Net-Man.....here is another KDS sales possibility. As you may recall.....back in the 90's, FASC sold a KDS to the U.S. military for biomass use; the KDS was chosen over a number of other competitors for a specific job, and it performed well from the accounts that I heard.

Subsequently, there was some talk about the possibility of another KDS sale to the U.S. military, but nothing more came of it.

And now we have this......might be a good time for FASC to re-explore the military connection....

Military biofuel use could jump-start advanced biofuel market
By Staff | January 07, 2013

Source: E2, Economic Benefits of Military Biofuels reportA report commissioned by Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2) finds that the U.S. military’s plans to expand its use of biofuel could generate more than $10 billion in economic activity while creating more than 14,000 jobs by 2020.

According to Nicole Lederer, E2 co-founder, the military’s biofuel initiatives are the single most important market signal to the clean energy industry. Its policies constitute the most comprehensive U.S. federal energy policy to advance clean energy technologies today, she says. “They [the military] are doing it for national security objectives; suffice to say, the military believes alternative fuels are mission-critical from an installations, operational and budgetary perspective.”

Lederer added that what we’ve experienced so far is the tip of the iceberg. Military demand is helping to scale the advanced biofuels industry into larger markets, she said, including the civil, commercial and aviation markets.
