Thanks pangaeatech for finding this - see Sent, I'm not crazy after all...well maybe I am - hehe!!!

And thanks to Jack for initiallly coming up with this.

This is worth looking into. Much better researching and posting potentially positive info, than people wasting their time and energy with negative posts and talk of SCAMS!!!

I believe Jack is incorrect when he states that Alcar need hydrogen - I believe ACMG produces hydrogen as a byproduct of their biomass. Maybe it would be easier and cheaper to harness and sell the hydrogen, if they two companies were located on the same site. just guessing here.

If Fredoboy is still kicking around, maybe he can check it out, in person. This would explain why the people that run the industrial park have not been dealing with Alcar, SIAM, or Dr. C.

Another possibility...I have studied the web site of the Bus. park in Becancour. All of the available sites that are listed don't fit the size stated by Dr. C. nor do any have an existing building on them. So, to negotiate a deal for a lot with a building already on it, Alcar would have to negotiate with owners of an existing lot, not the managers of the business park.
One other posibility sub lease a parcel of a large existing plant that has unused area of there plant as most companies will overbuy land to allow for expansion. One that fits this idea is Socite PCI Chemi Canada. It is located on 180 acres, so Alcar's megar 8 1/2 acres may not be a mojor imposition, area wise. As a bonus, a byproduct of PCI's process is Hydrogen. It just so happens that alcar needs hydrogen for their process. A win win for both companies. No transport cost of hydrogen for Alcar, Captured customer buying your hydrogen. I have seen simalar type arraingments along the ship channel industry here in Houston.
