Yes, I understand they have several possibilities being considered for the remaining $30M. It is a real shame the DOE clamped a lid on further funding, since that was grant money, meaning there is no pay-back required!
I also think that, once the current Chinese market shakeup is over, there could be renewed interest from a Chinese source, as they seem to seriously want Bluefire's process for both environmental reasons and for increasing China's fuel supply. If the Saudi oil rigs and pipelines get seriously damaged, there will come a serious pull, on both local and imported energy supplies, in a number of countries, including China.
