Greenvale to Commence Test Program 6 on the Alpha Project, after receiving $1.175M R&D Rebate

With the receipt of the R&D rebate, Greenvale has commenced the first stage of Test Program 6. Stage 1 seeks improve the work performed by the University of Jorden (UoJ) in Test Program 5 and optimise the processing conditions before Monash University commences the bulk sample test program.

UoJ will conduct the following test runs, from samples already held by UoJ:

1. A long reaction time (5 hours) without a catalyst, at maximum pressure and 370°C.

2. One experiment using THF instead of toluene, also under maximum pressure, at 400°C.

3. Testing catalyzed reactions aimed at maximizing yield and verifying the effect on viscosity (proposed catalysts: Fe, Sn, Zn, Cu).

It is Greenvale’s expectation that after completing these experiments, the Company would be in a position to proceed to produce bulk samples under the optimal conditions identified.

Mark Turner, former CEO of Greenvale, will manage the work on behalf of Greenvale as an Independent Contractor.
