Was going to make a snarky comment about anticipating the yearly World Water Day article from Modern Water, but seems this has already been posted:

Given it's now 22 March and first Glanaco deliveries due March to Central Asia some evidence of progress might be reasonably anticipated (things going so well shutting for 17 March not an issue...).

The Company is, with development partner Phoenix Biomass Energy Inc. ("Phoenix") pursuing commissioning and start-up of the North Fork Community Power LLC ("NFCP") plant and business, and financial close of the Blue Mountain Energy Company LLC ("BMEC") project.
On 12 October 2022, the Company announced that, following many months of delay due to a combination of local forest fires, pandemic-related challenges in labour and supply chain and the ensuing need to re-finance the project to address delays, NFCP had entered into an agreement for financial restructuring with the project lenders towards full funding of the project up to the commercial operations date ("COD") of the North Fork, California plant. It further revealed that the third-party funding had been agreed through pre-negotiated, Chapter 11 bankruptcy arrangements. The restructure project finance has enabled work to restart at the site and the Company anticipates that NFCP will reach COD later in 2023. Three of the Company's executive directors will be on site there in February, toward development of the plan for both technical and business readiness of the plant.
Phoenix is also pursuing development of the BMEC project in Wilseyville, California. In its interim results on 29 September 2022, the Company revealed that development funding had been secured to support concept design work toward application for a large, federal loan to support construction of the plant and that additional term sheets had been received from both equity investors and lenders. The Company understands that the concept design work was completed, and the federal loan application submitted in January 2023 and that a response is expected by early April 2023. Subject to achievement of full funding by Phoenix, the Company is told to expect by May 2023 a contract for detailed design and technology sales.

Biomass plant—updates: Wade Wheeler gave an update of the progress of the biomass energy project. They are anticipating completion (operational) by June 2023.

Interim Results

RNS Number : 8205S
Aptamer Group PLC
14 March 2023
Dr Arron Tolley, Chief Executive Officer of Aptamer Group, said:
"Looking ahead, we anticipate significantly higher revenues in the second half with a material uplift occurring in the final quarter of our financial year, as many of the current contracted development projects near completion or begin secondary phases. In addition, we have a strong and growing pipeline of qualified opportunities reflecting the increasing global demand for our services and recognition across the life sciences market of the technology's capabilities and value. This large and varied pipeline of opportunities gives us belief in the positive momentum and longer term potential of the business and, although timing and conversion rates for these opportunities carry some uncertainty, we believe that we can deliver revenue in line with market expectations for the full year."

Given news flow last March (note referenced RNS of 11 March in quotation from 28 March) an update from company on current state of play doesn't seem too much to expect...

Speaking of videos, when can we expect marketing to shine a spotlight on PD? With just an ounce of creativity a world of exposure possible.
A demonstration of the technology should be easy to arrange...

Development work for this project has been underway since H1 and payment of microbiome testing and software licenses fees will be in this financial year.
Ross Walker COO MèreMer, commented:
We're delighted to have DeepVerge as a key partner to this."
https://www.lse.co.uk/rns/DVRG/blue-carbon-resilience-project-llo7245zw6r8akx.html
Sure it wasn't hinted at in broker note of 27 October, but then nor was the Glanaco order (unless we consider them to fall under the 6.5 million with new customers expecting decision by end 22).
MèreMer is providing class-leading 'measurement, monitoring and metrics' using their earth-observation, remote-sensing and machine-learning capabilities, coupled with ground-breaking environmental science.
In tandem with this, their relationships with international finance will assist with securing the necessary funding to deliver Soutenir to the very highest level. MèreMer is a technology company operating at the intersection of fintech and climatetech. Their platform supports and validates climate-positive projects and connects them to the carbon-offsetting, ESG and sustainability requirements of the corporate sector.
MÈREMER - at this point anything positive for them has to be viewed positively for DVRG as we wait news on additional 3.5 million of Blue Carbon sites...:

It is expected that this restructuring will also result in cost savings for the Company of up to £2.0m on an annualised basis. The incremental cash costs of implementing the reorganisation are not expected to exceed £0.2m. The Company will seek to minimise the impact of these measures on the workforce, however potential redundancies may need to be considered in some areas of the business. The anticipated result of this restructuring is the Company being in a stronger and healthier position to execute the more focused strategy.
Further to the notification of 14 November 2022, and as anticipated, the Company confirms it has transferred the requisite funds from the recent fundraising to Riverfort to settle all outstanding amounts under its loan facility.
Nigel Burton, CEO of DeepVerge plc commented:
"This restructuring will enable the Company to build on the unrealised value created within both business divisions in order to maximise shareholder value."
