talks to Proactive Investors London about the new opportunities for business as the company puts a 'challenging year' behind them.

Executive Chairman Mike Kirk has a reputation for being a plain speaker and says he likes to be honest with investors. After the November AGM Kirk repeats the answers to the tough questions on his company and gives new detail on why he believes 2019 will be so different.

There's no doubt been question marks over Quadrise but Kirk says looking at the pedigree and experience of the board, investors can judge for themselves what 2019 will hold for the emulsion fuel business, particularly with the critical bringing forward of new regulations on emissions.

are buy now .lots of buy gone to NEX ......

Freepoint tie-up could be transformational

But while previous trials and agreements haven’t led to anything more formal or commercial – something reflected in Quadrise’s £27mln market cap – there is much more optimism surrounding a recent tie-up with US commodities powerhouse, Freepoint.

In the past, the company has acted as a quasi-middleman: it would license its technology to a refiner and then go and find it a customer to sell the MSAR to.

“With Freepoint, what we’re looking to do is buy the residue from the refiner, build and operate an MSAR production facility and then sell that directly to consumers,” explains Kirk.

“We think this enables us to look at these opportunities in a totally different way. We’ve got much more control of the overall project and it’ll bring things together on a much more rapid scale.”

Whether it is with Freepoint or on its own, Kirk’s plan for 2019 is to take a project and progress it, which would give him something to point to when he’s looking to get other projects off the ground. The thinking goes that as soon as one customer starts using MSAR, others will follow suit.

“What we’re looking to do during 2019 is take us from where we are now, which we believe is a company that’s always had great promise but has failed to deliver on that, to actually taking at least one of the projects that we’re working on forward, either on our own or with our partners.”

With a recent fund-raise bringing in some much-needed cash, which gives the company some financial breathing room, Kirk is confident that 2019 will be the year when Quadrise makes the transition from talker to doer.

has long been aware of this issue. It has been perfecting a type of fuel called MSAR for the best part of 20 years now.

MSAR is made from the thick, almost solid residues left when lighter fractions such as gasoline and diesel have been distilled from the crude oil which are then mixed with a small amount of water and specialty chemicals.

What’s created is a synthetic heavy fuel oil which is around one-third water. With a couple of simple, relatively cheap tweaks to a ship’s engine or a power station’s boiler, it can be used as a direct replacement for diesel or heavy fuel oil.

Because of the high-water content, the combustion temperature is much lower which reduces NOx emissions, and as MSAR is pre-atomised, it burns almost completely, meaning next to no black soot is pumped out into the atmosphere.

Not only is it cleaner – it reduces nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions by between 20-50% - but MSAR, being made from quite literally the dregs of a barrel, is also cheaper than typical heavy fuel oils as well.

Engines in some of the world’s biggest vessels can be four stories tall and almost as wide. They can burn through gallons of fuel every minute, which in turn creates a large amount of CO2.

International shipping accounts for around 2.2% of all global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the latest data from the UN’s International Maritime Organisation (IMO). To put that into context, that’s the same amount as Germany.

Quadrise hopes 2019 will be the year it puts its words into action......Quadrise has embarked on a number of trials with some big-name partners over the years, but boss Mike Kirk believes its recent tie-up with US commodities powerhouse Freepoint is the real deal.....If someone asks you to list the major causes of climate change, gas guzzling cars and planes are probably at the top of your list, or at least somewhere near.

But if you think those forms of transport are bad, they are a drop in the ocean (excuse the pun) compared with cruise liners and cargo ships.

something is happening lots of buy showing red and the BID gone higher ...i know how quickly this one can rise so just bought some before the rise

agree ..TDT.

lang............everyone has been losing money all the times and one of them edl

is this some sort of code

DescriptionThe Marange diamond fields are an area of widespread small-scale diamond production in Chiadzwa, Mutare West, Zimbabwe. 'Although estimates of the reserves contained in this area vary wildly, some have suggested that it could be home to one of the world's richest diamond

All nonsense

But somebody said earlier they got TIL Friday

More buy then sell a lot more buy
