Australian (ASX) Stock Market Forum

I am tipping is down the s bend. Will be happy to be wrong for the sake of holders.
I hope not, but it is very new and sketchy tech.
I don't have a lot of skin in the game, so not a major issue, just a punt. I'm already well ahead,:xyxthumbs so will keep an eye on it.
 
LOL! I dont think ASIC or the ASX have a great track record with policing. HZR had to greatly dilute the one patent they have finally managed to get up in Australia, after 5 years they have been unable to get any of the international patents granted they have applied for, other than one fairly meaningless one in South Africa.
 
The methane fueled demonstration plant is expected to be running by January 2021, if it is on time and on budget, there should be a lot of investor interest and speculation in Dec 2020.
 
Hazer to get a small W.A government injection of fund, to conduct a feasibility study.

Sounds like Mandurah could become a test bed, for hydrogen powered public transport, makes a lot of sense compact area with metro rail connection.

Hydrogen powered buses/cars/trucks have been around for decades, a feasibility study into something that is proven is a bit of a waste of time but we have to start somewhere.

Probably more of a PR stunt at this time, however the cost associated with installing the H2 handling facilities will probably be required. As you say they have to start somewhere, hope it all goes ahead.
IMO W.A is perfectly situated to go full H2 transport. Small population, abundant solar and wind generation and large distances, which tends to favour H2 over BEV due to better range.
So due the fact, that there in reality isn't that many cars and buses in W.A, the amount of H2 required will be quite small, compared to larger populated States.

Yes, as @So_Cynical mentioned, hydrogen powered buses are there for ages. Mr Ellison is behind the scene and earning publicity stunt. But market did not like it. Hence two successive days share prices went south. They are playing the game. But people working in Mineral Resources did advise there are something confidential stuff getting cooked. I am still in observation phase for HZR and holding until the turn is too severely south,

IF the hazer process actually works as it is supposed to, there may be a huge market, in the petrochemical industry.

From the article:
Washington: Fossil-fuel production may be responsible for much more atmospheric methane than scientists previously thought, according to new research published today in the journal Nature.
Methane is a powerful heat-trapping gas - about 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide over a period of 100 years - but because it's not as abundant as carbon dioxide it has a lower climate impact overall.

The results, if they hold, suggest that methane needs to be managed even more tightly than was accounted for in multilateral initiatives such as the 2015 Paris Agreement - not to mention many policies on the national and local level.
Scientists aren't challenging the topline amount of methane that enters the atmosphere every year that number stays at about 194 million metric tonnes, says Benjamin Hmiel, a post-doctoral fellow in Earth science at the University of Rochester and the study's lead author.

Rather, they're challenging how much of the total comes from natural versus industrial sources, an important distinction for policy-makers.
The new paper's estimate is dramatically smaller: Just 5 million tonnes, at most, come from natural sources or "seeps", the study says. "If it's not coming from seeps, then it's coming from fossil-fuel operations," says Rob Jackson, a Stanford professor of Earth system science who wasn't involved in the study
.

The hazer process IF it works will present a way of using the methane, to produce a marketable byproduct.
As miner says, I also am sitting on a few, waiting to see which way to jump.
 
HAZ SP is rising substantially. Could be news in the wing or investors believing the Jan announcement is very significant.
Big volumes since Tuesday and has jumped from 44c to 55c
Some times I just swim with the flow than against it.
For me HZR investment fared better than BHP or NCM investment on my account comparing the same period so, until it falls down to make BHP and / or NCM looking better performer on my account, I am not complaining :)
