Decided to bet on Humpty Dumpty instead

Bargain price considering the potential.


Just a little bet...just in case.

MSAR and bioMSAR are manufactured using a proprietary process in which the hydrocarbon residue is reduced to particles of approximately 5–10 microns in diameter. The surfactant chemicals ensure that the resultant emulsion is stable throughout transportation, storage, fuel handling and consumption. Quadrise is able to tailor the production process to suit different residue types and applications, broadening its applicability. The key steps in the manufacturing process are:

■

(1): oil residues are taken direct from a refinery or heavy oil production site and cooled to under 200º C to achieve the required viscosity for the colloid mill. This is a machine used to reduce the particle size of a solid in suspension in a liquid, or to reduce the droplet size in emulsions.

■

(2): water, which can be derived from several utility or waste-water sources, is added to the residue.

■

(3): special additives are included in the water phase to stabilise the emulsion for long-term storage and conventional transport, and to promote complete combustion.

■

(4): the mixture is processed in a proprietary emulsion module to produce a highly stable oil-in-water emulsion with enhanced fuel properties.

■

(5): glycerine can be added to the water, additives and oil residuals to

Around 70% of the output from a typical semi-complex refinery post-refining is high-value transportation fuel and 30% low-value residue. This tar-like residue is typically solid at room temperature. Consequently, if not processed further, it can only be used for limited volume applications such as road surfacing material. Refineries widen the market for this residue by blending it with some of the high-value transportation fuel to create HFO in a mix that is 60–80% low-value residue and 20–40% valuable distillate. HFO is sold at a discount (c 4-12% as of October 2022) to crude oil, resulting in a loss for the producer.

Quadrise’s proprietary MSAR process removes the need to blend the heavy residues with distillates to make HFO, significantly improving refinery yields. The hydrocarbon residue (c 70%) is processed instead with water (c 30%) and small amounts (<1%) of specialised surfactants and emulsifiers from Quadrise’s long-term partner Nouryon, so the refiner can retain all of the high-value distillates for sale at a premium to crude oil, improving its profitability. Quadrise calculates that MSAR can generate savings of 10-40% compared with HFO and bioMSAR can generate savings of 10-15% compared to conventional biofuel.

Amusing how threatened they feel by anyone posting anything positive!

So did anyone from QFI work on Leandra’s engine when it was in dock last ? Maybe using a spanner ?

I found it funny that the trial was considered underway with the fuel being stuck in customs, absolutely laughable.

@haggismchaggis1, would be nice to know who the client was...
We have a client that can not be confirmed, and the 1st test fuel held up at customs,

It's just plain embarrassing. Last April we were led to believe news on all 3 fronts, Utah ,Morocco and MSC was due. 10 months later the company appears to be in a state of a Coma, weak pulse but absolutely no movements. The only thing you can be sure of is that Jason is still collecting his salary.
Every Monday I think maybe this is the week, but no, nothing, zilch.

'Focus on three customer programmes

Quadrise is currently focused on three customer programmes: (1) pending on-vessel trials with MSC; (2) on-site trials with a chemicals and mining group in Morocco to generate power for industrial processes; and (3) discussions regarding the commercial production of bioMSAR and MSAR adjacent to proposed oil wells in Utah. The earliest that any of these projects may proceed to commercial supply is the middle of CY 2023.

Quadrise was admitted to AIM in April 2006 and its headquarters are in London. It also has an R&D facility in the UK where it develops bespoke MSAR and bioMSAR solutions for residual oils and biofuels, some of which activity is paid for by the potential customer. It currently employs nine staff excluding non-executive directors and consultants.

Proven alternative to heavy fuel oil.

Technologies that can reduce emissions today

Adoption of green fuels such as methanol, ammonia and hydrogen is often proposed as a solution for reaching net zero. However there are many obstacles to overcome before these are widely deployed including manufacturing these fuels in sufficient volume and at competitive price points and transporting these fuels to where they will be used. Quadrise’s portfolio of synthetic fuels and biofuels, MSAR and bioMSAR, provides a proven, economically attractive route for reducing emissions that is compatible with existing infrastructure for transporting, storing and using fuel and can be readily integrated within existing infrastructure.

Targeting commercial revenues in H1 CY23

Quadrise is currently engaged in three key trial programmes which, if successful, could potentially start to generate commercial revenues from H1 CY23 onwards. These are (1) with MSC Shipmanagement (MSC), part of the world’s largest shipping line, which is looking for environmentally friendly bunker fuels, (2) with a large Moroccan industrials group for on-site use and (3) creation of a multi-purpose low-sulphur fuel or biofuel from surface oil sands and sub-surface heavy oil in Utah. Management estimates that the group has sufficient cash to reach commercial revenues in H1 CY23 and to cover project expenditure and fixed costs up to early H2 CY23, although additional funding may be required to bridge the gap to sustainable cash generation from H2 CY24 onwards.

Valuation: Modest adoption transformational

We are not presenting forecasts at this stage. However, as a rough guide, based on data from the company, our scenario analysis calculates that even modest adoption of MSAR could generate material revenues and take the company to sustainable profitability. For example, adoption across only 8% of MSC’s global fleet could generate around $106m in licence revenues and require minimal capex.

Quadrise Fuels International — Key role in transitioning to net-zero

While there is much discussion about the use of green fuels to achieve net zero carbon emissions, in practice there are many hurdles to overcome before these can be widely deployed. Quadrise’s synthetic oil and biofuel technology provides a proven, economically attractive route for reducing emissions today and eliminating them completely by 2030.

TotalEnergies Marine Fuels, Hapag-Lloyd complete first biofuel bunker term delivery in Singapore

February 8, 2023


TotalEnergies Marine Fuels has successfully completed its first refuelling of a Hapag-Lloyd container vessel in Singapore with sustainable, UCOME (Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester)-based, marine biofuel.

This first bunker operation marks the start of a term supply agreement between the two companies, which commits TotalEnergies to provide VLSFO (Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil) blended with 24% second-generation, waste-based and ISCC-certified UCOME to Hapag-Lloyd’s ships.

Based on a well-to-wake assessment, this B24 biofuel blend will reduce approximately 20% of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions compared with conventional fuel oil, according to a statement.



As part of this operation, Hapag-Lloyd’s 15,000 TEU container vessel Afif took on 2,000 MT of biofuel on 20 January 2023. The ship-to-ship biofuel transfer was made possible with the services rendered by Jurong Port Universal Terminal Pte Ltd (JPUT), which also took on 100% UCOME bio-component into their storage tanks for the first time, which further underscores the significance of this operation.

Jan Christensen, senior director of global fuel purchasing at Hapag-Lloyd, commented, “This is another early step for Hapag-Lloyd on our decarbonisation journey. In combination with other green fuels, biofuel will play an important role towards a carbon-free environment by 2045.

Consistent supply of biofuel in Singapore will allow us to offer sustainable transportation solutions to our customers, thereby supporting them in their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint.”

Louise Tricoire, vice president of TotalEnergies Marine Fuels, said, “This biofuel bunker term contract also ushers a new chapter for TotalEnergies Marine Fuels, as we build on our operational expertise gained from multiple biofuel bunker trials we have done in 2022, to provide a scalable solution of this lower-carbon marine fuel.”

If they actually wrote something sensible then perhaps they wouldn't be ignored but so far I haven't heard anything of value from them.
