There was talk of this at the time (which received very little media attention of course) before the sulphur ban and now NASA seems to be seeing scary evidence confirming this.

Shipping Pollution Curbs Made Climate Change Worse, Controversial NASA Study Claims

"...a major reduction in emissions of sulfur dioxide in 2020, following the introduction of new international shipping fuel regulations, led to a "termination shock" that they say could add 0.16 degrees Celsius (0.29 degrees Fahrenheit) of heat to the world's oceans over seven years, greatly accelerating global warming.

The researchers say this is possible because sulfur dioxide, produced by the burning of high-sulfur fuels in ships, reacts with water vapor in the atmosphere to produce aerosols that reflect sunlight back into space. It also helps increase cloud coverage, shielding the ocean from the sun. Reducing those sulfur dioxide emissions, the researchers claim, has therefore led to more of the sun's energy reaching the oceans"

So, looks like what's seriously (and quickly) needed is a game changing emulsion fuel that results in water vapour emissions to aid cloud formation and help cool the oceans.

Anyone know of one?

Brilliant post by Chequepal yesterday at 1630, broke the 'like' counter by the looks of it!

The usual Billy big Bass took the bait though!

"despite having bought the stock at way higher prices many years ago."

And who did you post as on here many many ago then? Hmmmm??

No chance!

Obviously , the resident control freak will blow his top for me mentioning i on heret, but there are, thanks to maggulus, some excellent pictures of the just drilled Utah core samples on the forum.

On my phone so can't link on here but they look rock hard which will be much to Hoodoo's chagrin!

Such selective memories on here.

Where did you get that image of the Ford BIoMSAR zero test vessel thats waiting off-the-shelf?

Most of us on here know who he is, his past history of ' totally loyal, expert on everything ramp up and run' to reappear later under new nom de plume.

Its his job after all

The tuck ups speak for ourselves!

Read the RNS ..and bear in mind it's just a RNS-REACH!

"a newly-designed prototype motor yacht" nothing in stock hiding on a shelf. A NEW boat that no doubt they'd like to get ready for the big boat shows in the Autumn of one year or another (hopefully this).

It's a highly competetive industry .

As is his way Whisky. Quiet earlier this week while he offloads no doubt, this isn't his hobby remember!

Hottie, QED aren't building it!

With thanks to our resident superyacht owner on the forum. Looks like THIS could be the new boat... Volvo engine for testing in Sweden possibly?

The first Focus 3X models will be launched in the summer of 2024.

Last paragraph...

"Additionally, we are excited about our new collaboration with Vertoro, a leading Dutch innovator in carbon-neutral marine fuels and sustainable technologies."

Clearly not such a 'simple investor' as they like to make out!

LSE are very hot on folks posting L2 data as it can impact their business. Pity they aren't so hot on those with multiplee logins / usernames and hundreds of posts a week to acheive some aim or another!

With thanks to Dusty for some research on the Forum, it appears Valkor have a license to drill ONLY ONE WELL!

Shouldn't take long then

Utah is once again a 'Goalposts moved ' project. What started out as simply scraping oil saturated sands from surface layers and removing the sand using Petrotech's proprietary 'Clean Oil Recovery Technology' (CORT) has changed to one of drilling for subsurface oils (which is still thick and waxy).

Extraction of these thick waxy residues is difficult, it's not like pulling up a free flowing liquid which you can do with a small number of drillings hidden away. CO2 has to be pumped in to the well (Huff n Puff) to mobilise a relatively small amount of oil for extraction. Think of it in simple terms as like trying to get all the jam and cream layer out of a Victoria sponge using a plastic straw from above. You literally need hundreds of wells to extract a significant quantity. This can decimate a landscape and is expensive to acheive any amount of profitability. I can't see that any QED equipment going out to UTAH will happen until these sub surface residues are tested to ensure they are also suitable for the MSAR processes (more sample waiting!)

Of course, the MSAR process can make this extracted oil more marketable but it's a long road ever to get to this stage!

Spot on Monkeymo, some people get excited about raindrops running down a window!

The company will get their cash, that's for sure. It's what they do with it other than sitting by the phone thats important. Especially important when the Utah cash doesn't arrive and the bowl would have to be out again in 9 months time.

Ah, so not "massively oversubscribed " like you said the last OO would be!?

Hedging your bets this time!

Anyone care to count how many times the word 'expect' appears n the company's last 20 releases!?
