No I meant what I said. Watch the sellers( whom having sold, are buying back in on realising that AXS technology has global implications and application).

I'm wondering if our EU friends are buying too.

Azalea - did you mean to say "watch the buyers pile back in today"?

[azalea] 15/5/2007 09:25

Asparks

Thank you for the Independent article. Watch the sellers pile back in today!


Global deforestation is probably the single greatest threat to the planet's climate. The threat has been gathering pace over 15-20 years across the world despite the ecological and human disasters witnessed as a direct result.

The EU with its significant market clout and international bodies at the meeting in Bonn, could provide a huge PR bonanza for AXS technology.

"Deforestation: The hidden cause of global warming" (see below)

The destruction of rainforests for quality hardwood could be slowed down by using AXS timber which is grown in sustainable softwood plantations......



Deforestation: The hidden cause of global warming
In the next 24 hours, deforestation will release as much CO2 into the atmosphere as 8 million people flying from London to New York. Stopping the loggers is the fastest and cheapest solution to climate change. So why are global leaders turning a blind eye to this crisis?
By Daniel Howden
Published: 14 May 2007
The accelerating destruction of the rainforests that form a precious cooling band around the Earth's equator, is now being recognised as one of the main causes of climate change. Carbon emissions from deforestation far outstrip damage caused by planes and automobiles and factories.

The rampant slashing and burning of tropical forests is second only to the energy sector as a source of greenhouses gases according to report published today by the Oxford-based Global Canopy Programme, an alliance of leading rainforest scientists.

Figures from the GCP, summarising the latest findings from the United Nations, and building on estimates contained in the Stern Report, show deforestation accounts for up to 25 per cent of global emissions of heat-trapping gases, while transport and industry account for 14 per cent each; and aviation makes up only 3 per cent of the total.

"Tropical forests are the elephant in the living room of climate change," said Andrew Mitchell, the head of the GCP.

Scientists say one days' deforestation is equivalent to the carbon footprint of eight million people flying to New York. Reducing those catastrophic emissions can be achieved most quickly and most cheaply by halting the destruction in Brazil, Indonesia, the Congo and elsewhere.

No new technology is needed, says the GCP, just the political will and a system of enforcement and incentives that makes the trees worth more to governments and individuals standing than felled. "The focus on technological fixes for the emissions of rich nations while giving no incentive to poorer nations to stop burning the standing forest means we are putting the cart before the horse," said Mr Mitchell.

Most people think of forests only in terms of the CO2 they absorb. The rainforests of the Amazon, the Congo basin and Indonesia are thought of as the lungs of the planet. But the destruction of those forests will in the next four years alone, in the words of Sir Nicholas Stern, pump more CO2 into the atmosphere than every flight in the history of aviation to at least 2025.

Indonesia became the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world last week. Following close behind is Brazil. Neither nation has heavy industry on a comparable scale with the EU, India or Russia and yet they comfortably outstrip all other countries, except the United States and China.

What both countries do have in common is tropical forest that is being cut and burned with staggering swiftness. Smoke stacks visible from space climb into the sky above both countries, while satellite images capture similar destruction from the Congo basin, across the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic and the Republic of Congo.

According to the latest audited figures from 2003, two billion tons of CO2 enters the atmosphere every year from deforestation. That destruction amounts to 50 million acres - or an area the size of England, Wales and Scotland felled annually.

The remaining standing forest is calculated to contain 1,000 billion tons of carbon, or double what is already in the atmosphere.

As the GCP's report concludes: "If we lose forests, we lose the fight against climate change."

Standing forest was not included in the original Kyoto protocols and stands outside the carbon markets that the report from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) pointed to this month as the best hope for halting catastrophic warming.

The landmark Stern Report last year, and the influential McKinsey Report in January agreed that forests offer the "single largest opportunity for cost-effective and immediate reductions of carbon emissions".

International demand has driven intensive agriculture, logging and ranching that has proved an inexorable force for deforestation; conservation has been no match for commerce. The leading rainforest scientists are now calling for the immediate inclusion of standing forests in internationally regulated carbon markets that could provide cash incentives to halt this disastrous process.

Forestry experts and policy makers have been meeting in Bonn, Germany, this week to try to put deforestation on top of the agenda for the UN climate summit in Bali, Indonesia, this year. Papua New Guinea, among the world's poorest nations, last year declared it would have no choice but to continue deforestation unless it was given financial incentives to do otherwise.

Richer nations already recognise the value of uncultivated land. The EU offers €200 (£135) per hectare subsidies for "environmental services" to its farmers to leave their land unused.

And yet there is no agreement on placing a value on the vastly more valuable land in developing countries. More than 50 per cent of the life on Earth is in tropical forests, which cover less than 7 per cent of the planet's surface.

They generate the bulk of rainfall worldwide and act as a thermostat for the Earth. Forests are also home to 1.6 billion of the world's poorest people who rely on them for subsistence. However, forest experts say governments continue to pursue science fiction solutions to the coming climate catastrophe, preferring bio-fuel subsidies, carbon capture schemes and next-generation power stations.

Putting a price on the carbon these vital forests contain is the only way to slow their destruction. Hylton Philipson, a trustee of Rainforest Concern, explained: "In a world where we are witnessing a mounting clash between food security, energy security and environmental security - while there's money to be made from food and energy and no income to be derived from the standing forest, it's obvious that the forest will take the hit."

Good start today. Eat my hat(rice paper) if it does not top 4+ euros.

[partimetrader] 15/5/2007 04:02

springhead - Many thanks for the comments regarding the input on the Tanfield board. I have to say, it was very enjoyable to share some knowledge of the subject with all concerned. When the time is right, I am sure I will revisit again. The Modec float will be very exciting when it happens.

[damanko] 14/5/2007 23:35

Fryern. Told you before ref MGT - not slating, just commenting. Yes, still in Libya, though they're still paying me to go away every 6 weeks, so I suppose life could be worse.

If/when I get a reply from M&C I'll advise you, posssibly through an email on the other site, or whatever.

For others reading in, and not here 20 months ago, welcome. In many years of hype / counterhype / ramping / deramping ...... blah blah blah, these ADVFN threads will not have seen many better prospects than Accsys. Or so it seems right now, time will tell. Tomorrorow a reasonably big test.

[damanko] 14/5/2007 22:55

Check the main AXS thread. Floated October 2005. Priced in Euro's

[fryern] 14/5/2007 22:54

Damanko

You still in Lybia?

Please update on STG/ M&C when you get some news

Stop slating MGT it will happen. It's cancer, it's medical, it takes time. You ain't seen nothing yet!!!

Springhead welcome aboard. Going to be a fun time.

CEO just has to announce a load of franchises and after tomorrow's EGM he can......

[damanko] 14/5/2007 21:42

Well. Fryern - you and I know this more or less from the start, interesting times or what. I would hope that everything stays under control, see no reason for it not to, our average ADVFN ramper is a little late. Tomorrow should shed a little more light, am about to pen a little note to M&C CEO, requesting a tad of clarification.

[springhead] 14/5/2007 20:16

Fryern.
I don't bear grudges, good luck to you and all with your investments as well.
By the way, this company was highlighted on the TAN thread, that is why I am here.

[azalea] 14/5/2007 20:14

Given the trades, I was surprised to see the share price stay resolutely below 4 euro at the e.o.d. Tomorrow will be a very interesting day.

[fryern] 14/5/2007 20:05

My best investments I have held for 20 years

I'm still a spring chicken

Good luck to all

AXS still a secret perhaps.

Still cheap

Springhead that wasn't aimed at you just that people will get hurt if the price races ahead of reality.

Got to build the plants and then we have REVENUE and reality

[springhead] 14/5/2007 18:58

It all depends what you call long time investors, I was in and out of TAN for 6 months, that is a long time for me.
Like it or not, other investors are going to flock here, that must be good news.
Partimetrader did a sterling job on the TAN board and will do the same here, I think you would do well to give him a break and let him do his stuff.

[partimetrader] 14/5/2007 18:53

To be fair, I think perhaps people see my nickname and see that as "one day here and next day gone".

I do try not to be too 'comfortable' with stock, therefore the danger not being able to see the obvious downside. However, if there are long term potentials, like here I will take that view.

I involve myself in both day trading and longer term investing. I don't see this as a day trade. I could have taken a profit today from my early input, but I choose not to with this, staying for the longer haul.

[fryern] 14/5/2007 18:51

I'm not ramping MGT

I keep telling you AXS is a SNIP started at E1.10

I'm just telling you that AXS and MGT are both out of the same stable

I say buy MGT at $5 currently $4

MGT will do for cancer what AXS does for wood

AXS CEO and MGT CEO are brothers.

46 Berkeley Square. All funded from ...... but I'm not going to tell you.

You'll have to go there .......

Springhead they are long term investments I don't like the cowboy investers. They just confuse the real issues and create bubbles.

[springhead] 14/5/2007 18:40

I completely agree with you PTT.
I'm here to make money, keep up the good work!!

Didn't think we would meet such negativity on here!!
As for "Better when this was quiet" and "So much repetition and ramping", I have read every post here and one person keeps ramping MGT!!!

[partimetrader] 14/5/2007 18:34

For your information, I too am looking for the long term investment. However, information is good for those too wishing to invest in the stock for long term.

[goosegreen] 14/5/2007 18:15

I agree Fryern - I didn't realise that this partimers thread!
So much repetition and ramping. All unnecessary.

Jon

[fryern] 14/5/2007 18:08

Better when this was quiet

I've been in for a long time

This is a long term investment - I thought

It's all about opening more plants at the source of the product - the forests.

Danger of too much punting in this.

However imo the price is currently still far too cheap.

[partimetrader] 14/5/2007 17:25

Daily, I will try to update the charts thread with an end of day chart where I can. have done so today.



News for prospective holders:

Announced a strategic partnership with Accsys Technologies PLC, and its subsidiary Titan Wood, for application of Celanese's core acetyl products in Accsys' proprietary Accoya™ wood production process.

The environmental science and technology company said the agreement will see it supply acetyls to the licensees of its proprietary Accoya wood production process.

This will enable Accsys' licensees to concentrate their investment spending on the core wood modification business and is expected to accelerate the uptake of Accoya technology.

In addition, Celanese is to subscribe for 8.1m shares in Accsys, or around 5.5% of the company, at €2.72 per share, representing an investment of €22m.

Celanese will have an option to increase its ownership of Accsys to 29.9% in the future at the market price at that time.

"The strategic partnership with Celanese is the perfect fit, which guarantees supply of acetyls for our Licensees, as well as our own operations in Arnhem," said executive chairman of Accsys
Willy Paterson-Brown.

"With successful production in Arnhem, and supply of acetyls secure, we are now able to turn our attention to licensing, which we had placed on hold while we negotiated terms with Celanese."

"Although this will impact results to March 31st 2007, the first full license should be signed in the second quarter and the several licence options that are presently under negotiation are expected to mature, accelerating our future growth," he added.
