The DMV which is a huge company conducted tests with FEI funding.

What? The DMV is not a company and you said yourself that FEI was a total scam. Veteran posters here know the truth but maybe (as the board leader), you could supply some proof to support what you post for any newbies here. TIA

Renewable

Here are some facts on things that impact the

1) Urea after-treatment which in commercial terms is called AdBlue in Europe and DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) in the Americas is a market which is growing by over 30% per annum. The four largest producers (Yara ASA, Agrium Inc., CF Industries and Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan) produce the product as a byproduct or extra stream in their ferilizer manufacturing processes. It has been the adopted solution in Europe (being pushed by the Germans who own the AdBlue mark) and is growing in the US being pushed through the fuel distribution system. Here is a link to a presentation which provides some more background. Page 21 speaks to the US regulatory drivers which have caused adoption of this technology. http://www.firt.org/sites/default/files/MonicaBaker%20-%20An%20Overview%20of%20Industrial%20Urea%20Markets%20-%20Applications%20and%20Opportunities.pdf

2) GE actually developed a marine engine for the shipping industry which reduces SOx and NOx without the use of a special catalytic system. Here is a link. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20150212005120/en/GE-Delivers-IMO-Tier-III-Compliant-Marine#.VVnV0_lVhHw

3) Another anecdotal piece of information. Back in 2012 all other global heavy duty truck manufacturers had moved to SCR or area after-treatment, except Navistar. They tried a different approach. It failed and they were forced to switch over to SCR. The issue was their alternative technology didn't achieve the same NOx emission reductions and wasn't reliable. The gateway to NOx emission solutions in trucks and marine is through the engine manufacturers.

As a result M Fuel is a niche market play not a solution to NOx and SOx abatement. It won't crack the engine market or the power plant markets so you are left with smaller plays like chicken coops.
