I have seen a few international conferences come and go. This one was different in that it seems to be more about investment, funding, and end use development. I expect The International DME Association to issue a comprehensive press release soon.
Some things we might expect:
Volvo's final report on diesel engine road test should be flawlessly positive. Great for Volvo, at the vanguard of this application for DME..also great for all other auto manufacturers as the reseach results and benefits are fully transferable. Keep in Mind, GM is getting a lot of flack for a diesel fuel Chevy Cruize (roll out 2014) passenger car that they know will never be accepted in the US due to environmental concerns and loss of any savings in MPG through high diesel fuel costs..use DME.. it will be a best seller.
I confidently predict, in the very near-term, that AFTC will team up with the univeristy of Minnesota. Again, the preemminant scholastic research facility for DME. Between the cunnent University, Minnesota, Argonne National Laboratories all working with AFTC - THIS IS AS GOOD AS A GRANT. THIS IS FEDERAL FUNDS HELPING AFTC - THIS IS IN LIEU OF AFTC DOING A PLANNED EXPANSION FOR R & D. This will result in AFTC focusing on production. It's a matter of OEM's knowing what they can order and production capabilities.
All this is aside from the diversification of AFTC into jet fuel pumps and other very promising areas. DME is amazing and a Big Gub for AFTC...but AFTC is NOT a one trick pony, by any means.
I have never sought premature PR from AFTC, I do feel that real things are in the offing and this "Roll-out" conference will be the turning point.
I expect substantial news soon. IMHO
