

jedenfalls erfreulich, dass ALTI lt. Artikel im Manager Magazin (eigentlich ja kein Pusher Magazin..;-))

als geheimtipp gehandelt wird:
http://www.manager-magazin.de/geld/geldanlage/0,2828,692730-…

[rp75]

ich hab auf jedenfall 17000stk zu 0.47€ das reicht erstmal.

wenns nicht mehr grossartig runter geht werde ich die etwas länger halten



Das US-Unternehmen entwickelt die für Elektroautos besonders gut geeigneten Lithium-Titanat-Akkus - und tüftelt an einer Methode, die Ladezeiten dieser Speicher immer weiter zu verkürzen.

Schlummert also in den Altair-Papieren das ganz große Geld? Was passieren kann, wenn beim Thema Elektroauto zur rechten Zeit aufs richtige Unternehmen gesetzt wird, hat ausgerechnet US-Starinvestor Warren Buffett vorexerziert. Der Investmentguru erwarb im September 2008 Anteile an BYD, da stand die Aktie noch bei knapp acht Hongkong-Dollar. Inzwischen notiert das Unternehmen oberhalb von 65 Hongkong-Dollar - eine Rendite von mehreren hundert Prozent also, von der viele Privatanleger noch träumen dürften.

RENO, NV -- 05/06/10 -- Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI), a provider of energy storage systems for clean, efficient power and energy management, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Recent Highlights

Continued our long-term supply relationship with Proterra and accepted an additional order for $850,000 to supply battery modules over the coming months.
Substantial progress towards closure of an international sale of a 10MW complete ALTI-ESS system solution for a frequency regulation application.
Completed the sale of our AlSher joint venture interest to Sherwin-Williams and exit from the Performance Materials market.
Final payment made on our Reno headquarters property debt.
Initiation of research coverage by two new analysts for a total of three analysts that now cover Altairnano.
Financial Highlights for first quarter 2010 compared to 2009

Revenue of $1.2 million compared to $0.9 million.
Gross margin of $0.3 million compared to $0.5 million.
Operating expenses of $6.4 million compared to $6.9 million.
Net loss of $6.1 million compared to $6.4 million.
Net cash burn of $5.8 million compared to $6.1 million.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Altairnano reported revenues of $1.2 million, up from $0.9 million for the same period in 2009. This increase is the result of a higher level of contract and grant activity with the Office of Naval Research and the Department of Defense compared to 2009 which are expected to continue throughout most of 2010. Operating expenses of $6.4 million for the first quarter of 2010 were down $0.5 million from operating expenses of $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2009. The net loss was $6.1 million, or six cents per share, compared to a net loss of $6.4 million, or seven cents per share, for the first quarter of 2009. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter were 105.1 million, compared to 93.0 million reported in the first quarter of 2009.

Altairnano's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $5.8 million, from $18.1 million at December 31, 2009 to $12.3 million at March 31, 2010. This is due primarily to net cash used in operations of approximately $4.7 million, $1.2 million of which was for increased product inventories; investing activities primarily consisting of purchases of fixed assets of approximately $0.4 million; and financing activities of $0.7 million that is primarily the payment of the final installment of the debt on our Reno property.

Altairnano's cash burn rate of about $1.9 million per month is consistent with what it was in the second half of 2009. Altairnano has been building up inventory of component parts with three to six month lead times in anticipation of sales expected in the near term.

"We continue to experience an increased level of customer requests for quotes compared to the first half of 2009," said Dr. Terry Copeland, Altairnano's president and CEO. "We are working diligently with these prospective customers to translate this increased sales quote activity into firm orders which will in turn provide us with a larger revenue stream and referenceable customer base."

RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 06/02/10 -- Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI), a leading provider of energy storage systems for clean, efficient power and energy management, today announced roles and responsibility changes among its Board of Directors since the annual shareholders' meeting last week.

The Company's existing seven directors were reelected to serve by an overwhelming majority for the coming year during last week's annual shareholder meeting. In the board meeting held immediately after the annual shareholder meeting, Mr. Jon Bengtson asked the board to consider naming Pierre Lortie as the Chairman for the coming year instead of himself as a result of Mr. Lortie's extensive international and leadership experience. Based on the Company's current opportunities he felt this change would best provide the Company with the guidance needed to help it successfully through its next stage of international commercial development and expansion. The Board approved the change on a unanimous vote. Mr. Bengtson was then appointed chair of the Audit Committee, a position he previously held, and Mr. Robert van Schoonenberg was appointed chair of the Compensation, Corporate Governance&Nominations Committee replacing Mr. Lortie in that role.

Mr. Lortie has been a director of the Company since 2006 and currently serves on both the Audit Committee and the Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominations Committee. He is presently a senior business advisor to Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP, one of Canada's leading full service business law firms, and is a past president of Bombardier's transportation, capital, international and regional aircraft aerospace groups. He brings a wealth of international commercial and government leadership experience to his new role as Chairman of the Board.

In addition, a resolution authorizing the board, at their discretion without further action from shareholders, to effect a reverse stock split in the range of 3:1 to 10:1 was also overwhelmingly approved at the annual shareholder meeting. A primary reason for seeking authority to effect a reverse stock split was to try to ensure that the Company is not delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market. The board believes that the Company's common shares will qualify for the 180 day additional grace period for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market when its initial 180 day period ends in late June. As a result, the board has decided not to immediately implement a reverse split. As conditions change, however, it may determine to execute the reverse split at any time prior to May 1, 2011.

Altair Nanotechnologies Signs Long-Term Supply Agreement With Proterra Inc. to Power Proterra's Electric and Hybrid Transit Buses
RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 06/24/10 -- Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI) today announced it has signed a long-term supply agreement with Proterra Inc. to supply advanced lithium-ion battery modules for incorporation into Proterra's all-electric and hybrid-electric buses. Altairnano's technology enables these buses to completely recharge in under 10 minutes, providing high levels of uptime and efficiency. Combined with industry-leading cycle life, these batteries are ideally suited for the challenging operating conditions experienced by commercial transit buses.
The initial purchase order of $4.6 million is for delivery of modules through June 2011 with ongoing orders anticipated thereafter as Proterra continues to gain customer traction and completes its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Greenville, SC. This is a follow-on order to the two earlier orders announced in August 2009 and April 2010.
"This purchase and supply agreement represents a significant milestone and illustrates the growth opportunities present within the mass transit market," said Terry Copeland, President and Chief Executive officer of Altairnano. "This transaction marks the culmination of more than two years of collaboration with Proterra," continued Copeland. "The conclusion of Proterra's research was that Altairnano's advanced lithium-ion battery modules are a perfect fit for Proterra's transit bus application. We look forward to working together to bring these new electric buses to market and delivering on the promise of more cost effective and sustainable transportation solutions."
Under the terms of this new agreement Altairnano will supply advanced battery modules for use in Proterra's electric and hybrid-electric buses being marketed to municipalities and transportation authorities throughout the Americas and Europe. The two companies will work closely together to drive down the overall costs of the end product to the customer and add near-term credibility to the promise of a greener, more energy independent nation in the mass-transit arena.
"About a year-and-half ago we focused the company on mass transit and stationary power applications. We have been steadily building our sales pipeline over the past year and a number of those opportunities are now coming to fruition," continued Dr. Copeland. "We are continuing to commercialize our battery technology for the stationary power, transportation and defense markets in challenging operating environments where safety, performance and long-life are valued."
"Incorporating Altair's battery technology is a key enabler for Proterra to achieve its mission to deliver the only viable low-cost, zero emission battery electric transit buses that are a viable one-for-one replacement for conventional diesel buses," said Jeff Granato, Chief Executive Officer of Proterra. "Proterra's products have never been more relevant given our current global environmental and economic circumstances to decrease dependence on foreign oil and significantly reduce transit agency operating costs."

Altairnano Receives 180-Day Listing Extension From NASDAQ

RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 06/28/10 -- Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI) today announced that NASDAQ in a letter dated June 22, 2010, granted the Company an additional 180 days to regain compliance with NASDAQ's $1.00 minimum bid price rule, Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The receipt of this extension is consistent with the company's expectations, as it met all initial inclusion criteria for the NASDAQ Capital Market with the exception of the bid price.

If at any time before December 20, 2010, the bid price of the company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days (subject to extension to 20 days in NASDAQ's discretion), the Company will regain compliance with the rule. If the company has not regained compliance by the end of this second grace period, it will receive notification that its shares are subject to delisting. At that point the Company may then appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

A resolution was recently passed in the Company's May 2010 Annual and Special Shareholder meeting which authorized the board of directors to execute a reverse stock split in the range of 3:1 to 10:1. The authorization for the reverse stock split provides the Board with an option to help the Company retain its listing on NASDAQ in the event that it does not regain compliance during the grace period. However, as a result of this grace period extension, the Board intends to postpone the consideration of a reverse stock split. The Company shall continue to seek compliance with the minimum bid price rule through revenue growth and other positive operational achievements.

ich mache noch ein wenig DD...und stoße auf folgenden komentar im yahoo board der sehr nah an der wahrheit sein könnte:


[i]You may have gotten on board at just the right time, It's a hard ride from $5 to .30cents.... there is your bitterness.

The reasons it is so cheap...has not made a dime yet. Lots of hype over the years and no prophets. It seems like things are going their way, but they told us things would be going good 2 years ago when a little company named Phoenix motor cars was to be teh "Lightning of it's day." Before Proterra there was "designline" and that didn't work out. So people are either "tuned out" or untrusting at this point. I've been in 2 years and am down 80% or so.

For what it's worth. Flip this on the next spike or put this stock away for a while and do your best to forget about it, pretend it is a lotto tick that never expires. If you try to trade it, you will get hooked and cooked. There is no ryme or reaoson to it's moves over a long period of time. Take the 25% down move a few days back, that was just some hedge fund pushing all the little fish like us around for no "good" reason but to raise cash (IMO). I was ready to buy at .40 and all of a sudden, it was .30![/i]

hi zusammen, habe ich in schweizer blog gefunden, sollte die den tatsachen entsprechen
dann werden an durchstarten

Der Grund des extremen Anstieges ist offenbar der Proterra-Bus, gestern sind drei Stück davon in Betrieb gegangen.
http://www.energyboom.com/emerging/cleaning-urban-air-one-ec…

Bis jetzt sind es 3 Busse, bis Ende 2011 sollen es 100 sein, 2012 dann nochmal 250 Stück. Nicht schlecht. Die Zahlen sind eher Wurst, aber was das Entscheidende ist, ist dass die Batterien von ALTI offenbar auch in der Praxis gut funktionieren und Proterra stark darauf setzt.

Gestern am Abend sackte die Aktie dann wieder leicht ab, denke mal Gewinnmitnahmen, denn manche haben da bestimmt 20-30% an einem Tag gemacht. Heute hat die Aktie den Höhenflug wieder aufgenommen.
Tageshoch waren 0,64 $, das sind fast 0,50 €. Aktuell gehts wieder etwas runter, genau wie gestern. Gewinne absichern übers lange Wochenende.

[coolrunning]

Altair marschiert nur dahin, wo sie herkam.
Die Aktie ist runtergeprügelt worden. Systematisch und mit Erfahrung entsprechender Profis.
Schaut euch die news der vergangenen 12 Monate an, mit allen Aussichten.
Dann seht ihr, dass der Boden sehr tief gesetzt worden ist.

Commercial Applications of Lithium Titanate Batteries for Mass Transit
Advanced Li-Ion cells are a critical enabling technology for the market-readiness and commercialization of mass transit and heavy-duty hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications. Many commercially available battery technologies available to mass transit and heavy-duty HEV/PHEV transportation applications are based on Nickel Cadmium or Nickel Metal Hydride. These technologies often fail to meet the extended-life requirements for making commercial, mass transit and heavy-duty HEV/PHEV vehicles an economically viable solution. Additional barriers include loss in discharge power under extreme temperatures and general power fade over time. Discover innovations in Li-Ion cells (11 Ah and 50Ah configurations) that replace graphite with a proprietary, high-surface area lithium-titanate oxide based anode material resulting in distinctive performance attributes including fast charge/discharge rates, high round-trip efficiencies, long cycle life, safety and ability to operate under extreme temperatures.

AltairNano
Altair Nanotechnologies, kurz „AltairNano", ist ein Forschungsunternehmen in Reno, das sich mit der Entwicklung von auf Nanotechnologie basierenden Lösungen für Energiespeicherung und Medizintechnik beschäftigt. Das wichtigste Produkt der Firma ist der „NanoSafe" genannte Lithium-Titanat-Akkumulator, der für den Einsatz in Elektrofahrzeugen, als stationärer Energiespeicher oder als Notstromaggregat in Schiffen Verwendung finden kann. Die Aktien werden an der US-Börse Nasdaq gehandelt, Börsenkürzel „ALTI".

Bei dem „NanoSafe"-Lithium-Titanat-Akkumulator von AltairNano wird die konventionelle Graphit-Anode durch eine aus Lithium-Titanat ersetzt. Die herausragenden Eigenschaften sind die Schnellladeeigenschaften (1 min bis zur 80%-Ladung, 10 Minuten bis zur 100%-Ladung), eine lange Lebensdauer und die Temperatur-Unabhängigkeit. Nachteile sind der hohe Preis auf Grund niedriger Fertigungskapazitäten und die gegenüber konventionellen Lithium-Ionen-Akkus geringeren Ladungsdichte.

Das US-Patent zur Nutzung dieser Technologie wurde im Dezember 2007 erteilt. Trotz bedeutender Beteiligungen von Eric Schmidt (CEO von Google) und anderen Investoren sowie großem Interesse der US-Marine an den NanoSafe-Batterien als Notstromaggregat in Schiffen ist der kommerzielle Durchbruch noch nicht gelungen.

RENO, NV -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/01/10 -- Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a 4-for-1 share consolidation ratio, or reverse stock split ratio (one post-consolidation share for every four pre-consolidation shares), that will become effective immediately following the closing of trading on November 15, 2010. The consolidated common shares will begin trading on a post-consolidation basis on November 16, 2010 on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

"The primary objective in effecting the reverse stock split at this time is to better enable the Company to maintain its listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market and to attract a broader range of investors to the Company," said Terry Copeland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Altair Nanotechnologies.

Based on 108,062,315 shares outstanding at September 30, 2010 and excluding the effects of rounding of fractional shares, the number of outstanding shares following the 4:1 consolidation would be 27,015,578. Any fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable under the Company's outstanding warrants and stock options will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Registered stockholders immediately following the closing of trading on November 15, 2010 will receive a Letter of Transmittal from the Company's transfer agent, Equity Financial Trust Company, with specific instructions regarding the exchange of shares.

Altair Nanotechnologies Reports Third Quarter 2010 Financial Results
RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 11/04/10 -- Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI), a provider of advanced lithium-ion battery technologies and systems, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.
"In the third quarter we took a major step forward in securing our financial future. In September, we entered into a Share Subion Agreement with Canon Investment Holdings whereby they will invest $48.9 million into the company in return for a controlling interest. We also signed a concurrent supply and license agreement with Zhuhai Yintong Energy Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Canon, that provides access to the vast Chinese market," said Dr. Terry Copeland, Altairnano's president and CEO. "We are excited about the potential that the Canon and YTE relationship creates for both of our companies."
Recent Highlights
On September 20, 2010 we signed a Share Subion Agreement and related documents with Canon Investment Holdings Ltd. whereby Canon has agreed to purchase newly issued shares of the Company's common stock providing the Company with $48.9M in capital. Upon closing, Canon will have a 51% ownership stake in the Company calculated on a fully diluted basis.
On September 20, 2010 we signed a purchase and license agreement with Zhuhai Yintong Energy Co. Ltd. (YTE) pursuant to which YTE has agreed to purchase $6.6 million of product before the end of 2011. On November 1, 2010, YTE placed a purchase order for the first $2.2 million of this contract and accelerated its delivery into the fourth quarter of this year.
As a result of the Canon investment the At the Market financing vehicle with Thomas Weisel Partners was suspended.
We began delivering battery modules under the long-term Proterra contract announced in our Q2 earnings release.
We introduced an Altairnano battery applications kit that will enable prospective customers to experiment with our battery for use and applicability in their specific development efforts.
Our Board of Directors made the decision to remain a Canadian corporation and not change our domestication to the State of Nevada.
Our Board of Directors made the decision to execute a 4:1 reverse stock split at the close of business on November 15, 2010.
Financial Highlights for third quarter 2010 compared to third quarter 2009
Revenue of $2.0 million compared to $1.7 million.
Gross margin of $0.5 million compared to $1.1 million.
Operating expenses of $5.8 million compared to $5.3 million.
Net loss of $5.3 million compared to $3.3 million.
Net cash burn of $0.7 million compared to $4.8 million.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, Altairnano reported revenues of $2.0 million, up from $1.7 million for the same period in 2009. This increase is the result of higher battery product sales, contract and grant activity with the Office of Naval Research and the Department of Defense. Gross margin was lower by $0.6 million primarily as a result of one-time royalty revenue of $0.8 million with no offsetting cost of goods sold for our Spectrum transaction during the third quarter of 2009. Operating expenses increased $0.5 million to $5.8 million from $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2009 primarily as a result of higher R&D expense. The net loss attributable to Altairnano was $5.3 million, or five cents per share, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million, or three cents per share, for the third quarter of 2009. In addition to the margin and operating expense drivers described above, our third quarter 2009 results also benefited from the $0.8 million gain on the sale of our Spectrum common stock. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter were 107.2 million, compared to 105.1 million reported in the third quarter of 2009.
Altairnano's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.7 million, from $8.2 million at June 30, 2010 to $7.5 million at September 30, 2010. This is primarily due to net cash used in operations of approximately $0.2 million, the bulk of which went to cover normal compensation and non-labor expenses, $0.2 million was for increased product inventories, offset by $1.8 million in decreased accounts receivable and an increase of $1.6 million in deferred revenue; investing activities primarily consisting of purchases of fixed assets of approximately $0.1 million; and financing activities of $(0.5) million that is comprised mainly of the costs associated with the forthcoming Canon investment. Third quarter 2009 results reflected a net cash increase as a result of the $2.0 million sale of the Company's available for sale securities (Spectrum common stock).
Altairnano's third quarter net cash burn rate of about $0.2 million per month represents a significant improvement compared to the first half of 2010, but is a timing aberration rather than a fundamental change in the business.
"Because we have not yet reached the point of a stable, consistent baseline revenue stream, individual orders can have a magnified impact on our cash consumption," added Copeland. "For the first nine months of 2010 our net cash consumption averaged a little less than $1.2 million per month."
Third Quarter 2010 Conference Call
Altairnano will hold a conference call to discuss its third quarter 2010 results on Thursday, November 4, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Shareholders and members of the investment community are invited to participate in the conference call. The dial-in number for both U.S. and international callers is [phone]. Please dial in to the conference five minutes before the call is scheduled to begin. Ask the operator for the Altair Nanotechnologies call.
An audio replay of the conference call will be available from 2:00 p.m. EDT, Thursday, November 4, until Midnight EDT, November 11, 2010. It can be accessed by dialing [phone] and entering conference number 19479525.
Additionally, the conference call and replay will be available online for 90 days, and can be accessed by visiting Altairnano's web site, www.altairnano.com.

der Vorteil ist das die Aktie so "kein" Pennystock mehr ist und weiterhin an der Börse gelistet bleibt.
Der Wert der gesamten Aktien bleibt so gut wie gleich.

Zhuhai Yintong Energy to Buy 51% of Altair Nano | TradingMarketscom
Zhuhai Yintong Energy is expecting its shareholder Nasdaqtraded Altair
Nanotechnologies IncNASDAQ ALTID to approve the sales plan ...
<http://www.tradingmarkets.com/news/stock-alert/alti_zhuhai-y…

habe mit Bank telefoniert und der tausch kann bis zu 3 wochen sich verzögern

[Gekko279]

Gibt es Neuigkeiten zu dem Deal mit Hawai'i Electric Light Company?

[Henry84]

In dem Artikel von TradingMarketscom zu Zhuhai Yintong Energy steht, dass sie 51% von Altair Nano für 49 Mio USD übernehmen wollen.

Wenn ich es richtig sehe, dann gibt es 108 Mio alte Aktien (27 Mio neue Aktien). Dann entspräche das Angebot 0,89 USD (ca. 0,66 EUR) pro alte Aktie (= 3,56 USD (ca. 2,64 EUR) pro neue Aktie).

Habe ich richtig gerechnet? Dann wäre vielleicht etwas Phantasie für einen 50%igen Kursanstieg in der Aktie.

[Gekko279]

Wo finde ich die aktuelle Aktionärsstruktur?

Altair Nanotechnologies Announces Shareholder Approval of Canon Transaction
RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 12/28/10 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI) today announced that on December 27, 2010, it held a special meeting of its shareholders to consider and vote upon the issuance and sale of common shares of the Company to Canon Investment Holdings Limited ("Canon") pursuant to the Share Subscription Agreement dated as of September 20, 2010 by and between Canon and the Company, in an amount such that, immediately following the share issuance, Canon will be the beneficial owner of 51% of the Company's outstanding common shares on a fully diluted basis, and to approve a one-time option exchange program for the Company's employees. As shown in the following table, shareholders approved the two proposals by a substantial margin:


----------------------------------------------------------
Votes
Votes Withheld/
Votes For Against Abstained
----------------------------------------------------------
Common Share Issuance
Proposal 34,921,678 3,369,934 111,208

Option Exchange
Program Proposal 31,118,731 6,874,982 409,106
----------------------------------------------------------

Although there are a number of conditions that must be satisfied in order to close the Canon transaction, the two major milestones are first, the receipt of shareholder approval, and second, a determination by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS"), to take no adverse action with respect to the Canon transactions following its national security review. With today's vote the shareholder approval milestone has been met.

The CFIUS review process was initiated by the Company and Canon jointly filing a voluntary notice on November 23, 2010 to CFIUS requesting review of the proposed transaction. Under the governing regulations, CFIUS has a period of 30 days to review the notification and may, at the end of such period, initiate a 45-day investigation of the transaction. On December 27, 2010, the Company received written notification from CFIUS that it intended to commence such an investigation. The 45-day period expires on February 10, 2011, though it is possible CFIUS' investigation could close sooner. CFIUS has not provided information with respect to its reasons for proceeding with the investigation; however, decisions by CFIUS to initiate 45-day investigations have been on the rise over the last couple of years. For example, during 2009, CFIUS initiated 45-day investigations in approximately 40% of the transactions that were notified to CFIUS; almost all of these cases were ultimately cleared by CFIUS.

"We are very pleased that our shareholders see the benefits of the Canon transaction and voted accordingly. Although we are disappointed that CFIUS could not complete its review in the initial 30 day period," stated Terry Copeland, Altairnano President and CEO, "we now look forward to CFIUS' completion of its 45-day investigation."

U.S. Transportation Secretary LaHood Briefed on Indiana Battery Technology at Proterra Plant in Greenville, S.C.


Anderson, Ind. Company Altairnano Powers Proterra's 'Bus of Tomorrow'

ANDERSON, IN -- (Marketwire) -- 01/28/11 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI) -- Another Indiana company is gaining national attention in the wake of this week's State of the Union address, during which President Obama called for a new era of innovation in energy solutions.

One day after Vice President Joe Biden visited EnerDel, a Greenfield, Ind. facility that makes long-life batteries for electric cars, Indiana received another nod for its competitive work in developing green energy solutions for our nation.

Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI), which designs and produces advanced lithium-ion battery systems in its Anderson, Ind. manufacturing facility, is a key part of the success story of Proterra Inc., a Greenville, S.C. company that is producing a new generation of battery-powered, fast-charging transit buses. The buses -- which will deliver clean, quiet rides to cities and towns across the nation -- are fueled by Altairnano's proprietary lithium-titanate battery systems.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood toured the floor of Proterra Inc., where more than 120 workers were recently hired to assemble these "Buses of Tomorrow." Secretary LaHood's visit follows President Obama's State of the Union Address, which emphasized the importance of targeted investments to foster the American ingenuity, innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit that will make our nation more competitive globally and strengthen our economy here at home.

Altairnano Vice President Tom Kieffer was in attendance as Secretary LaHood toured the Proterra facility, and is proud to contribute to this green transportation solution -- and Indiana's economic development efforts.

"This Proterra 'Bus of Tomorrow' isn't just great news for the communities that will benefit from its clean and quiet transit service -- it's also good news for Indiana job growth," said Kieffer. "In 2010, Altairnano added eight new jobs to support the Proterra project, and we project the addition of 11 additional positions by early 2012."

With the help of Altairnano, Proterra expects to produce about 80 electric buses this year, plus charging stations, and is fielding inquiries about its products from around the world. The first new electric buses are already on the street in Southern California, helping the state reduce emissions and achieve its clean-air goals.

"Altairnano's fast-charge capability is what makes the Proterra bus such an innovative green solution for our country," Kieffer shared. "The bus can run a 2 ½ hour bus route after a single 5- to 10-minute rapid charge, and the batteries have an expected lifespan of 12 to 15 years in any climate. To our knowledge, our batteries are the only commercial technology that can provide these capabilities."

Secretary LaHood praised companies like Proterra and Altairnano for being leaders in this growing energy industry.

"President Obama has called for a new era of American innovation and competition, and that's exactly what is on display at Proterra's new battery-powered bus manufacturing facility," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "Thanks to smart government investments and private sector creativity, the buses of the future are being conceived and built by skilled American workers and engineers."

Altair Nanotechnologies Clears CFIUS Hurdle to Completing the Canon Investment Transaction
RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 01/31/11 -- Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI) today announced that on January 28, 2011, it was notified by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS"), that CFIUS had concluded its review and identified no unresolved national security concerns with respect to the investment in the Company by Canon Investment Holdings Limited ("Canon") pursuant to the Share Subscription Agreement, dated September 20, 2010 between Canon and the Company. As a result CFIUS takes no adverse action with respect to the Canon transaction and will advise the relevant members of Congress and the congressional committees accordingly.

The positive conclusion of this CFIUS review was the last remaining major obstacle to the closing of the Canon investment. Company shareholders previously approved the transaction at a special shareholder meeting held on December 27, 2010. The Company anticipates wrapping up the final details during the week of February 6, 2011.

The CFIUS review process was initiated by the Company and Canon jointly filing a voluntary notice on November 23, 2010 requesting review of the proposed transaction. Under the governing regulations, CFIUS had a period of 30 days to review the notification and could, at the end of that period, initiate a 45-day investigation of the transaction. On December 27, 2010, the Company received written notification from CFIUS that it intended to commence such an investigation. The 45-day period was to expire on February 10, 2011, but CFIUS was able to conclude their investigation sooner.

"We are extremely pleased that this final hurdle has been cleared and we can now move forward expeditiously with the close and begin to realize the benefits of the Canon investment and relationship," stated Terry Copeland, Altairnano President and CEO. "We look forward to a bright future with tremendous opportunity."

Altairnano to Provide Turn-Key System Valued at 18 Million U.S. Dollars

RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 02/15/11 -- Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI) today announced it had signed a binding contract with Inversiones Energéticas, S.A. de C.V. (INE), one of El Salvador's largest electric generation utilities, to provide a turn-key 10 Megawatt ALTI-ESS advanced battery system for frequency control.
The contract, valued at 18 million U.S. dollars, requires Altairnano to provide a complete turn-key installation at INE's Talnique power station, including all phases of site preparation, system installation, testing and commissioning. The ALTI-ESS uses Altairnano's patented lithium-titanate battery chemistry for its energy storage system, which has been in commercial operation for approximately two years.
"Altairnano's ALTI-ESS advanced battery system provides an economical solution for managing voltage frequency fluctuations, because of its ability to rapidly absorb energy from the grid, and just as quickly discharge energy back into the grid," stated Terry Copeland, Altairnano President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe our lithium-titanate technology provides the best performance and cycle life in the industry, and this translates into the lowest total cost of operation for our customers," he added.
The ALTI-ESS system, by providing frequency control for the grid, will enable INE to better utilize its electricity generation facilities. "INE is excited to partner with Altairnano to provide a cost effective solution for improving the electric grid reliability in El Salvador and reducing our dependency on foreign fuel," said Nicolas Salume, President of INE.
The complete system is expected to be operational in early 2012 with the manufacture of the battery system components to begin in the first half of 2011. This 10 Megawatt system represents Altairnano's largest installation for the electric grid market to-date, building on the commercial success of earlier ALTI-ESS systems operating since 2008 in the United States.

Ich verstehe es auch nicht, die Nachrichten sind recht positiv,
auch die folgende kann man als solche sehen.

Na ja ich bin schon eine weile investiert, da kann ich noch ein paar Monate warten.
Wenn die Produkte wie Nanosafe auch nur halb so gut sind wie berichtet
wird.
Dann geht meiner Meinung nach kein Weg an Altair vorbei.

Die Zahlen für 2010 fallen Super aus

79% Umsatzsteigerung

RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 02/24/11 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI), a provider of advanced lithium-ion battery technologies and systems, today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010.
"The Company took a number of giant strides forward and successfully completed several important milestones during 2010 toward greater market acceptance and profitability," said Dr. Terry Copeland, Altairnano's president and chief executive officer. "The Company is positioned for the beginning of significant revenue traction and growth in 2011 and beyond."
Financial Highlights for the full year of 2010 compared to 2009
Revenues increased 79 percent to $7.8 million.
Gross margin of $2.0 million compared to $1.3 million.
Operating expenses of $22.5 million compared to $22.1 million.
Net loss of $22.3 million compared to $21.3 million.
Net cash burn excluding the sale of new common shares of $14.1 million compared to $22.8 million.
For the full-year 2010, Altairnano reported a 79 percent increase in revenues to $7.83 million, up $3.46 million from $4.37 million for 2009. More importantly for the future, the revenue in each quarter was higher than in the prior quarter increasing from $1.2 million to $1.5 million to $2.0 million to $3.1 million. The net loss was $22.3 million, or $0.84 per share, compared to a net loss of $21.3 million, or $0.85 per share, for 2009. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the year were 26.6 million, compared to 25.0 million in 2009.
This increase in revenues is the result of higher battery product sales, contract and grant activity with the Office of Naval Research and the Department of Defense. For the year, gross margin was also higher by $0.7 million and operating expenses remained relatively flat at $22.5 million from $22.1 million in 2009 primarily as a result of lower R&D and G&A expense more than offset by higher marketing and sales expenses. In addition to the margin and operating expense drivers 2010 results were negatively impacted by the $2.0 million loss on the sale of our auction rate securities and Spectrum common stock, while our 2009 results benefitted from the $0.9 million gain on the sale of an initial block of Spectrum common stock.
Altairnano's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $13.4 million, from $18.1 million at December 31, 2009 to $4.7 million at December 31, 2010. This is primarily due to net cash used in operations of approximately $15.2 million. The bulk of this amount went to cover normal compensation and non-labor expenses, $1.6 million for increased product inventories, an increase of $0.6 million in accounts receivable offset by an increase of $1.1 million in accounts payable and an increase of $2.2 million in deferred revenue. Investing activities consisted primarily of purchases of fixed assets of approximately $1.0 million offset by the receipt of $2.6 million from the sale of our available for sale securities. Financing activities of $0.1 million is a result of the money raised from the Company's At-the-Market financing offset by the final payment on the note on the Company's Reno facility.
Recent Highlights
Shareholder and CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States) approval of the proposed investment transaction with Canon Investment Holdings. Delay of the anticipated close until May 17, 2011 to allow both parties to complete and agree on the final remaining details.
On December 8, 2010, we announced that Altairnano had been selected by Inversiones Energéticas, S.A. de C.V. (INE), one of El Salvador's largest electric generation utilities, to provide a turn-key 10 Megawatt ALTI-ESS advanced battery system for frequency control. On February 9, 2011, we signed the binding contract for the delivery of that system.
On December 3, 2010, we announced that Altairnano had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Rule") and was no longer in jeopardy of being delisted from NASDAQ.
At the close of business on November 15, 2010, the Company completed a reverse stock split in the ratio of 4:1.
In July 2010 we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Hawai'i Electric light Company, Inc. (HELCO) and the University of Hawaii - Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) to deliver a 1 Megawatt ALTI-ESS advanced battery system to test and evaluate the efficacy of its use in wind energy integration in the electric grid. On January 27, 2011, we announced the award of a firm contract with HNEI to supply that one-megawatt ALTI-ESS energy storage system. The system will be installed at the Hawi wind farm on the island of Hawai'i and connected to the HELCO utility grid.
We continued a steady monthly delivery of battery modules under the long-term Proterra contract announced in our Q2 earnings release and are working closely with them as they begin to rapidly scale-up their business.
We completed our efforts to focus all of our efforts on the Power and Energy Systems market and exited the Life Sciences and Performance Materials markets.

Altairnano will hold a conference call to discuss its 2010 results on Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST).

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Regulation FD Disclosure,



Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 28, 2011 Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. ("Altair") entered into a placement agent agreement (the "Placement Agent Agreement") with JMP Securities LLC ("JMP") as exclusive placement agent relating to the sale and issuance by Altair to select institutional investors (the "Investors") of up to 3,600,000 units (the "Units") in a "registered direct" offering, with each Unit consisting of (i) one common share ("Common Share") of Altair and (ii) one Series A Warrant ("Warrant") to purchase 0.5 of a Common Share at an exercise price of $2.56 per share. The sale of the Units is being made pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 28, 2011 (the "Purchase Agreement") with the Investors pursuant to which the Investors agreed to purchase the Units at a purchase price of $1.784 per Unit. Units will not be issued or certificated. The Common Shares and Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately. The Warrants will be exercisable beginning six months after the closing for a period of five years. Subject to adjustment as set forth below, in the aggregate, Altair will issue an aggregate of 3,600,000 Common Shares and Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,800,000 Common Shares pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agent Agreement and the related Purchase Agreement.

In addition, the Purchase Agreement provides for a purchase price adjustment, and the issuance of additional Common Shares ("Adjustment Shares") following such adjustment, if the Share Subion Agreement dated September 20, 2010, as amended on February 16, 2011 with Canon Investment Holdings Limited is terminated or adversely amended, or if the transaction contemplated thereby is not closed by a specified date. The number of Adjustment Shares is determined by subtracting the number of Common Shares issued at the closing from the number of Common Shares that would have been issued at the closing if the purchase price had been equal to 85% of volume weighted average price of the Common Shares during a 10 trading day period following the announcement of the triggering event, subject to a maximum number of 1,800,000 Adjustment Shares. If the registration statement under which the Common Shares and Warrants are being issued is not available for the issuance of the Adjustment Shares and in certain other limited circumstances, in lieu of delivering the additional shares, Altair may be required to pay cash to such investors in an amount equal to 125% of the value of the additional shares that would have otherwise been issued.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain representations and warranties from Altair to the Investors, and certain representations and warranties from the Investors to Altair, as are standard in transactions similar to the offering. The Purchase Agreement also contains provisions relating to the use of proceeds from the offering, indemnification of the Investors, a 15-month right of first offer in favor of the Investors, a 100-day restriction on additional financing by Altair, restrictions on subsequent equity sales by Altair at a price below $2.23 per share for a two-year period and other covenants.

A copy of the Placement Agent Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the form of Warrant are filed as Exhibits 1.1, 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report and are incorporated herein by reference. The closing for the sale of the Units is expected to take place on or about March 30, 2011, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Altair anticipates raising gross proceeds of approximately $6.42 million. The net offering proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Units, after deducting the placement agent's fees of 7% of the gross proceeds and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, are expected to be approximately $5.87 million.

Ich sehr nur, das die ein Haufen Kohle verbrennen. Hört sich alles nicht gut an.

RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 04/15/11 -- Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI), today announced that it received notification from Inversiones Energticas, S.A. de C.V. (INE), that it was exercising its right to terminate the contract signed in February 2011 for the 10 Megawatt ALTI-ESS advanced battery system for frequency control. According to the termination letter, INEs action was based upon notice it recently received from SIGET, the government entity that regulates the electric utility market in El Salvador. SIGET stated that the application of this new technology is not feasible in the short term as no procedures exist in the policies of the wholesale electricity market in El Salvador that regulate the operation of systems like the ALTI-ESS.

It was anticipated by both INE and Altairnano that the appropriate regulatory procedures and policies would be put into place within the timeframes contemplated and that the issuance of the notice to proceed would occur within a reasonably short time after formalizing the contract. "We are extremely disappointed by this unexpected setback," stated Dr. Terry Copeland President and CEO of Altairnano, "but we will continue to work diligently with the management of INE to address this latest obstacle and bring the benefits of this excellent technology to the El Salvador electric grid."

RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 05/05/11 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI), a provider of advanced lithium-ion battery technologies and systems, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Financial Highlights for the first quarter of 2011 compared to 2010
-- Revenues increased 114 percent to $2.6 million.
-- Gross margin of $(0.2) million compared to $0.3 million.
-- Operating expenses of $5.7 million compared to $6.4 million.
-- Net loss of $5.9 million compared to $6.1 million.
-- Net cash burn excluding the sale of new common shares of $4.7 million
compared to $5.8 million.

Recent Highlights
-- Activities are proceeding for the anticipated May 17, 2011 investment
close from Canon Investment Holdings in the amount of $57.6 million.
-- On March 30, 2011 we completed an interim registered direct financing
that netted the Company $5.7 million after all expenses.
-- On February 9, 2011, we signed a contract for delivery of a turn-key 10
Megawatt ALTI-ESS advanced battery system for frequency control with
Inversiones Energéticas, S.A. de C.V. (INE), one of El Salvador's
largest electric generation utilities. Subsequently, on April 15, 2011,
INE informed us that due to unresolved regulatory issues they were
cancelling that contract.
-- On January 27, 2011, we announced the award of a firm contract with the
University of Hawaii - Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) to supply
a one-megawatt ALTI-ESS energy storage system to test and evaluate the
efficacy of its use in wind energy integration in the electric grid. The
system will be installed at the Hawi Wind Farm on the island of Hawaii
and connected to the HELCO utility grid.
-- We continued a reduced delivery of battery modules under the long-term
Proterra contract announced last year, and are working closely with them
to adjust our manufacture and delivery schedule for the balance of the
year as they address their near-term financial challenges.

For the first quarter of 2011, Altairnano reported a 114 percent increase in revenues to $2.6 million, up $1.4 million from the first quarter of 2010. Customer caused delays in first quarter shipments of lithium titanate to Zhuhai YinTong Energy (YTE) and of battery modules to Proterra, our largest customer in the transportation market, negatively impacted revenues. Without these delays first quarter results would have been considerably higher.
The net loss was $5.9 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to a net loss of $6.1 million, or $0.24 per share, for the first quarter of 2010. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter were 26.8 million, compared to 26.3 million for the same period in 2010.
"The first quarter was a challenging period, however, we did make progress in many areas," said Dr. Terry Copeland, Altairnano's president and chief executive officer. "We successfully completed the announced interim financing and continue moving forward on the Canon investment close scheduled for May 17, 2011. The loss of the INE contract was frustrating but we continue to feel that Latin America is a viable market for us."
For the quarter, gross margin declined by $0.5 million and operating expenses were lower by 11 percent, falling from $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2010 to $5.7 million for the same period this year. The primary driver for the reduced margin was the lower sales price to YTE in order to facilitate our entry into the China market, while the primary drivers to the lower operating expenses were reductions in R&D, Sales & Marketing and G&A expenses.
Altairnano's cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.0 million, from $4.7 million at December 31, 2010 to $5.7 million at March 31, 2011. This is primarily due to net cash used in operations of approximately $4.5 million, more than offset by the sale of additional common stock for a net amount of $5.7 million. The bulk of the cash used in operations went to cover normal compensation and non-labor expenses. Significant additional items adding to our cash balance from operations were a decrease of $1.0 million in product inventories and a decrease of $0.4 million in accounts receivable, largely offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in accounts payable and a decrease of $1.0 million in deferred revenue. Investing activities consisted of the purchase of fixed assets of approximately $0.1 million. Financing activities of $5.6 million is a result of the money raised from the Company's March registered direct financing of $5.7 million offset by leasing payments of $0.1 million.

Altairnano will hold a conference call to discuss its first quarter 2011 results on Thursday, May 5, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

Altairnano's Battery System Will Power Finnish University Research in Smart Grid and Heavy Duty Hybrid Vehicle Technologies

RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 05/11/11 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI), today announced its nano lithium-ion titanate battery system would be used to advance research initiatives at LUT Energy of Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT), the largest energy research and university-level education organization in Finland. LUT Energy works to find environmentally friendly, energy efficient solutions to problems at every point in the energy chain, from energy sources to end use fuels, energy generation technologies, electric power systems and markets, energy use and production processes.
In its quest to overcome present and future challenges in the energy sector, LUT Energy is exploring energy technologies associated with sustainable development, such as heavy duty hybrid vehicle technologies. For many projects, LUT will now use Altairnano's 700 volt energy storage solution, which employs twenty-seven 24 volt modules.
"We selected Altairnano's technology because it offers the very high power density heavy working machines need when a direct diesel drive is replaced by a diesel-electric hybrid drive," said Prof. Juha Pyrhönen, LUT Energy.
Beyond innovations in industrial energy storage applications, Finland has an advanced standard electricity distribution system ripe for smart grid technologies. Altairnano's battery system will also be used to explore these forward-thinking solutions.
"Both heavy working machines and electricity distribution systems need efficient, high power density energy storage. We have a 300 kW test setup to emulate working machine cycles that will use the battery for energy storage. The same technology is used to research the smart grids concept. We can tame up to 500 kW short power peaks in the university network used for testing the smart grids concept at LUT," explained Prof. Jarmo Partanen.
For Altairnano, the teaming is not only another opportunity to demonstrate its superior power and system performance -- the contract with LUT Energy represents the company's first demonstration project in Europe.
"We are pleased to support LUT as it develops and tests industrial and electric grid technologies that could one day shape the global energy industry," said Terry Copeland, president and CEO of Altairnano, Inc. "The fact that the project allows us entry into the European market is equally exciting."
The system is anticipated to be operational by October 2011.

RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 05/17/11 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI) today announced that it has entered into a Second Amendment to Share Subion Agreement (the "Amendment") with Canon Investment Holdings Limited ("Canon") extending the agreed upon closing date under the Share Subion Agreement with Canon (the "SSA") from May 17, 2011 to June 3, 2011. The SSA calls for Canon to acquire newly issued shares of the Companys common stock valued at 57.6 million resulting in a 51% ownership on a fully-diluted basis immediately upon closing.

Canon has stated that it needs additional time to finalize the necessary actions required for it to close this transaction. In addition to delaying the closing date, the parties agreed that, in the interim, Altair may investigate other potential strategic investments, and that if it should structure an alternative partnership, may terminate the SSA with no penalty and pursue the alternative.

"We believe that closing the SSA with Canon is in the best long-term interests of both parties and continue to cooperate with Canon and work toward closing on the revised date of June 3rd," said Terry Copeland Altairs president and CEO. "However, until such date, we need to be thoroughly examining alternatives and that is exactly what we intend to do."

Altair Nanotechnologies Announces Additional Extension of Share Subion Agreement With Canon Investment Holdings
RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 06/03/11 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI) today announced it has agreed to a third amendment to the Share Subion Agreement (the "SSA") initially entered into with Canon Investment Holdings Limited ("Canon") on September 20, 2010 and subsequently amended on February 16, 2011 and May 17, 2011. This Third Amendment to the SSA extends the End Date to, and sets the Closing Date as June 20, 2011, but keeps in place Altairnano's ability to pursue other alternatives and to terminate the SSA at any time with no penalty. The SSA calls for Canon to acquire newly issued shares of the Company's common stock valued at $57.6 million, resulting in a 51 percent ownership on a fully diluted basis immediately upon closing.
The Company stated in its press release of May 17, 2011 that, as of that point forward, it would be working toward closing with Canon and thoroughly examining alternatives to the Canon deal.
"Altairnano has been ready and willing to close the SSA since early February," stated Terry Copeland, Altairnano's president and Chief Executive Officer. "We agreed at Canon's request both in February and again in May to extend the closing date. However, with Canon's current request to again delay the close, we are less confident that it will ultimately close as agreed to by the parties. We will continue to remain open to completing the transaction with Canon. At the same time, we have had some promising discussions with other major energy providers and industrial companies since the May 17 delay, and will continue to thoroughly pursue these alternatives."

RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 06/13/11 -- Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI) today announced it had agreed to a request from Inversiones Energéticas, S.A. de C.V. (INE), one of El Salvador's largest electric generation utilities, for a 90-day extension of a contract earlier signed with Altairnano to provide a turn-key 10 megawatt ALTI-ESS advanced battery system for frequency control. The extension will provide INE and Altairnano additional time to secure regulatory approval.
"Altairnano is committed to working closely with INE and will do everything in its power to seek regulatory approval for this project. We continue to believe that our technology and approach to meeting the electric grid requirements in El Salvador are the best in the industry and we look forward to resolving the regulatory issues," said Terry Copeland, Altairnano president and Chief Executive Officer.
Altairnano's ALTI-ESS advanced battery system provides an economical solution for managing voltage frequency fluctuations, because of its ability to rapidly absorb energy from the grid, and just as quickly discharge energy back into the grid. The ALTI-ESS uses Altairnano's patented lithium-titanate battery chemistry for its energy storage system, which has been in commercial operation for approximately two years.
The contract, valued at 18 million U.S. dollars, would require Altairnano to provide a complete turn-key installation at INE's Talnique power station, including all phases of site preparation, system installation, testing and commissioning. Altairnano previously announced that INE had terminated the contract based upon a letter indicating that the government entity that regulates electric utilities in El Salvador had declined to grant required approval for the project. INE has recently explained that its letter was not intended to effect a termination of the contract, but merely to provide notice of its initial failure to obtain regulatory approval, which would automatically effect a termination of the contract if the issue was not resolved within 120 days, subject to extension by the parties. Consistent with the contract, INE and Altairnano have agreed to a 90-day extension to permit INE to continue to seek regulatory approval.

These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the risks that the government entity that regulates electric utilities in El Salvador will not reverse its prior decision in which it declined to approve the purchase and installation of the advanced battery system, that, even if regulatory approval is received, the order for the turn-key advanced battery system may not be completed because of technical, financial or other reasons; that even if the battery system is installed, it may not perform as expected for reasons related to the battery system, the power station into which it is installed, operational or maintenance failures or other reasons. In addition, other risks are identified in Altairnano's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.

hi coolrunning,
wir sind die wenigen die vermutlich bei plusminus 1 dollar eingestiegen sind.

mit der vorahnung hatten wir recht.

so wie es verstanden habe ist canon jetzt doch eingestiegen mit 57 millionen $ bei 1,55$.

ich denke canon wird nicht ohne grund investiert haben, wenn die schonn 1,55$ bezahlt haben denke ich wir werden höhere kurse sehen.
so wie ich es sehe werden wird es zwischen 1,40 und 1,50 spannend, danach ist eigentlich der weg bis 2,60 bis wenige hürden frei.

euch allen gutes gelingen.

Altairnano Selected by Hawai'i Natural Energy Institute for Solar Energy Integration Demonstration Project


One Megawatt ALTI-ESS System Will Be Installed at a Substation in Central Oahu

RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 08/16/11 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI) today announced it has signed a contract with the Hawai'i Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) of the University of Hawai'i at Manoa to supply a one-megawatt ALTI-ESS energy storage system for a test of solar energy integration. Under the contract, Altairnano will provide the ALTI-ESS battery-based power management system to be tested on Hawaiian Electric's electric system to smooth the voltage and load profile with the aid of dynamic voltage controls and fast charge/discharge abilities.

"Altairnano technology was selected for this project based on its long cycle life and very rapid charge and discharge capabilities," said Dr. Rick Rocheleau, UH-HNEI Director. "These characteristics are expected to help meet the integration challenges of high-penetration solar energy sources."

The project is designed to test the performance characteristics of the battery and to demonstrate the effectiveness of battery storage technology to further the integration of solar energy into Hawaiian Electric's electric system. The test is expected to demonstrate solutions to integrate higher levels of renewable energy onto the grid, improve capacity utilization, and maintain grid performance and reliability while reducing the state's dependency on fossil-fuel power generation.

"This project will show the value of our technology to meet the performance requirements for fast energy storage needed for solar integration, and we look forward to working with our customers to provide Hawaiian Electric Company with the means to increase their use of renewable energy sources," said Terry Copeland, Altairnano president and CEO.

Hawaiian Electric Company plans to install the energy storage system at one of its electrical substations in central Oahu in early 2012. This substation is experiencing a rapid increase in residential and commercial solar installations.

"We look forward to pursuing this opportunity with UH-HNEI and Altairnano," said Darren Ishimura, Hawaiian Electric Company's Director of Distributed Technology Applications. "Hawaiian Electric continues to aggressively explore solutions to support higher-penetration of clean energy resources into our grid in a reliable and cost-effective manner."

The Office of Naval Research is providing funding for the project through a grant to the University of Hawai'i. Projects that support the Department of Navy's energy programs to demonstrate technologies that enable increased implementation of alternative energy sources and promote energy security are made possible by the efforts of Senator Inouye, Senate Appropriations Chairman to ensure that the Department of Defense has adequate resources to make these critical, cutting-edge investments in energy technology.

INE Grants 120-Day Extension to Conclude Regulatory Approval for ALTI-ESS System for El Salvador
RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 09/15/11 -- Today, Altairnano (NASDAQ: ALTI) announced it had reached an agreement with Inversiones Energéticas S. A. DE C. V. (INE) to extend its current contract to supply a 10 Megawatt ALTI-ESS system for the El Salvador Electric Grid. The contract extension was granted to permit both INE and Altairnano the time needed to conclude work necessary to obtain regulatory approval for the introduction of energy storage within El Salvador. Initial regulatory reviews were completed by Unidad de Transacciones (UT), accepting the technical results of required electrical interconnection studies.
"INE and Altairnano are working closely together to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, and this extension further demonstrates INE's commitment to successfully implement the first energy storage project in El Salvador," said Tom Kieffer, Altairnano vice president, marketing and sales. "We believe the regulatory environment in El Salvador is favorable to energy storage, and that we will be able to achieve necessary approvals within the contract extension period," Kieffer added.
Altairnano's ALTI-ESS advanced battery system provides an economical solution for managing voltage frequency fluctuations, because of its ability to rapidly absorb energy from the grid, and just as quickly discharge energy back into the grid. The ALTI-ESS uses Altairnano's patented nano-lithium-titanate battery chemistry for its energy storage system, which has been in commercial operation for approximately two years.
The contract, valued at 18 million U.S. dollars, would require Altairnano to provide a complete turn-key installation at INE's Talnique power station, including all phases of site preparation, system installation, testing and commissioning.

Altair Nanotechnologies Reports Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results


RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 11/03/11 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI), a provider of advanced lithium-ion battery technologies and systems, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Financial Highlights for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter 2010

* Revenues decreased to $0.9 million from $2.0 million.
* Gross margin decreased to $0.3 million from $0.5 million.
* Operating expenses of $5.4 million compared to $5.8 million.
* Net loss of $5.9 million compared to $5.3 million.
* Year-to-date cash used in operating and investing activities of $13.9 million compared to $10.8 million.

Recent Highlights

* On September 17, 2011 our Board of Directors appointed Dr. Frank Gibbard as President and Chief Executive Officer and appointed Stephen Huang as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer with an effective date of September 18, 2011.

* On July 22, 2011 Altair closed the Canon transaction for $57.5 million.

For the 2011 third quarter, Altairnano reported revenues of $0.9 million, down from $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2010. The overwhelming driver for this reduction was the termination of our military business at the end of 2010 in order to close the Canon transaction. Additionally sales to Proterra were down from the prior year comparable quarter due to Proterra's ramping back up their electric bus operations from a temporary shutdown earlier in 2011.

Net loss was $5.9 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.3 million, or $0.20 per share, for the third quarter of 2010. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter were 60.2 million, compared to 26.8 million for the same period in 2010.

"During the third quarter we were successful in closing the Canon transaction. This relationship will help us open up market opportunities in Asia and gives us the financial resources to execute our sales strategy into power grids, electric buses and various OEM applications worldwide," said Dr. Frank Gibbard, Altairnano's new president and chief executive officer.

For the quarter, gross profit declined by $0.2 million and operating expenses were lower by 7 percent, falling from $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2010 to $5.4 million for the same period this year. The primary driver for the reduced gross profit was the reduced sales volume associated with the elimination of our military sales in 2011.

Altairnano's cash and cash equivalents increased by $48.7 million, from $4.7 million at December 31, 2010 to $53.4 million at September 30, 2011. This is primarily due to the total net proceeds of $61.9 million from our Canon transaction of $56.2 million and our earlier capital raise of $5.7 million in March 2011, less $13.9 million of cash used in operating and investing activities during 2011. The bulk of the cash used in operations went to cover normal compensation and non-labor expenses. Significant additional items adjusting our net loss to cash used in operations included asset depreciation and IP amortization expense included in net loss of $1.0 million, decrease of $1.0 million in deferred revenues, $.8 million of share-based compensation expense included in net loss and $.7 million reduction in accounts payable.

Third Quarter 2011 Conference Call
Altairnano will hold a conference call to discuss its third quarter 2011 results on Thursday, November 3, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

Wäre schön, den Grund für diese Einschätzung mitgeteilt zu bekommen.... - oder spricht hier lediglich Enttäuschung über die bislang ausgebliebene Kursralley...?

Die Webseite der Fa. macht jedenfalls einen guten Eindruck, ebenso die Produkte, Referenzen und Kooperationen.

Leider lässt man hier - wie bei http://dbm-energy.de/ die Elektromobile derzeit noch links liegen und konzentriert sich auf den industriellen Speichermarkt - da winken wohl größere Margen.

Wäre nett, wenn sich hierzu jemand - natürlich auch mit ggf. anderer Meinung und anderen Informationen - äußern würde. Danke schon mal.

[Matischack]

Natürlich spricht hier Enttäuschung aus meinem Munde. Ich habe z.B. die Aktien dieser Firma vor ein paar Jahren und nicht nur für ´nen Appel und ´nen Ei und davon auch nicht zu wenige gekauft. Auch damals schon schien die Firma sehr vielversprechend zu sein. Nur was nützen gute Produkte, wenn sie niemand kauft, weil vermutlich das Management vor´m Arsch ist. Dieses wurde - soweit ich weiß - nun in sofern ausgetauscht, dass die Firma Canon (aber chinesische Canon) "das Ruder übernahm". Nur bis dieser Schritt vollzogen wurde, gab es mehrere Reverse-Splitt´s. Der Aktienkurs schoss durch diesen Umstand bedingt in die Höhe. In Wirklichkeit war das Depot aber nicht wertvoller geworden, da sich die Aktienanzahl ja dementsprechend vermindert hatte. Und nicht nur das, der Kurs der Aktien bröckelte immer wieder auf´s Neue ab. So, jetzt kannst Du Dir vorstellen, warum viele enttäuscht sind. Vielleicht ist jetzt tatsächlich der richtige Einstiegspunkt. Wann aber ist der?!? Das kann Dir hier niemand sagen. Und apropo gutes Produkt. Die Firma Nexxus Lighting hat auch ein super Produkt. Aber auch ein scheiß Management, weshalb wohl auch diese Firma leider vor die Hunde gehen wird. Leider!!!

Ich darf mich - erfreulicherweise - einmal selbst korrigieren:

Die chinesischen Firmen Yintong und Guangtong in Zhuhai haben einen Elektrobus konstruiert, der inzwischen auch nach Deutschland über die Fa. http://www.eurabus.de/, Berlin, nach Pinneberg bei Hamburg importiert wurde. Yintong ist bei Altair Nanotech beteiligt. Ich stelle einmal die relevanten Links ein:

Der Elektrobus in Pinneberg bei Hamburg, Deutschland 1.6.2012:

Die Firma Yintong arbeitet wiederum mit der amerikanischen innovativen Firma Altair Nanotechnologies (Börsen-Ticker: AHN) zusammen, die sich durch einen eigenen Weg bei der Konstruktion von Akkutechnologie auszeichnet:

Guangtong, Zhuhai weist allerdings auf die gemeinsame Entwicklung mit Zhuhai Yintong Energy Co hin:
With the above advantages and the production capacity of Guangtong, the pure electric bus developed by Guangtong and Yintong lowers the energy consumption from 1.1kw/h to 0.8kw/h.

Ich dachte zuerst, der Elektrobus käme von BYD, bekam allerdings dann einen Hinweis, dass dies nicht der Fall sei.

Wie vielfach berichtet, hat RWE die Kooperation mit BYD aufgelöst, weil BYD keine Zulassung für den europäischen Markt bekommen hätte:
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Elektroautos-RWE-been…

Vom Verkehrsunternehmen wurde allerdings ein anderer Grund für die Nichtberücksichtigung der BYD-Elektrobusse angegeben - sie fanden die Lösung der im Fahrgastraum stehenden Batterietürme nicht akzeptabel...

...oh, habe gerade festgestellt, dass laut WO angeblich in D der 28.5.12 der letzte Handelstag war...
An der NASDAQ wurde hingegen ausweislich Onvista noch am 22.6.12 gehandelt bzw. ein Kurs festgestellt.

Das ist aber laut ARIVA-Forum ein Irrtum:
"Die Aktie wurde ausgesetzt und neu gelistet mit neuem ISIN Code.
CA0213732047 AWVN ALTAIR NANO. 29.05.2012 US0213732045 AHN ALTAIR
NANOTECHNOLOGIES INC. 30.05.2012 Tausch 1:1"

Ebenso ist dort zu lesen:
"In ca. einem Monat fliegt die Aktie auch von der NASDAQ weil unter 1 $."

Und das alles ausgerechnet jetzt, wo Altair weitere Aktivitäten in China entwickelt und mit im Elektrobus-Sektor offensichlich erfolgreichen chinesischen Unternehmen (Yintong Energy,Guangtong, s.o.) kooperiert:

Altair Nanotechnologies Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (MM) (NASDAQ:ALTI)
Historical Stock Chart
1 Month : From Jul 2012 to Aug 2012

Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. ("Altair") (NASDAQ: ALTI), today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Altair reported revenues of $0.5 million for the second quarter, essentially flat compared to the same period in 2011. The gross loss was $620,000 reflecting an increase of $399,000 in inventory reserves. Operating expenses increased to $4.4 million primarily due to investments in research and development, compared to $3.8 million for the same quarter in 2011.
"The second quarter marked an important turning point for our company," said Alexander Lee, Altair's Chief Executive Officer. "We completed a series of agreements in China that will create a unique point of entry into the Chinese market; we took actions to consolidate our operations and reduce our cost structure; and, we focused on the completion and delivery of four turnkey energy storage system projects that will allow us to recognize revenue in the third and fourth quarters of this year."
Recent Highlights and Subsequent Events
•On April 1, 2012, Altair board members Alexander Lee and Liming Zou (a/k/a Albert Zou) were respectively named as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.
•On April 19, 2012, Altair entered into economic development agreements with the Cities of Handan and Wu'an in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). Under these agreements, the two cities shall provide Altair Nanotechnologies (China) Co., Ltd. ("Altair China") with a package of economic incentives, including a land use rights grant, which shall be used for Altair's new manufacturing facilities.
•On May 15, 2012, Altair entered into a new supply agreement with Proterra to supply its nano lithium titanate ("nLTO") battery modules for use in their rapid-charging EV buses. On June 19, 2012, Proterra released its first purchase order under the agreement for deliveries in the first quarter of 2013.
•On May 15, 2012, Altair completed the domestication of its Canadian corporate entity into the United States as a Delaware corporation. We believe that the change will reduce certain administrative costs and regulatory reporting complexity.
•On June 28, 2012, Altair received an order from the Hawaiian Natural Energy Institute ("HNEI") for the development of advanced system control algorithms, which will be used to integrate wind and solar resources for the two Altair energy storage systems, which will be delivered to HNEI later this year.
•On July 6, 2012, Altair's Board of Directors approved a plan to repatriate funds from its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altair China, to support and fund Altair's ongoing U.S. operations.
•On July 9 2012, the Company shipped a 1.2 MW energy storage system to a European renewable energy customer, who will utilize the system in a wind farm application. We anticipate that the system will be installed and commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2012.
•On July 27, 2012, Altair completed a reduction in force in its Reno facility to further consolidate its U.S. operations and reduce the Company's operating costs. Total U.S. headcount (regular and temporary employees) dropped from 95 on March 31, 2012 to 68 on August 2, 2012.
•On Aug. 1, 2012, Altair China received an initial down payment of $1.9 million (12 million Chinese RMB) from the city of Wu'an for its first EV bus order under its April 2012 economic development agreement with Wu'an. Altair China shall deliver 50 electric buses to Wu'an by the end of 2012.
•On Aug. 8, 2012, the company entered into a $1 million loan agreement to provide general working capital to fund the company's operations.
The net loss for the second quarter was $4.9 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.10 per share, for the second quarter of 2011. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter were 69.5 million, compared to 30.4 million for the same period in 2011. The net loss increase was primarily due to the change in the market value of previously issued warrants, increases in research and development expense associated with our next generation LTO chemistry and LTO cells, as well as an increase in inventory reserves.
Altair's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $11.2 million, from $46.5 million at Dec. 31, 2011 to $35.3 million at June 30, 2012. This is primarily due to the $10.8 million of cash used in operating activities during the first half of 2012. The bulk of the cash used in operations went to cover normal compensation and non-labor expenses, and the build-up of work in process inventory related to the fulfillment of customer sales backlog.

Natural Energy Institute Issues Contract for Altairnano ALTI-ESS Advantage 2-Megawatt Advanced Energy Storage System / Purchase Marks the Third Altairnano System for Renewable Energy and Grid Stabilization Demonstration Projects in the State of H
RENO, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 01/14/13 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Altairnano) (NASDAQ: ALTI), today announced it was awarded a firm contract with the Hawai'i Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) of the University of Hawai'i at Manoa to supply a 2-Megawatt (MW) ALTI-ESS Advantage energy storage system for a grid stability demonstration project.

HNEI selected Altairnano and the ALTI-ESS Advantage after two prior energy storage system purchases focused on renewable energy integration. The ALTI-ESS Advantage supplies 2 MW of power and 397 kWh of energy as part of a new product offering that has a 25 percent smaller footprint and lower cost per MW than the product it replaced. The research project, funded through a grant from the Office of Naval Research, will help validate the performance characteristics of the ALTI-ESS Advantage and demonstrate the effectiveness of energy storage to integrate solar photovoltaic power generation into the electric grid.

"With this project, we will continue important work to validate the effectiveness of advanced energy storage systems in improving the electric grid, reducing emissions and providing the citizens of Hawai'i with continued growth in the use of renewable energy," said Dr. Rick Rocheleau, executive director of HNEI.

"Energy storage systems will play a critical role in the integration of renewable sources of energy into the grid," said Alexander Lee, chief executive officer of Altairnano. "We are very pleased to build upon our relationship with HNEI, and look forward to integrating our newest system, the ALTI-ESS Advantage, into our third renewable energy project with HNEI."

The Office of Naval Research is providing funding for the project through a grant to the University of Hawai'i. Projects that support the Department of Navy's energy programs to demonstrate technologies that enable increased implementation of alternative energy sources and promote energy security was made possible by the efforts of the late Senator Daniel K. Inouye, Senate Appropriations Chairman, to ensure that the Department of Defense has adequate resources to make these critical, cutting-edge investments in energy technology.
