All good points Kenny. I agree, and of course I also like where we are headed. One other thing that I really like, is that if is just the tip of the iceberg of one market (poultry)in one country that uses Kerosene for heating.

I like the equation for D-20 even better than M-Fuel, as there appears to be more cost savings available for D-20 due to the use of 24% Methanol. Methanol is much cheaper than the base fuel of kerosene. I guestimate Methanol at around a $1.50 a gallon, and Keresene around $3.50 (depending on where in world, and when). I had always thought of Methanol as "wood alchohol", but recently saw that (Wikipedia) "Modern methanol is produced in a catalytic industrial process directly from carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen."

So, methanol (in my book) is a green fuel, anyway you look at it. Not only does it burn clean as part of D-20, but it appears that it is derived from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide - things of which the world is trying to have less. AND, it is cheap!

So, I think when/if the the model proves out for healthier chickens, you have tremendous upside. First, in other big poultry producing countries like China. The chicken coop market alone is huge for D-20, but then, any market that uses kerosene, like deck or space heaters, etc. ECOS could make big money, and never have to leave the keosene heating market.
