That was the nickname of one of the girls at college.
Missed opportunities, Blah blah blah, to quote a phrase. makes me cringe every time I hear it.
I guess we are all getting very frustrated by the lack of news and very slow progress, but you know what, we are getting closer and closer to the finishing line every day. None of us know what is going on at QFI apart from what we are told.
I have no doubt that Mike during his time did all he could to progress MSAR etc, in fact we are in the best place yet to get a result, possibly due to his efforts. Jason also, I have faith in him and he genuinely believes in his product and I am sure will do everything possible over the next months to bring home the prize (s).
So please no more mention for the word S****, that was a word from my childhood, so a bit shocked to see it used on here when referring to the management at QFI.
We have a great deal going on and should have some very interesting positives in the coming weeks, including Mikes replacement, who at this point in time and with the potential that MSAR has, I wouldn't mind betting will be somebody that will take our little baby to the next level and have the experience to achieve great things for us.
We live in very strange times and just listening to the promises, maybe all to be forgotten over the next years, until COP 27, we will see. But I am convinced that MSAR and BioMSAR will become a small part of the efforts to clear up our atmosphere and get the world onto a path or recovery, our younger generation will make sure of that. The older generation, me included, have been fully aware for years as to what we are doing in our cars etc etc, remember when Al Gore stood for president and nobody took him seriously, that was not long ago, so things are changing.
I am also sure that the SP will go through the roof once this starts to rock and roll, there seems very little in the way of alternatives to address the thousands of engines out there running heavy machinery of all types that can quickly convert to MSAR etc and 90% of the infrastructure to distribute and store the stuff. We are but a small snow ball sitting at the top of a massive hill simply awaiting that little push, that is all it will take, and then all of you that have stocked up on shares will have every reason to smile.

oops, for those not following the story, probably none of you, Astra Space.

Hope you pass it on BP, we need cheering up....
Just had a pundit prophesying the share price will go to around 100$, its sitting at 10 now. Launch of test rocket predicted Nov 9th. If it gets into low earth orbit I could be in for 6,000,000 QFI shares with the profits. Almost own the company then....
Sorry just trying to bring a few smiles to your faces, but you never know.
I agree Wonga, but taking this to the limits, why use the Crap left over in refineries, apart from something has to be done with it, when sweet oil can be produced from Utah etc which would be far less polluting.
But either way the world needs QFI tech. more now than ever, and those that should be promoting this, even as a 20 year stopgap, should be pushing and pushing to get it onboard. Sorry for the pun....
We have had the COP out and the problem it seems is that the worlds leaders, as they like to be called, are blind to what is going on in the real world. Protesters saying that Shell and BP etc should be closed down, of course the Arabs and Russians are not attending or are keeping out of this, they will pick up any required barrels that the west cannot produce. By closing down the majors in the west it would be like handing these other countries a pot of gold, and have no doubt their production methods are far more polluting than those of the USA, Europe or the UK.
QFI are seen as oil producers, who would want to invest in a company trying to get another product off the ground, unless they new exactly what is being produced and the benefits to the world at this precise time.
MSAR and BioMSAR are perfect substitutes for much of the polluting fuel that is being used in the areas we are targeting, today the many countries signing up to rid us of coal generation, this could very quickly be substituted by MSAR in the coal powered fire stations that exist, you cannot simply pull these down, we still need the energy. The same with Cement production, or fuel for shipping, or for that matter getting oil from tar sands, which seems to me to be a no brainer, billions of barrels awaiting recovery. If just a small fraction of the billions that are being promised were directed to bringing QFI online in a big way, did I see a claim that it burns cleaner than gas, the world would instantly, or very quickly start to see improvements. Maybe Boris should pay a visit to QFI headquarters and take a look for himself. Electric cars are a farce, I have just been to my Ford dealership, I needed a new battery, £240.00, couldn't believe the cost, and I stood looking at a brand new Mustang electric vehicle. The salesman explained the plus side of these cars, the run on electricity, but then in conversation he told me the facts, 60,000 miles before there is any benefit to the world, and the cost, £50.000.00. We have so few charging points around where I live, couldn't tell you where one is, and who knows where the electricity comes from or is produced. Modern cars petrol are still the most efficient way of getting around.
But with all of the noise at the moment about saving the world this share should be at £1.00 or more just on sentiment, governments should be getting behind this company, but of course the big oilers I am sure do not want this to succeed, how would they get rid of their crap.
The share price is unbelievable, the mistakes in the recent report did not help, but more to do with not paying attention as to ineptitude. The change at the top will be a good thing when it happens, providing the new man/woman knows exactly what they are doing and have global experience in this industry. Once the floodgates open, and the race by all concerned to meet deadlines on green credentials comes about.... ££££ GLA
56 Red and 4 Blue, and the share price does not appear to have moved - Strange day.......
Maritime industry embarks on carbon transition pathwayDecarbonising transportation and corporate supply chains are vital elements of climate-change mitigation. Shipping is under the spotlight as banks, investors, governments and other stakeholders scrutinise the sector’s emissions intensity.The shipping industry’s target of achieving a 40% cut in carbon intensity by 2030 and a 50% cut by 2050 is being driven by a suite of emerging mandatory standards for all ships of 400 GT and above, including Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) ratings. CII ratings measure ships’ operational efficiency in grams of CO2 emitted per debt weight tonnes and per nautical mile sailed and are assigned on a scale of A to E. Scope’s Ship Review has calculated CII rating estimates for more than 40,000 vessels. Based on 2020 data, 18.8% of ships have an A rating, 21.8% a B rating and 23.7% a C rating. The challenge will arise for the 13.9 % of D rated and 21.8% of E rated ships: vessels that receive D ratings for three successive years or an E rating in a given year will be required to implement remediation plans.e platform related to the emissions, sustainability- and reliability performance of the maritime industry.Please fine the he full report attached.Access Ship Review on ScopeOne – Use Ship-Search Tool
welcome to the UK cement industry
The cement industry contributes nearly a billion pounds annually to the UK economy. It operates 12 manufacturing and two grinding and blending plants and produces around ten million tonnes of Portland cement a year, representing about 90% of the cement sold in the UK.
Mineral Products Association (MPA) Cement - representing the UK ...
A trial is a trial, I wonder why the testing of a U.K. product does not take place in the U.K. have QFI approached these guys, if so why have they not stepped up to the plate. It would have been done and dusted an awfully long time ago if they had.
GLA, we are where we are.
They could use carbon for lube. Look up graphite large flake. Soon to be a booming market. But there will always be oil and it’s derivatives but it’s creating a balance, and just watched the video, long, but will tech solve all of our problems, I think not, watching the housing going up around here, incredible, new this and new that. If global warming is not just a myth, no, how do we resolve our problems. Nuclear power stations being decommissioned when we need them more than ever. Because technology has outdated good engineering.
Why are cement companies not ready to take the jump, anything has to be better than burning the worlds cra*. Power stations that are burning coal or any type of cra* they can get cheaply because refineries have to dispose of their cra*. We have MCI, the only one of hundreds of shipping companies world wide happy to step up, they don’t want to burn cra*, that’s obvious, but they need to clean up their image after the debacle a few years back when one of their liners sank through human incompetence, but we know it works. And of course BioMSAR, what a gift to the world this is, even if we have limited production. But if I am right a market place for glycerine would encourage more bio-fuels. Then you get to forests being destroyed etc.
Also the usage of this fuel in so many other fuel intensive industries.
The future isn’t bright, but it could be a damned site better using QFI tech. It like watching the world burn and those that make the decisions are terrified of upsetting big industry. If the IMO 2020 can implement rules that govern the world in a very short timespan, what is keeping them back. Those rules were made to accommodate the fuel suppliers I have no doubt.
GLA.
Didn’t somebody post on here a while back, well to wake a 50% carbon saving, the shipping industry could reach their present goals tomorrow if those banging the drum were only to listen and take action. Far too much disruption possibly for a massive industry. But of course we have public opinion, and the royal family on our side. :-)
Who knows and if we have not fully wrapped up the protection of our IP on the use of glycerine etc we will soon find out. Believe me when a few dollars are at stake anything can happen in the USA.
Let’s hope we do not have to call in the lawyers, but all being well and I have no doubt QFI have covered their ar**S this is going to be huge. Roll on 2022. It’s going to be a different year for QFI and all LTH.
Talking of rockets and share prices. I have a large investment in Astra Space, they have had three launch failures, a new launch in just a couple of weeks, incredible timelines, if it makes space the share price will indeed ROCKET, if it fails, so will the SP, until the next attempt. If you are tired of watching the kettle boil have a bet on Astra. It only recently went public through a Spac.
GLA
Brilliant 46, I will go with that, just need to top up another 1,000,000 shares.
Mind you the way the SP reacts to good news we could be down to around 1p or less. :-)
GLA
Refineries would still be able to dispose of their residues using MSAR, what happens to this stuff if we go to other bio-fuels, their are at least a few thousand ships out there that can use it and if it was possible Vlsf from Utah,I would have thought that shipping companies, refineries and governments would have been all over it.
There will be a lot of international pressure on greening up over the next months, all positive.
Yep Indi but at least you get a Big Mac, pop it in the Microwave and away you go.
Just makes you realise just what QFI sp could be worth once it is shifting product.
We can only wonder ……
I never knew of this process until I became involved in QFI and certainly the amount of fuel it takes to make what is essentially a product that has been around since Roman times, its not going away soon, a massive industry that operates in most countries. Morocco is just the beginning and if the Canadians are getting on their high horse to cut the emissions from its production so much the better. Onwards and the mist is clearing from the horizon. Great presentation the other day, it keeps me engaged, the company is moving forwards slowly as it approaches the finishing line which is commercialisation, as is often mentioned on here by all concerned, but I still have to wonder why the shift in the share price is non existent with one bit of positive news after another. As I have said before it is like a stretched elastic band awaiting the moment of release, lets hope it is a signed contract, and one not too far into the distance.
One interesting remark that I heard during my last trip around Europe, commercial shipping was a great dumping ground for the crap left over from the refining business, QFI will still allow for the crap to be burnt, just in a better way for the planet.
Whats not to like.
GLA great to be back.....
Cement is the essential ingredient in concrete. It is a fine powder that acts as the glue that holds concrete together when mixed with water, sand and aggregates.
Cement is manufactured by heating a precise mixture of finely ground limestone, clay and sand in a rotating kiln to temperatures reaching 1450ºC. This results in the production of cement clinker, an intermediate product in the manufacture of cement. The cement clinker emerges from the kiln, is cooled, and then finely ground to produce the powder we know as cement. The fuels combusted to heat the kiln account for about 40% of cement manufacturing emissions. The remaining 60% are “process emissions” — i.e. when limestone is superheated, it releases its carbon atoms and forms CO2 in the kiln — that are effectively irreducible. The Canadian cement and concrete industry is pursuing a variety of innovative measures to further reduce its carbon footprint.
