It's not Batelle now - way too small volume

Turkish Airways to evaluate Biodiesel alternatives with Solena..
Another chalk on the board for OCG?

[gac141] 25/6/2013 13:56

I still wonder when Battelle will be out- They said they would sell so I think it is them that are selling.

[arf dysg] 25/6/2013 13:31

It finally hit the placing price. Does that mean that the last of the placees who wanted to sell have now sold?

[hawkwind4] 25/6/2013 11:41

Sales required for pick me up

Although I believe the OCG story I'm not in at the moment and for me it's the lack of a commercial deal. It's the "everybody wants to be third" problem and I think the share price is in trouble until some orders arrive. Long term though I think it's a winner.

It's the market, usual behavior, when everything was rising we were stagnating, but when everything is falling, few PIs are panicking and dragging the price on low volume. Buyers are standing on the sidelines and waiting for a signal - we're getting quite cheap.

[arf dysg] 24/6/2013 15:17

What's happened to the price?


Looks like they have an inexpensive catalyst which turns CO2 into CO.

"...inexpensive catalyst that uses the electricity generated from solar energy to convert carbon dioxide... into synthetic fuels..."

"Carbon monoxide is used industrially in the water-gas shift reaction to make hydrogen gas. It also is a prime feedstock for the Fischer-Tropsch process, which allows for the production of synthetic petroleum, gasoline and diesel."

gac141, I tried on a different computer (Windows 7) and it worked. On an old Linux computer it didn't work. That's probably because the Linux is prehistoric by computer standards (at least 4 years old).

Convert CO2 to methanol easily

Thanks Supernumerary! This adds comment to original.

[gac141] 21/6/2013 09:03

Hmm I can get in... tried to copy an paste but that didn't work either..leave it with me..

[arf dysg] 21/6/2013 08:29

gac141, it wants a password to open the pdf file.

[gac141] 20/6/2013 17:18

Interesting..

Might have to put two and two together...



Bloomberg have said something on this today..not seen it yet...

It will be no surprise to see OCG involved in this....

[beeezzz] 20/6/2013 16:59

I'm sure this has been posted, if not maybe of interest. Well in the red here so just left to recover over next couple of years.

"cost-effective biofuel production"

June 19, 2013 - Improved methods for breaking down cellulose nanofibers are central to cost-effective biofuel production and the subject of new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC). Scientists are investigating the unique properties of crystalline cellulose nanofibers to develop novel chemical pretreatments and designer enzymes for biofuel production from cellulosic -- or non-food -- plant derived biomass.

You mean like this?

[arf dysg] 20/6/2013 09:55

Didn't she used to sing? Like in the sixties?

[gac141] 19/6/2013 17:04

Thanks...Either way it is good to see the spouse of a director buying in...

[sailastra] 19/6/2013 11:07

Gac It was not "Sandy" who purchased shares it was her spouse "Cecil"

Director's Shareholding

Oxford Catalysts Group PLC (OCG.L), the smaller scale Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) technology innovator, announces that it received notification today from Sandy Shaw, Non-Executive Director of the Company, that her spouse, Cecil Shaw, yesterday purchased 17,758 ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 140p per share.

- Ends -

[gac141] 19/6/2013 08:31

I might add on Sandy's Purchase...as she is involved with the contracts; her purchase adds confidence.

[gac141] 18/6/2013 17:35

Sandy is a lady BTW...

Other news from Solena- Latest projects

Qantas

Founded in the Queensland outback in 1920, Qantas has grown to be Australia's largest domestic and international airline. Registered originally as the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited (QANTAS), Qantas is widely regarded as one of the world's leading long distance airlines and one of the strongest brands in Australia. Over the next 10 years, the Qantas Group has committed capital investment worth around $23 billion in more fuel efficient, next generation aircraft, such as the Airbus A380, Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A320 neo. Qantas is committed to renew their current fleet to offer the greatest benefits to fuel efficiency in the long run by replacing older aircraft with new more fuel-efficient aircraft. In addition, Solena is developing an IBGTL facility in Sydney.

Ah, is that the £1 on "panel on takeovers and mergers" ? I'd forgotten that.

So yes, that means he may well have paid £12.50 commission.

[huttonr] 18/6/2013 16:49

Arf

You forgot the contract levy £1.00 - I suggest that he paid £12.50 commission with £1 left over - insufficient to buy another share.

However, the main thing is that it is a small vote of confidence.
